home alone with the ghosties

June 23, 2008

Honestly, I don’t like being home alone. Too many strange goings-on.  I live in an old apartment that serves as a boarding house for single women. I used to have 2 roomies before but they’ve already moved out. Now, there’s only me. Tita Ana, my landlady, went back to Bicol for production so that leaves me alone.  

I really don’t mind much being alone in the daytime especially on weekdays but I do have issues being alone on weekends.  I like my peace and quiet but sometimes peace and quiet can get a little creepy..  

All of them say that a place that’s too quiet is a beacon for ghosties and other entities.. Brrr! Is it getting cold in here or what? Oops.. that was just my electric fan… heheheh.. 

Before we came to live in this old apartment, we used to live in the third floor of a new apartment building in the projects. Now, they say that the projects used to be a cemetery in the old days before they turned it into an area for the living.  

The place was nice and quiet. Just the way I liked it. Unfortunately, something else does. This happened quite some time ago. My old roomie wasn’t in. She was in Davao that time I think. Now, I got home around 1130PM and went promptly to sleep.  

At around 12MN, I was awakened by the hallway light. A lady in a white nightgown was standing there. She had her hair pinned up but funny how I couldn’t make out her face..  She went to the middle of the room. In the middle, we had this ceiling fan with the lights on it and it had this little cord which you can pull to either activate or deactivate the lights or the fan. She was playing with that. I couldn’t move. I was like frozen.  

And then just like that, it was over. I could move again.  

I asked my roomie if she’s experienced something strange in that room. She just asked me if it was male or female. I told her it was female. She said that she felt something before. She called it an elemental I think. She said that they’re neither good nor bad. Just playful.  

Let me tell you, I never ever want to experience something like that again.  

But hey, if you want more creepy stories or more paranormal experiences, try visiting Strange Days. Just a warning though. Make sure you sleep with the lights on. I do.
