Scary Stories 3

Nangliligaw na Elemento

Shared by : Drazi

This just happened a few days ago. Yung lola ko madalas nililigaw ng kung anong maligno dito sa province namin. I often dismiss it as her being old, so I was thinking na baka nadi-disorient lang sya due to old age, deteriorating memory and poor sense of direction and all that. Pero madalas na nangyayari sa kanya ito and there's a common thing - she claims she hears someone gasping for air, yung parang hingal na hingal daw na hindi parang pagod na hingal kundi yung magaspang na hingal. basta may distinction sya to describe it, I just couldn't find the right term for it as the word is a Batangueño word na medyo malalim.

Nung nalaman ng mga relatives ko ang nangyaring ito sa lola ko, nagpuntahan yung mga tito ko pati mga ibang neighbors and to my disbelief, nangyari din pala sa kanila yun, mas grabe nga daw yung sa tito ko kasi niligaw din daw sya somewhere in the woods, then nung nagkamalay na sya, he found himself in the town proper, which is approximately 6-7 kilometers from our baryo. he ended up being picked up by one of our relatives then.

Then yung isa ko namang cousin, same story din. Basta ang ganda-ganda daw ng dinadaanan nya, diretso lang na malaking highway. then he found himself inside their living room, nakahilata sya sa sahig. di makapaniwala yung mga parents nya pati mga kapatid nya 'coz they spent almost all-day looking for my cousin, only to find out that he's in the living room lying on the floor unconscious.

I got so curious with this string of events that I wanted myself to experience this. Im so curious kasi pareho lahat sila ng sinasabi, nung niligaw daw sila, nakita nila na may magandang daan, sort of like a highway, a huge highway pero walang dumadaang mga sasakyan. which is far from reality 'coz we live in a barrio, the kind where there are lots of bamboo trees and acacia trees, basta probinsyang-probinsya ika nga.

Sa sobrang curious ko, nagpunta ako dun sa area na madalas may naliligaw, ito yung part sa baryo namin na maraming puno ng mangga at acacia. Nga pala, every time kasi na umaalis ako sa bahay namin, laging sumusunod sa akin yung aso namin, sobrang loyal sa akin. hehehe. so nagpunta nga ako sa area na yun with my dog, nung nandun na ako sa area, may hangin na nag-sway sa mga leaves and me being particularly observative that time, napansin ko na parang may pattern yung paghampas ng hangin sa mga puno, may certain direction. basta, ang hirap i-explain eh. and here's the creepy part, nag-misbehave yung aso ko in such a way that it stayed beside me. which is unusual kasi pag namamasyal ako sa gubat, although kasama ko itong aso namin, medyo dumidistansya sya, laging nauuna sa akin as if he tries to clear the area, kasi maraming monitor lizards and ahas dito sa amin e. so there, our dog acted so weirdly and unexpectedly, iniwan ako mag-isa sa area na yun, tumakbo pabalik yung aso namin pabalik sa house namin, which is so unlikely of him kasi lagi ko yang kasabay umuwi. so di na ko nagtagal and umuwi na din ako sa bahay namin. there's really something in that area, I don't know. I'm yet to find that out.
