Hello every handsome and beautiful read.cash users! I hope everyone doing fine today. As for me, I am on my usual spot again waiting for hubby to log out from his work. And I will used this time to write an article to publish later.

Because halloween is already around the corner I decided to share again a not so creepy story experienced of one of my brother. This was happen in our family house in our town in the mountain.

So brace up and let's proceed!

One day there was a celebration in the eastern part of the village, approximately a 10 to 15 minutes walk away from our house. Every neighbors and member of our family went to that gatherings in the late afternoon, so meaning it was a night party for the villagers. My brother decided not to go with the others and stayed alone in our house.

Just a quick peek to our simple house. It was a traditional elevated house four feet from the ground. We have our kitchen built separated and joint with something we called "bangsal" a bamboo floored surface to adjoined to the two bigger house. It's like a three different houses built separately but joined by "bangsal" in between and with doors. The house was in L shape position. My brother stayed on the middle part and prepared his things to sleep in the wooden bed. We used solar lights during that time and we had a carabao's head carcases with its horn nailed to the center pillar right above the bed. We usually used this to hang things like cap and jackets.

At around 9 pm while my brother is listening to his radio he suddenly heard a faint gong music playing afar. He just ignored that sounds and continue in his sleep. But the sounds seems gets louder and louder as he heard. Fyi, our house was near to the abandoned part of the village where all the former settlers build their houses before but left the place due to the landslide that claimed two lives during a typhoon. I mentioned this in my article the Tragedy.

Though my brother heard those sounds he just ignored it thinking that someone was just trying to scare him. But as time passes by the sounds of the gong was getting nearer and nearer and the dogs begun to howl already. My brother get alarmed, the sounds from the gongs make him feel like spinning and it hurts his head and hearing too. And when he stands up to reach for his tshirt which is hanging in the horn he almost lost his balance and dropped himself on the floor. He tried to stand up and when he's about to reach his tshirt the horn suddenly rotating so fast. And he heard the sounds of the gong was in our backyard already. He says, the sounds was not normal anymore, its like a horror sounds coming from the unknown louder and deeper like a distorted music. And as he look back to the horn on the pillar while getting to his feet he sees nothing but a vigorous rotating of it. And because of fear he gathered all his strength and ran through the closed window to the other side of the house and dive down to the ground and with all his might ran through the fields way up to the nearest neighbor situated in the foot of the mountain in the southern part of the village. He called right upon approaching the house of our far relatives when their dogs barks at him. Fortunately one uncle was there resting soundly. He opened the door for my brother to get inside. The uncle asked my brother what happen that he ran like a horse with out any clothes in his body aside from his brief all through out the dark to his house. Bro by then noticed his nakedness hahaha, poor little thing😂. He told the uncle about his experienced back in our house. And the uncle said he is lucky to escaped on time if not he might be get insane or worst his spirits will took by those elements that visited him. He said, those are the dwellers in the abandoned village across the river where the former settlers were stayed before.

My brother also told us that while running on the muddy fields he heard a crowd laughing as if they are happily cheering seeing him fleeing scared. Since then he never stayed alone in our house anymore with out any companion. This brother of mine was not easily swayed to scary stories but during that time he ran as fast as he could to stay away from those creepy gong sounds.

Bonus spooky story

The rapist dragged the girl in a vacant lot and about to do his darkest plan when someone from the dark snatched him so fast then released him headless in front of the girl. Then a figure appeared from the dark with the head of the rapist in its mouth bloody and popped out eyes. Saying in a hoarse voice " Don't afraid I am your guardian who watch you everyday and night" ....wooooo wolf! wolf!

Did I scared you? Hope not👻👻👻
