Subic Terror

One day, my friends and I decided to go on a three-day wacation in Subic. Leaving all our cares in Manila, we proceeded to enjoy the wonders of the former American naval base. We went to various pretty places.

We visited the Bat Kingdom, swam in the beach, and of course shopped at the numerous Duty-free outlets.

We stayed at a famous condominium, so we were assured of getting a good night's sleep, which we enjoyed--but only for the first two days.

On the third day, the last night before we headed back home to Manila, we decided to have a fun night. We divided ourselves into groups and each group prepared a presentation. Since I was tasked to videotape the whole thing, I was not assigned to any group.

Everyone was excited to perform. After short rehearsal, the groups performed their presentation. There were those who sang, while others preferred to dance. We all enjoyed watching the presentations. For my part, I enjoyed watching the festivities through the lens of the videocam.

When the presentations finally came to an end, we decided to give an award for the best group. After a short deliberation, we decided to award the honor to the third group. Everyone cheered for them (they were the crowd favorites).

After the excitement died down someone suggested we view the presentations on TV while we drank a few rounds of beer. So we slipped the tape into the VCR and sat back to enjoy and laugh at our friends' shenanigans.

As we watch, the screen suddenly turned black.

"What the....?"

We were all perplexed by what happened to the tape.

"Sigurado kang natape mo un (Are you sure you taped that part)?" my friends asked me.

"Oo naman (Of course)!" I said. "Wala namang naging problema nung tine-tape ko yung part na yan (There weren't any technical problems as I was taping that part)."

In the middle of our argument, Cherry, one of our girl friends began crying. We turned towards her in surprise to find out why she was crying. Then she fell into dead faint.

Panicked, we sprang into action trying to revive her.

She was stiff as a board, and she lay very, very still. We decided to carry her to the room. Normally, she was very easy to carry, being a bit small and thin. But to our surprise, it took five of my friends to carry her.

Upon reaching the room shre regained consciousness. She suddenly began wailing. Ed, one of my friends who was a psychic said she might have been possessed.

Then he confessed that he invited spirits to come to the house, to give us a scare so that we could have a thrilling night. He said the spirits he had called were the ones possessing our friend--two women, a dwarf, and a big, bad and dark man.

He said he would cast out the spirits. He began praying. He tried to talk to the spirits and asked them to leave our friend's body.

Outside, we formed circles and prayed for protection. Ed said the spirits requestd three girls to enter the room.

When the girls entered they cried as they watched my friend screaming. They continued crying as they went out of the room. Soon, they too began acting weird.

We realized that some of the spirits transferred to them and are now possessing our friends' bodies. Later, they toyed with us, transferring from one body to another.

Funny though, the spirits spared me, and my friends who were in the circle praying.

When I saw what was happening I fled to the comfort room to pray alone. But to my shock, as I was praying I heard sounds of laughing and giggling inside the restroom with me.

The hairs on the back of my neck stood and I got goosebumps.

I ran outside and rejoined my friends praying. Some of my friends were crying and laughing, acting every inch like possessed people.

Later, my psychic friend told me he had convinced the malevolent to leave. We felt him leave the room. Shortly after, we heard the door bang against the wall.

Unfortunately the remaining ghosts didn't want to leave.

It was getting late so while Ed stayed with Cherry to try to convince the spirits to leave, we fled the room and tried to get some sleep.

All through the night, we could hear doors banging downstairs. Finally, in the morning everything grew quiet. The ghosts finally left.

When she came to her senses, Cherry said she could not remember a thing.

On our way back to Manila, we talked about our experience and we knew we would never forget that terrifying night in Subic.
