Creepy Encounters

There are numerous stories which cover facts, fictions, and mysteries; they brutally gnaw our vitals whenever the unexplained existence of the supernatural being is resilient. When I was a kid, horror movies could hardly move me…I mean, being totally shocked by the growling or flying creatures. I wasn’t really a chicken-livered entity.

My grandfather (mama’s side) used to share legends about witchcrafts; thus we ceased not to forget. Living in the province was like offering yourself to a number of elements. Children would tend to scare one another, even have the stomach to discover creeps. Definitely, “my nerve is bigger than my size.”

My eyes used to catch shadows at home whenever I was reviewing notes late at night. I refused recounting such sighting, but everything is still vivid to me. My third eye had perked up upon reaching high school. I’d seen dwarf-like mortal, human silhouette in the corners, flying human-form, shouting eerie tone, and touching frosty hand. Those were few of my strange encounters with the unexplained.

I reached Capiz in Panay Island when I was assigned in Iloilo City; it’s been believed that “aswang” (a mythical creature in our folklore) exists throughout the province. Anyhow, my visit and other concurrent visits didn’t meet my expectation. I wanted to make my hair standing on its end then, though it seldom happened…but my being cognizant wasn’t active enough.

One afternoon in Iloilo City when my eyes were sealed while all ears to a television show, a black & beast-like mortal had emerged face-to-face with me. It was a total terrifying situation when I felt messing with the bull to get the horns. My lips were elongated as she was pulling them with hers; thus, my mind had to be over matter. I prayed the Lord’s Prayer and was released before the powerful word, “amen”.

Many say I’m gifted with an inner eye that opens the gate that leads to internal dominion of higher consciousness. I wouldn’t rebuff the fact that mine is functional since childhood. I still appreciate that this distinctive ability is compensated by not being COWARD.
