This is the first time I'm telling this story, for it's too cruel to me. The scary part is nothing compared to the beginning to me. The beginning is the reason why I'm not scared of the scary part. :cry: :cry:

i'm a scaredy-cat, so..so!

and i hope i won't experience any ghostly experience...

but the university i'm currently studying in is scary.. it has been featured as one of the scariest universities here in the phil..

there's this building(valentines building-this is where i have my english class).

and reportedly... "the ghost of a dead female student haunts the women’s restroom, several female students since the early 70's have reported seeing her. The ghost is usually seen during noon. Classes have been interrupted because of screams from the girls.
According to the students she appears behind them while they are looking in the mirror while doing their make up or fixing their hair.
The ghost of Rev. Valentine who was beheaded can be seen on certain nights standing at the entrance of the hall dedicated to him. The ghost is reported to be headless."

copied from http://theshadowlands.net/places/philippines.htm


and one of my closest friends could attest to that. we were working on our presentation for our english class, but my mom, thank heavens, called me to go home for it was already 8:30 pm..not that late(but it takes me 30 mins to get home), so home i went..

since we're 8 in the group, and i together with 1 gp mate who had to go home too, went ahead, 6 were left all girls.

after 30 mins.. they were already through with the proj.. my bestfriend, meishee, wanted to pee. so she went there, alone. she isn't a scaredy-cat anyway. she, i would say is one person who doesn't believe in ghosts-not until what happened to her.

according to her, she was brushing her hair while texting her mother,when she suddenly felt a hand caressing her hair. it couldn't be hers, she knows, not a friends' cuz she was so alone in there, and she didn't hear any sound signifying that somebody went in the cr.

she wasn't looking at mirror cuz she was at the same time texting.. when she wanted to look at the mirror, the lights suddenly went off. she didn't scream she thought it was just our friends who were teasing her, then the lights went on, and off and on and off.. she saw the lady without a head, really..scary....that's the time when she screamed.. she told us that it really scared the whole of her. our friends ran to the cr and found her speechless and shaking..

(my friends knew it..since there'r alot of stories about the cr)., one of them uttered, "meish??, my multo? diba?!" <meish?, there's a ghost, right?>

meishee gave her the "yes" kind of stare..

they just ran as far as they could

though there were guards roaming around, they prefered not to reoprt it..don't know why..

after hearing that story and coming from a meishee, who never believed in ghosts until that incident,i vowed never to enter that cr..ever..

hehe.. yeah, that made me think, so why am i still studying in this university??... :roll: you see, this school was founded by American Missionaries, during WW2 many of the missionaries were executed by the Japanese.. maybe that's why alot of schools in here have scary stories.. one more reason is that, this univ offers the course i want and has quality educ. :wink:

i remember.. the university i was studying in when i was in elementary also had scary stories, same with my high school..

these schools were built in 1908 and 1905 respectively

i guess every school in this place has its own scary tales to tell..

i haven't had any ghost experience so far in my current university. maybe because i try never to stay late..hehe

I think I'm a paranoid person sometimes, especially when I watch, read or hear anything scary for a long while.

I can think of "what ifs" too in the bathroom with my friends. What if I'm in the toilet stall and I suddenly see the girl's head in front of me, floating there and my friends were just outside washing their hands? I wouldn't know what to do.... :shock:
:( I'm getting carried away with my imagination :wink:

yeah, i'm a paranoid too.. you have no idea.. :lol: :lol:
i would just sing or pray just to divert my mind to other things..

sometimes, no matter how i convince myself that it's all in the mind, i just can't, still scared ..i ain't a good liar, can't convince myself.. :lol:

and being a not-so-talkative-girl or should i say, the i-often-opt-to-be alone type, i'm also scared..my friends told me that ghosts are most likely to appear to that kind of person.. those who don't really talk, passive... :roll:

i don't believe in them though.. (or am i just convincing myself.?.. :lol: )

Are us "loners" really more suspectable to ghosts? I think it's all really just in our heads, (but I still can't persuade myself that it's only in my head. :cry: ) *sigh* I'm just like you... trying to convince myself.

That was long time ago, Dixie. It happened in a place where we had stayed before. When it was already a bit late at night, I saw a figure of a lady standing by our service gate. Then, I just left and didn't bother to go deeper into it. Just thinking that it was only my imagination. Then the next day, I heard from neighbors that there was a white lady going around the area... hehehehe... I just don't know if that's the one... Image but never mind, forget. I still feel creepy thinking about it.

This is one of my all time favorite questions! :D

Considering I love Stephen King novels, one can easily guess what my answer would be.
Not only have I seen a ghost, I totally believe in ghosts! {-:

A few years ago, my granny went to visit an aunt of mine who had moved to the countryside. All kinds of crazy things happened and to this day the family denies the fact that my granny was "possessed".

She spoke of things that a few others other than the old lady who had died in that house knew of. These other people were shocked to know about things my gramma knew!

So yes, ghosts are never a thing of past... Watch out...there's one seated right next to you as you read this post! {-: :twisted:

I have seen a ghost up close. In my sister’s basement. I was going down a shadowy hall when suddenly, out of my sister’s hobby room a small dark shadow, darker than the hallway, dashed in front of me & suddenly disappeared. A cat. Smaller than the 3 cats that my sister owns. My sister has also seen it. Neither of us has had an encounter with it for a few years. Maybe it found its way out.
