More Haunted Places in the Philippines

Philippines, though a small island country, has a number of noted hauntings documented, study of those is very important for any paranormal enthusiast. These hauntings range from smoky to full-bodied (even headless) apparitions of dead people.

Balete Drive, a street in New Manila, Quezon City, gained fame during the '80s because of a certain lady dressed in white who was reported to hail cabs, ride for a while, then mysteriously disappear.

Legend has it that this woman was a rape victim unceremoniously dumped in the street. It didn't help that Balete Drive was poorly lit and lined with numerous balete trees, which are home to supernatural creatures according to popular folklore.

Despite the lack of evidence to support this story, many people avoided driving there.

The Manila Film Center was erected during the Marcos regime as a venue for a film festival to be attended by international movie stars.

During construction, an accident happened -- the upper floor collapsed, sending the workers down into the freshly laid concrete below, burying them alive. It was a tragedy; but with the deadline of the festival looming, Imelda Marcos allegedly instructed that the buried victims be left unearthed, and just covered with another layer of concrete.

Thus begins the urban legend of the Manila Film Center, whose walls are said to talk. Because there are actually people inside them.

Probably all school campuses, especially those that have seen and survived the war, have stories of hauntings. However, the Los Baños campus of the University of the Philippines seems to outdo all these. Not only did it witness the war, it is also situated at the foot of the mysterious Mount Makiling -- a spooky, supernatural combination. They have sightings of Philippine mythical creatures like the kapre. They have bridges that seem to take forever to cross at night. And they have the infamous Baker Hall, another former Japanese war camp, where ghosts of garroted prisoners are said to appear all the time.

Clark Air Base, being an American settlement, experienced some major bombing from the Japanese during the War. One of these reportedly happened during Christmas of 1941 -- an air raid that was the death of merrymakers inside the Home Plate canteen, who were then celebrating Christmas. The souls apparently have not lost their party spirit, as early morning joggers have reported hearing party music and excited talk coming from inside, even when the building is obviously empty.

Other paranormal activities are reported in the abandoned Clark Air Base Hospital, where apparitions and mysterious voices are common occurrences. Violent spirits witnessed by the inhabitants have rendered the area off limits to everyone. And in Clark Museum, the ghost of a serviceman who committed suicide still haunts the place where he hanged himself.
