Creepy Urban Legends

Halloween’s party isn’t over yet. Yesterday as I was browsing my twitter, I’ve seen a lot of celebrities flexing their scariest costumes. Even on every tv shows, the topic was all about creepy and scary encounters by an individual. And who would’ve missed the KMJS “Gabi ng Lagim” special. For some reason, I am fond of watching this segment that days before the special episode comes out, I’ve been watching the previous years episodes on you tube. To my non Filipino readers KMJS is popular magazine show in our country. If you want to know her, you can search all of her show’s episodes which are uploaded in youtube.

Speaking of halloween, I’ve been reading a lot of scary stories from my fellow read.cash readers for the past days and I am so loving it. With all honesty, I just love reading it but I don’t want to experience it in real life. Of course, experiencing it is a whole lot different from reading. I grew up in the province, and eversince I was a kid I heard a lot of stories that have something to do with paranormal activities. Aside from that, urban legends is a popular topic too during this season. let me list down some of the scariest urban legends that has been spread all over our country for decades now.

White Lady

First on the list is the white lady at balete drive. According to the legend, the white lady is a ghost of a teenage girl who was hit by a taxi driver and then buried near the balete tree. From then on, the ghost keeps on haunting most specially on taxi drivers whenever they passed on Balete drive at night. They said the ghost was probably seeking for justice. There were actually a lot of different version about this very famous white lady on Balete drive, and because of that many motorists were afraid to passed by at this particular street specially at night.

The jeepney driver

I have read this story in one of the ghosts book I love to read when I was still in college. The story is about the a student who ride the jeepney going home at night. She was the only passenger at that time. When she asked the driver to dropped at her stop, the driver looked at her in the rear view mirror and continued driving. Though the student is a little afraid, because of what might happened, the driver finally dropped at her supposedly stop. While leaving the jeepney, the driver told the student to burn her clothes right away because she saw the girl student headless in the mirror earlier which could mean death.

Headless Priests

These headless priests were also very popular back when I was a kid. Somehow stories like this is effective so that kids won’t go out at night, because according to some, if you see one something bad is going to happen to you. From what I have heard and read, these headless priests was from the world war II era. For some reason they were beheaded. We all know how cruel or brutal our countrymen suffered under that very dark times in the history. And all these priests were one of the victims too.

Haunted Universities

Many of the old universities in our country believe to be haunted. As this was used to be a cemetery and for some other reasons. Back in high school days, I’ve witnessed some of my schoolmates who were said to be possessed by some unknown spirits. Fortunately nothing bad happened to them afterwards.

Here in the Metro, popular school like University of the Philippines in Diliman have a fair share of ghosts stories among its former students. There is a particular building where the ghost haunts the students. Rumor has it that it was an old student who was molested and then found dead the next day.

My way

Everyone is familiar by Frank Sinatra’s song my way. But this song believes to be a cursed song within our country, that whoever sings it will eventually died. Most of Filipinos loves karaoke specially on every occasion. And celebrations wouldn’t be completed without it, but because of this killing phenomenon this particular song was removed from the playlist, according to others to prevent unfortunate killings that was connected with the song.

So that was some of the creepy urban legends I could share for now. I know there’s a whole lot more as our country is very rich when it comes to this creepy stories.
