I have been reading blogs about SWC, though I do not have that extreme experience like others but somehow would like to share few of my experiences, specially in our old house when I was still studying...
Ever since I was a kid, I have been hearing stories about a tall dark man who's looking after my grandparents' house. They also said that we have little friends roaming around the garden but haven't seen them with my own eyes.
Me, my sisters and few of our cousins grew up in that house. House was lively and I can say, we're about 15 to 20 staying there until one after the other went abroad. It came to the point that the 4 bedrooms upstairs were converted to 2 big rooms. Since then, we were seeing something that ordinary eyes can't see and experiencing/feeling something ordinary person cannot.
Supernatural Entities

Our house is two-story with basement and surrounded by giant trees. We have huge garden, there is sari-sari store and our grandparents are staying there. There is also a cliff at the backyard, it is steep but if you're strong enough maybe you can manage to go down and have some good bath in the river.
Our neighbors believed that a Kapre is looking after our house. They keep on saying that at midnight, sometimes, they see the Kapre wearing torn pants and wide-brimmed hat with long tobacco standing under the giant Mango tree in front of our house. But honestly, I never saw him though that giant Mango tree is right in front of my window.
The most supernatural entity I keep seeing then is a White Lady sitting on our single sofa placed at the end of the stair from 2nd floor. She is always sitting there and I keep on seeing her whenever I feel like going to bathroom at the middle of the night. We do not have toilet in second-floor and we have to go down the basement, 2 toilets are there. So I have no choice but to pass beside that mysterious white lady. At first, of course, I am frightened but eventually got used to it as long as she will not do crazy stuffs to us. But boy,, still there are times that I'd rather not go to washroom than pass beside her. She has long hair but face is silhouette, luckily the chair is not facing the stairs. ~LOL~
Aside from the White Lady, there is little boy who keeps on running inside our house. Most of the time, playing "Peek-A-Boo!". His favorite place is the main door of the house. He will run from inside going out to terrace and once you reached near the door/stairs going up, he will show up as if playing "Peek-A-Boo!" then will vanish as if nothing happened. At first I almost fainted but as time goes by, once I feel him running to the door, I am turning back and will not continue walking to the door, then he will just disappear.
The second-floor of our house is made of wood, bamboo tree is our flooring but the ground-floor and basement is cement. At midnight, seldom but we experienced it quite many times, there are footsteps in the hallway upstairs from last room (window facing the cliff) to the stairs then it will be gone. Footsteps are heavy and seems like having big metal ball shackled to it. We are all ladies in the house and no heavy footsteps as such.
Before my grandfather decided to convert the 4 rooms to 2 big rooms (after hearing our scary stories), the third-room my sister
's room, we keep on seeing a White Lady standing near the window and facing outside. That time, no one's sleeping in that room as ate already left the Philippines. We are just keeping the door open and every time we pass that door, we tend to just run fast and never look inside the room.
I also experienced quite many times closing the window in the living room, then my elder sister will also close it, also my other sister
and lastly our auntie but in the morning, my grandfather is scolding us as the window is open and he is just worried as no man is staying in the house only us. How it happened?!?! Until now, we also don't know!!
But above all those experiences, the worst thing I experienced is seeing a Doppelganger of my grandmother. It was summer and all of us are at sari-sari store chatting and some are playing cards. I love sketching and decided to go inside our house and get my sketchpad. When I went to my room, I hear someone whistling and humming at the last room (4th room). I decided to go there and check, I saw my grandmother standing at the window, facing the cliff and wearing her favorite Malong (traditional tube-skirt).
: Inay, ohh you're there, I thought you are downstairs and playing with them
She didn't answer so I left and just took my sketchpad and went down. Surprisingly I saw my grandmother playing cards with everyone when I went down!!!
: Inay, you're so fast, I just saw you at the last room, now you came first before me.
Inay: Abah! I am not going anywhere, been sitting here for long time now, even you asked them!
: Noway! I saw you there in the last room, standing and humming!!
Told them what I saw and everyone confirmed that my Inay did not go anywhere or even stand up for few minutes and I was left with a question... WHO'S THATTTT!?!?!
When I left Philippines, I thought I will never experience those things again but did not expect that even here in UAE, will experience the same thing.
Feeling of some cold figure passing in front of me or sometimes at my back, a blurry figure staring at me, black-lady crying at the corner of our old flat, footsteps or sometimes hearing the voice of my mom calling me and once I answered and go to my mom, she will just say: I am not calling you
I know these are just peanuts to others' experiences but I don't think what I am feeling and seeing are ordinary. Still it leaves me a question of: AM I GIFTED?!?
Whatever it is, as long as they are not harming me and will just stay friendly, I am fine with it! 😬😬😬
