UP Ghost Stories

Collection of UP Ghost Stories from Inq7.Net, August 7, 2001. Encoded by September on Pinoy Exchange.

MARITA

Seen at: Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero Theater
Claim to fame: If Poveda has an Ursula, the UP theater department has Marita.
She was a theater actress. In her last scene, she was lowered to the stage via a harness. When it snapped, she was choked and died. She sometimes appears in theater productions when there are lots of cast members in one scene. Once she was branded a bad actress when everybody on stage was running while
she was just walking.

MYSTERY LADY NO. 1

Seen at: Sunken Garden
The story: A couple was making out in a car parked near the Sunken Garden (where else) while their barkada were looking out for guards. In the middle of the Sunken Garden, a girl appeared, teasing some of them and doing provocative acts. As they followed the girl, they were led to the couple's car. The flirtatious girl vanished. The guy inside the car cried because, according to him, in the middle of their necking, a strange voice kept saying: "Anong ginagawa n'yo? Anong ginagawa n'yo? Anong ginagawa n'yo? (What are you doing?)"

DEAD ROOMMATE

Seen at: Kalayaan residence
The story: It was the onset of sem break. While a resident was still packing her bag, her roommate was ready to go. Since the former wasn't done yet, the latter went ahead. Then the roommate's parents came in looking for her. The resident told them that she already left. When the resident was about to finish her packing, she opened the closet and saw her roommate inside--already decomposing.

MYSTERY LADY NO. 2

Seen at: Vinzons Hall (second-floor comfort room)
The story: A student was sitting in the toilet when he felt someone was patting or smoothing his head. When he looked up, a girl, hanging from the ceiling, was staring him straight in the eye.

THE DISAPPEARING COMMUTERS

Seen at: One of the jeepneys plying the campus (sorry, I don't know the plate number, etc.)
The story: A guy made sabit at the end of the jeepney because it was full of passengers. After a few minutes, the driver curiously asked him why he wasn't taking a seat. As the guy was about to say that all the seats were taken, he saw that the jeepney was empty.
