When I was in grade school, I experienced paranormal activities like white lady showing up. I do believe in this kind of entity so I did not try to go through our school at night.
Many people in our area have such beliefs that I have never experienced before. Some say they are showing kapre, tikbalang, white lady, and ghost. Since I was young then I easily believed.
Before six o'clock in the evening, I go home to our house. So I tell my mother to order if there is more to buy at the store. Because I don't want to go out in the dark. I was scared to see what they said were bad spirits and souls.
One time there was a sudden power interruption in our place. During those times we did not have an emergency light or even a flashlight. We also had no candles and our lamp had no kerosene. Since we had no light to use I was forced to go to the store to buy kerosene or a candle. My mother can't go out of the house to buy because she is taking care of my youngest sister's baby. Around 8:00 pm the night I go to the store. When I just left the house, it was very dark and because there was no electricity, I could not see any light on the road. I prefer to just look straight ahead and not look around. When I got to the store some distance from our house I quickly knocked to buy. When I went home I did the same. Suddenly the wind blew and someone hissed near me. In my fear, I ran until I reached our house.
I sweat a lot when I come to our house. I told my mother what had happened. Maybe my mother felt that I was so scared so she encouraged me to think that what I heard was just like that. I just told my mother that I didn't want to leave the house at that time again. Mom just laughed because what I told her seemed like a threat.
I was able to leave the house even at night and in the dark as long as I had someone with me.
I was in fourth grade when we had graduation day at our school. At that time, even grade 4s were graduating. So we had to celebrate and prepare even just a few dishes. Mostly because in our area the graduation is held at night. I have a classmate who invited me after graduation. I took him with me to have dinner and join us at the party my parents made.
I told my classmate that he would be home tomorrow and it was already night. He said his parents allowed him to come with us but he also had to go home. I told my father that we would take my classmate to their house. My father didn't want to just say that he would just sleep at our house and bring him home tomorrow.
My classmate wanted to go home during those hours. Since I invited him to come with us, it was my responsibility to bring him home to them. So I did nothing but accompany him home. I ran away with him and did not say goodbye to my parents. We have a bike so I also ran away with our bike.
My classmate's house is far away. We will pass through the school. I rode him on our bike and I drove. Because I have someone with me so I am not afraid of dark places. Until I took him home and he and his parents thanked me. I stayed with them for a few more minutes so that his parents could talk while we ate the prepared food with my classmate. Like my father, his parents didn't want to let me go home and I just spent the night with them. I just said I was going home because my dad was waiting for me. I have a bike to go home. So they agreed.
I'm on my way home to ride our bike. I suddenly remembered what I experienced when I bought kerosene at the store. I just ignored it and thought what my mother told me was just a fantasy. I just pedaled our bike straight even though I knew I was right in front of our school which was very dark. I don’t know why I was distracted at school. I have not seen anything that they say is malignant and soulful. Even the white lady who often shows up in that place, I didn't see anything. At that time it was past eleven o'clock.
I came home to our house feeling safe and fearless. My parents also did not realize that I left and I took my classmate home. I was just told not to repeat without letting them know. But I also received praise because at that age I was able to go home alone at such a time and in such a dark place.
From then on, even when I had no one to go out with at night, I was no longer afraid.
It crossed my mind that as long as I could not see I would not believe it.
