Cayio told me this urban legend about the old rural building in UPLB while we were sitting in front of the bonfire in Galera. I was so terrified that I fell off the bench and almost ran through the beach had he not managed to grab my arm. This happened in front of Cayio's Zoology classmates and I was wearing a skirt. Talk about embarassment.
In revenge, I would tell that story to anyone every chance I get. I already got Clint and Lara. Boy, how I'd smile in spite of myself everytime their reactions come into my mind.
Last Sunday night, Romeo was in the staff house and I told him the story. Last night, Lara told me that because of the story, Romeo had nightmares. He dreamt of Angel, the rambunctious little girl next door. That child makes Dennis the Menace look like an angel. Romeo saw Angel walking towards him and when she was close enough, she morphed into a frightening old lady.
Lara said that the same happened to her as well. Though not because of my story, she had been having nightmares about Angel which became frequent when she transferred to our present room. (She had the back room before I moved in.)
We turned out the lights and I was almost drifting off to sleep when I suddenly felt thirsty. I turned on the lights and opened the door and when I was standing at the top of the stairs, I was suddenly overwhelmed with fear. I went back running to the room and tagged Lara along. When we were both standing at the top of the stairs, I casually mentioned that since Angel hails from the Visayas, maybe she has witchcraft powers. That statement sent Lara and I running back to the room. We called for Clint in the next room and I asked him if he could go downstairs and get me a glass of water. Perhaps he only didn't tell but he was also afraid because he refused to go by himself. I eventually brushed my thirst off and went back to bed.
My bed is positioned perpendicular to the bedroom door. In fact, it is in the middle of the bedroom door and the veranda door. My head is by the veranda door and my foot is by the bedroom door. Clint said it was bad to have the bed positioned as is. Feng Shui something something. I'm not very superstitious nor spiritual and for good reason because if it were my bed in the wrong position, why is Lara the one having the nightmares?
Lara and I ended up talking about Gracie's perception of bad vibes in the house. That's why she doesn't want to move in. Well, I'm very sensitive to supernatural forces and I haven't exerienced anything odd yet. Lara and I agreed to sleep with the light on and we were only comforted after we talked about our ex-OJT Camay cutie Vincent. Bigaon ko! o^_^o
