My entry

Both my parents lived and grew up in a country. Though they live from different place. My father is from Quezon province and my mother is from Bacolod they both share almost the same stories. About this myhts that they say. Before when I was still a child almost every night they share a lot of spooky stories to me and this one is the spookiest of them all.

Let's begin

Well, this story started when my both my parents live together, my father went to Bacolod Province so that they can live Peacefully there. It was actually a day from the start, everything's doing great until one time.

While walking my father accidentally bumb to a beautiful lady. He then help the lady and immediately ask for forgiveness. The lady doesn't talk but just smile on my father. My mother saw everything but doesn't care to enter the scenario. After that they walk straight. A old lady went to them and whisper them that they shouldn't look at that lady especially in her eyes because they will be one of her subject. My father doesn't believe on hersey especially about ghost, myths , or scary creatures. So they just ignore what the old man say.

But then, something creepy happened. My father told me that in almost every place he go the girl she bumb on is in there staring at her. My father thought it's just him hallucinating things. Until my mother told the same. That from far away she's sawing this girl standing. One night my father's guard dog is continuously barking. Barking as loud but scared at the same time, you can see from its tail how scared he is. Because of loud bark my father wake up. He then checked window by window but he didn't see any at all. He then look for his dog. My father saw where it is barking at and saw a lady from before. On that, my father confron8 the girl and ask what's the appointment is. The girl answered that she just passed their house and wanted to gave a basket of vegetables she have. My father get the basket for the lady to just go away. My mother is very afraid that time.

On the next following week. My mother got sick, her health fall down so fast that it's like she was hit by a plauge. They went to the hospital and the hospital gave them some medicine to take. Their neighbors recommend them to went to a "albularyo" heale because something is not right. And so they did. When they went to the healer, they was blessed so fast. They didn't need to say a word it's the healer do all things. The healer said my mother was subjected by a curse a black magic. He also said who's the person behind it that it's a girl not just a normal girl but someone who's with nature. He said that the creature from the tree have her sight on dad and she'll do anything to have my father. The healer then gave them a pendant and made my mother drink some blessed water. After that all the pain my mom experiencing disappear.

They thought everything is alright, until one day. Since that day. Everytime my father going to walk pass through the small river where there's a balete "fig tree" it's a a big creepy tree with a lot of creepy vines. That everytime my father passed here he always got trip. One day my father went from a festival, it last until night and he needed crossed the river again. He got tripped and on when he get up he can't move. He then got pissed on the lady and shouted loudly, he pull out his bolo and randomly swinging it. He shouted "what's your deal with???" "You want me? No you can't take me" get me out of here" my mother on the other hand is in their house she can't think clearly because for no reason. The wind blewing so strong like they doesn't want my mother to get out. My mother doesn't care of the wind, with a lamp on her hand she went to look for my dad. She then remember what my father talking about the river. He then saw my father who can't move to his place and a the lady at the side of the river near the tree. My father can't see the lady but my mother saw everything. She then rushed to my father and violently pushed her to move to the other side of the river. My mother look at the lady like a staring contest. My mother hold her ground. And after that day. They move her to manila.

Closing thought...

I don't know if it's a made up story, but whether I asked them they always telling a same story. I actually ask them in different time and their story are the same. So I thinking they're telling the truth. That I'm province theres actually creature living with us. Just hiding their identity from the rest of the population. .
