(These stories are based on my personal experience. And to all of the people that I've known like friends and my relatives.
Please don't plagiarize just enjoy reading.)

Are you afraid of the Dark?

If you will ask me Yes I am but my Bravery is my light and my Courage is my shield.

"SHADOWS"

Have you experienced walking alone then suddenly all the hairs from your back stand up? Did you feel cold? Nervous? And can't utter a single word?

You run faster as you feel like there is someone at your back! A shadow! An Unseen Shadow😱 Run for your dear life.

Yes, it happened to Aunt Diana the mother of my Friend. But she is not walking instead getting water into the well.

Let's start from the very beginning of her story.

Aunt Diana lived on an Island called Isla Talima or Talima Island which is part of one of the Islands in Lapu-Lapu City. Ever since she was young she has always felt something creepy like a blurred shadow passing by giving her a chilled feeling especially when she is alone from getting a pale of water into the well which is very far from their house.

The Island had no electricity at all so she just thought maybe it was just her visions seeing some shadows in the night as it was really dark and only the light of the moon was her guiding path towards the well.

One evening night. She is told again to fetch some water. She is walking without looking back as she is really afraid of the Dark but she has no choice no one can get the water as her siblings are already married and not living in their house anymore. The moon shone so brightly and was very big. She is very happy as it gives her so much light she is no longer afraid anymore.

She happily went to the well and began to fetch water. Then she notices the shadow of the rubber tree leaves at her back is swaying. She did not bother with it as she was in a hurry, she thought it must be because of the wind.

But suddenly she saw a big Shadow at her back! So Big Shadow! She slowly raised her head and looked up and saw a very creepy Giant Creature!!! A bearded Giant Man with long hair and brown skin complexion is holding a big cigarette in his hand.

She felt all her body was frozen while looking at the big eyes of the Giant Man! And It smiles! Holy Crap! She needs to move!

So she pulled all her courage and moved then Run without looking back!!! she ran for her dear life leaving the pale of water behind.

She was so tired of running and told her mother about what happened. Her mother said it was the "Agta" in the rubber tree. Next time she told me to fetch water in the morning not in the evening anymore.

But for her, she doesn't want to go to the well anymore and meet the Giant Creature again. Until now Aunt Diana did not ever forget that creepy Giant Creature.

Agta in our Language but Kapre in Tagalog.

In Philippine Folklore, the Agta is characterized as a tree Giant.

Oh! That was indeed a creepy story. Did you already eat all your popcorn? My! I still have to tell my Mom and I Creepy Shadow Experience 😆

Let's cook another popcorn, and maybe let's include french fries?
