We have exactly 31 days ‘til Halloween, and our section has already started preparing for our scare issue. Being one of those who seem to be brave enough to face the ‘others’, I was chosen by my editor to cover the four psychic warriors in Studio 23’s fast rising horror reality show, Nginiig (Shiver).
Interviewing the psychics will be a breeze (especially since one of them is a total hottie), but it’s the quest that’s giving me the creeps.
Yup, we’re joining one crazy ghost hunt and I got to admit I’m both excited and apprehensive about the assignment. We’ll be going to an alleged haunted house somewhere in Antipolo, and the owners there are asking help since the ghosts are capable of hurting people. I’m going with my new officemate, Carlos, who incidentally has an opened third eye. It’s really not that open, but he sure can see ghosts once in a while.
Which brings me to his recent story, which got me running everytime I had to go down the stairs. You see our office is located in the 2nd and a half floor of the building (the mezzanine) and we’re pretty much a recluse from the rest of the writer’s pool. If we want to go to the lady’s room we have to go down one flight of stairs and pass by the staircase going up the gym.
The gym looks pretty normal in the daytime, but once nighttime falls, poof, it’s literally the black hole up there – and you get the feeling the darkness is sucking the light from our floor. Also, and I know it’s cliché, but you could actually feel someone watching you from all that black. One time, Carlos went up the gym and he saw a priest with his back turned, standing on the stage. The creepy thing is that he looks like a priest from the Spanish times. Anyway, that’s not really the creepiest story yet.
Aside from the constant man that Carlos sees sitting in the darkness, he recently experienced a truly hair-raising ordeal that’s making him think twice about joining this Friday’s quest.
He was about to pass the gym stairs when he saw this ‘figure’ slowly going down the stairs. You know those stickmen we often draw when we’re asked to make human figures? That was literally what Carlos saw, a stickman – all black, 7ft tall, going down the stairs. My officemate just froze in his tracks at the sight of the figure, and suddenly, it turned to look at him. The funny thing though was that it also stopped it’s descent, and then began running back up.
What was it? No idea. But sure as hell scared me as well.
Also one time, some friends who have third eyes once visited our room and one of them claimed our floor contains a portal to the next world. In fact, when one of them was looking at me, he kept on glancing at me and looking as though I was covered in some kind of divider since he was stretching his head just to talk to me. After a minute, he suddenly blurted out, "Oh, so that’s how you look like". So when I asked him what he meant, he said something was blocking me that’s why he couldn’t see me properly. When I asked what it was, all he said was that there was a blinding light covering my whole physique. I paled, but he told me not to worry because that really happens some time. He also said not to get scared with the ghosts (who often make their presence felt by running to and from the hall, but when we go out to get a look, no one’s there), since most of them are harmless.
But harmless or not, I’m not really that crazy to see one.
Oh well, wish me luck this Friday!
