Sanlang Tira

First of all, I want to take this opportunity to share with you guys my story.

It's quiet a bit long and I apologize for it. I just want to share every detail of it.

My cousin's family (wife and two kids) had just moved to this newly renovated house that he got from his co-seaman as "Sanlang Tira" last Feb.20, 2011. Since my cousin is still on a vessel abroad, me and his younger brother and some cousins decided to help his wife on the first day of the " Lipat Bahay ".

At around 6PM we decided to wrap things up and call it the day since we are very much tired and hungry. We gathered outside and have a BBQ and a little beer to refresh us and from there we took our first dinner on their new house.

While eating and having some fun all of a sudden we were all stunned to hear a very loud

Noise from one of the rooms up stairs. The loud noise is like something had dropped from above causing a very loud bang! We all went up stairs to check. Then we found that this large and heavy wooden cabinet fell down that it looks like somebody had intentionally and angrily knocked it over. We're a bit alarmed to find that out so what we do is we check every room and space inside the new house suspecting that there was an intruder and not thinking of any unexplained things. So we found everything is clear.

As day pass by, my cousin's wife often call us to stay with them in their new home since she and her kids are experiencing some unexplained things. At first her In-Laws decided to accompany them for sometime. Then a week after, I just learned that my cousin's wife decided to stay with her family instead and left the said house since she is very much frightened. According to her she often felt and sees something out of the ordinary.

We then advised her to have the new house blessed and so she did. Then she again moved into the house right after the blessing and this time since there are 4 bedrooms in the house several of us and her In-Laws decided to temporarily accompany the family. This was also been requested by my cousin from abroad which is her husband.

By that time, nothing strange happened so some of us decided to go back into our own home. We all came from different houses just a few blocks from where she lived.

Her In-Laws (Mother and Sister) are the one's who stay with them.

Then last March 20th by the time I got home from work I again learned that my cousin's family left the house again since according to them strange things occurred again and they are really scared and they decided to just rent another house.

Since that there was an investment on that house, my cousin asked us a favor to have somebody to stay and live in the house temporarily until he figured out what to do since he will be coming home for a vacation this coming June. He convinced his younger brother and some of his cousins to stay in the house provided that they will be given P 100 each per day including daily food allowance just to have somebody that could be trusted to look after the house.

Then everything seems to be going normal since every time I talk with my cousins they never mentioned anything scary but indeed they felt something strange. So what I did is every time I have a free time after work or during day-off I stop by the house and have a beer with them. But during those times nothing special happens.

Then yesterday, yes! Just yesterday April 12, 2011. I decided to have a lunch there together with my cousins. I bought several kilos of pork liempo and fish for grilling and of course some beers to lighten up the noon. After our lunch at around 2 in the afternoon we all decided to take a nap. I found a perfect spot at their backyard where there was this " Papag " and of course a perfect shade and normal breeze and immediately I fall asleep.

All of a sudden I woke up to this horrifying dream that I haven't experience for my entire life. I dream or have what we called " Bangungot" wherein there was this lady although I have not seen her face but I can clearly identify that she is a lady.

She sits on top of my chest causing me to have difficulty breathing and then cover my face and choking me using a heavy blanket. I fought myself to wake up from that dream and when I came to my senses and totally woke up. I was shouting, grasping, heavily breathing and full of sweat. Then some of my cousins came to me and asked what happened so I did told them and I was scared as hell and I was nearly in tears. Then what really scared me most is that I found the heavy blanket just besides me and we all can not explain where that blanket came from in the first place. Right after that I go straight home.
