Ghost stories
Posted on October 29, 2009, 8:21 PM under Street StoriesAll Saints’ Day is near, and so it is time to remember our departed loved ones, and the horror stories associated with it
I was five or six years old and lived in my grandmother’s house. Days after the death of my great grandmother Urbana, I saw an old woman sitting in a window near the stairs. Her hair was “nakapusod” which was the in-thing that time. She was wearing white, which I supposed what she wore when she was laid to rest. She was looking at the national road. That window is made of wood and capiz, and still exists today. I immediately called my lola who was then washing the clothes. When we came back, nobody’s there.
Another story that I know happened in my high school – Baras National High School in Sitio Malalim. This has been told to me by two different persons and I have no reason to doubt what they saw.
It can be remembered that a vehicular accident in 2001 killed Janet, a fourth year student in BNHS. I have classmates from Barangay Pinugay and their jeep pass through the entrance of Sitio Malalim. We call them Pinugay girls then. Months after the accident, as they were walking to the school, they saw a girl in the second floor of the Ynares building. This happened many times. The Pinugay girls are always the first to arrive in our school, so it’s quite impossible for anyone to come before them. Plus, the door going to the second floor is locked. I’m not saying that the girl in the second floor is Janet. All I’m saying is Janet died near the school, and that our classmates saw a girl who looked like her in the school.
There were also some creepy stories in Baras Elementary School when DLRC and the Bahay Kastila were still there. When there were sleepovers in the DLRC, I heard that people would hear someone walking in the hallway, thereby hearing some creaking sound of the floor which was made of wood. Another was hearing a sound of chains being dragged. Plus, there were rumors that the site of BES was formerly a cemetery.
When I was in grade three, I thought that there were skulls hidden in Bahay Kastila. When I was in grade four, I was proven wrong. The basement is actually clean and is a good place to hide when we play taguan.
How about you, what are your ghost or creepy stories in Baras?

it is a movement against the construction of Laiban Dam some where between Quezon and Tanay that will submerge 7 barangays in Quezon and Tanay,They are the indigenous tribe Dumagat that will be affected by the said dam.

Yun pong sinasabi nyong rali sa Antipolo at tungkol sa dam ay tungkol sa isang di maintindihang issue kung bakit kailangan ang maggawa ng isang dambuhalang dam sa bahagi ng kabundukan ng Tanay.Palulubugin ang 7 brgy sa bundok. Nuong grade two pa ako para daw sa malinis na tubig sa lalamunan ng mga taga Metromanila. Pero sa ngayon naman na may grade two na akong apo para naman daw di na masyadong bahain at mabawasan ang mga tubig na ibinubukal ng ibang mga dam sa buong Pilipinas kapag tagbagyo.yung sinasabi na ang apektado ay ang mga dumagat lang sa Quezon at Tanay, malaking pagkakamali tayong lahat ay apektado.ang mga makabagong teknolohiya at syensya ay nakatutuwa sa biglang tingin subalit sa mas malalim na pag iisip baka mas malaki ang idudulot nitong delubyo di lang sa tao, sa kapaligiran ang tutuo minsan o mas madalas nagagamit kung paano makakapag bulsa ng pera ng bayan habang naghihirap ang maraming dumagat, mga juan dela cruz sa Pilipinas. sana lahat tayo nasa rali at sana sa dami ng nagsasabing matatalino makaisip sila ng ibang paraan sa problema hindi ang mas pabigatin ang pasanin natin

oyyyy…marami ng ganyan dito. oks lang kahit baluktot ang grammar or spelling just to express themselves is just fine. Di naman tayo kano tsaka, di naman siya makikilala dahil sa user name niya. Hwag ka na lang mamuna ng iba dahil baka ikaw nagkakamali din. NOBODY’S PERFECT. Siguro English professor ka kaya yon na lang estudyante mo korekin mo.

Ang pinaka nakakatakot na kwento sa ating bayan ay ang nangyari sa nakaraang anim na taon at sa mangyayari kung mauupo muli ang mga mumu sa munisipyo.
NAKAKAKILABOT TALAGA!!

Hi!ang bait mo naman,pero ang punto ko lang,hindi nga tayo mga kano pero hindi ibig sabihin eh pwede tayong basta na lang bumanat ng english.kung ganun din lang naman eh mag tagalog na lang d b?kesa naman magpasosyal sa pag-i- english mali naman.at por que hindi tayo mga kano eh di na natin aayusin ang pagsasalita ng wikang Ingles.At hindi po ako English teacher,isa akong Barasenian na nasa banyagang bansa at patuloy pa ring sumusubaybay sa ating mahal na bayan.salamat po.
