The Campus Imp
I was teacher at Central Philippine University. One night, reluctantly, I worked late to prepare the next day's test paper. It was well known that the campus was haunted and true to the accusation, strange things did take place that night.
There I was, in my class, minding my work when I heard a "thud" sound coming from upstairs. I thought, maybe some unlucky soul had to work late as well. Feeling glad I wasn't the only one, I felt save and comfortable, I went on working.
Minutes of serenity passed, then, I heard someone running on the floor above. I wasn't scared, but was curious to see who was this comrade of mine. So, I got out of my class and made my way upstairs. I saw that the lights were switched on. I thought that was a good sign - it showed that someone was indeed there and that I wasn't imagining the noise. I looked through the window but saw no one. I called, "hello, hello, anyone there?" but there was no reply. I tried to open the doors but they were locked. I looked a bit more and then gave up, thinking the person could have gone away for a bite or something. I went back downstairs to my work.
Later, about half an hour or so, I heard a laughter. It was a child like, high pitched, laughter! Then, I began to get spooked; lots of things went through my mind. But I wasn't going to conclude anything until I saw with my own eyes what it was. I dumped all my things in my bag, carried it with me and went upstairs again.
What I saw, almost gave me a heart attack! I saw a little hairy thing running across the classroom then disappeared in thin air! I swear it was real! I only saw it's hairy back. It was around 3 to 4 ft in height. At first, I thought it was a chimpanzee but it was upright, ran on two legs like a little child and it didn't have long "chimp" arms.
The part that got me to run like hell was its sudden vanishing! It, literally, disappeared right before my eyes!

Bad Girls and the Bathroom Ghost
I was a student at the Central Philippine University in 1985. I had two best friends, Marie and Jacky. We were considered "the bad, but cool, girls."
It wasn't easy to join our group, nor were we looking for additional members. We enjoyed ourselves being "bad" girls - well not the kind that you probably would have in mind. We were still conservative in our unique ways.
Anyway, we always frequent the girl's restroom for a make over, smoke and the usual gossip. One day, on one of our routine smoking sessions, a girl we never saw before came in and started fixing her hair. She totally ignored us - that was disrespectful! We were furious at her audacity, for no one - and I mean no one - would dare come in the girls' room when we were in there.
We stared at her hard but she, apparently, wasn't intimidated at all. So Jackie, being the most assertive of us, nudged her and went with her face close to her cheek. The room became so silent, you could literally hear a pin drop. It was a tense moment and we were all at the edge of our breaths. Then suddenly, the stranger turned her head sharply toward Jackie! Jackie screamed, and that led to a chain reaction of screams from Marie and me as well. Jackie jolted backwards and nearly tripped over my foot.
We stood there in horror! Was she going to hurt us? Were we doomed for all the things we had done against many girls like her? These questions went through our minds equally. We stood there staring at her face which was blue, and her eyes were bloodshot and popped halfway out of the sockets!
It is the most horrendous, most scary thing I have ever seen in my life! I've been scared by sights in the movies but nothing beats this!
After that incident, we stopped using the girls' room as often, and vowed not to bully anyone anymore.
