Scary Stories 3

Ball of Fire, Golden Chicken & Sixth Sense

Shared by nicolodeon

This experience of mine happened 11 years ago at Amlan, Tanjay, Negros Oriental. We were driving home from a bayle that we had attended. It was about 2-3 AM. I was driving, my wife was at the front passenger seat while her two cousins were at the back of the wrangler-type jeep. We were happily chatting away when for some unknown reason, we stopped talking and strangely, we all looked in front of our vehicle all at the same time. What we saw really scared us to a full stop and full-retreat to where we came.

About 6 meters in front of our jeep was a bouncing ball of fire. We thought initially that it was a prank but we decided it was real when that ball of fire bounced across the street, bounced a few feet forward, stopped, started to bounce erratically. Then, it turned and started bouncing towards us. That's when I reversed-gear and headed back to where we came. The next day, we learned from some elders that it was a tormented soul who died a horrible accident on that strip of road. She also informed us that we are not the only ones who saw that "phenomenon" - lots of locals see that ball of fire all the time.

On the third to the last day of our two-week stay, we attended another bayle. We headed for home at nearly the same time (2-3 AM). We were initially scared because we were thinking we'd see that ball of fire again. When we didn't we were relieved.

However, a kilometer or so past the area where we saw the ball of fire, one of my wife's cousins screamed (she was sitting in front this time) because of what she saw on the road: it was a golden chicken followed by equally golden chicks. No bullshit- we really saw those golden fowls. My wife's late grandmother told us that if we follow the golden chicken, it would disappear at a certain spot, and on that spot we would find burried treasure. She also told us that menfolk in the past did follow the chicken to find the gold. However, most of them either died from an unknown sickness or were never seen again.

I have two more, but that would be for another post. Time to work muna.

Eto na yung last two "encounters" ko...

Nung ika-9th day after ng ilibing ang tatay ko, lumabas ako para bumili ng ice. Nung makalabas ako ng garahe, naamoy ko immediately yung pomada ng tatay ko - pero hindi yung sasakyan namin ang gamit ko. Tapos, after a few minutes eh nilamig talaga ako at parang may humahaplos ng tenga ko. Talagang nararamdaman ko. Ginawa ko eh binuksan ko lahat ng bintana at pinatay ko ang aircon - pero ang lamig pa rin; yun bang lamig na nakakakilabot. Nung pauwi ako ganun din.

Yung isa naman eh sa may Negros din nangyari. Pauwi kami galing Bais. May nadaanan kaming puno ng balete. Pagkatapos nun, para bang hindi ko na alam ang daan pauwi sa mga tiyahin ni kumander. Ang nangyari eh nagpaikot-ikot kami. Ang weird eh yung ilang ikot namin na yun eh nadaraan namin yung same na balete tree na nadaanan namin earlier. Sabi nung kasama namin sa kotse eh mukhang na-tiyanak kami or napaglararuan ng mga maligno. Ang ginawa namin, bumaba kami ng sasakyan - at nagbaligtad kami ng mga damit namin (pati undies). Wala ng hiya-hiya - naghanap kami ng madilim na part sa tabi ng kalsada at dun kami nagpalit. Ayun, nakauwi rin kami - nang baligtad ang mga damit. Buhat non, pag umuuwi kami dun sa mga lola ni kumander sa Negros eh hangga't maaari eh ayaw ko ng magmaneho sa gabi after 8PM.

Ang dumadagdag pa sa hilakbot ko eh may parang sixth sense ako - which is ayaw na ayaw ko talaga. While yung ibang mga cousins ko eh accepted na may sixth sense sila (in fact, open na ang third eye nila - if you believe in such), ako ayaw kong i-open yung third eye ko kahit anong pilit nila dahil talagang natatakot ako.
