I just want to share an incident that happened four or five years ago in the same university in my first story. One of our faculty, Ms. Fe and my classmate itself, who experienced this occurrence, told this story. There stories were somewhat related.
This classmate of mine was a laboratory assistant in Typing Room 5. One Saturday afternoon, while cleaning the monitors, she noticed a reflection in the glass filter. She didn't feel any fear that time yet. The reflected image was of a woman wearing a polka-dot dress standing behind her. In her mind, she was wondering why she had company and who would dare to be wearing an old-style polka-dot dress in the school. And suddenly, she remembered that she locked the door before she started her cleaning. Just then, her body went cold and in that instant was so scared to death. It took so much courage to turn and look to see who it was. When she turned her head, to her surprise, no one was there. She thought it might be just her imagination but she looked again at the monitor. As fast as she could, she ran out of the lab without looking back, crying. She went straight to their cubicle and told her colleagues everything that happened. The reason why she ran out of the lab was because when she looked again to the monitor, the woman in polka-dot was still there.
Again, it was Saturday. According to Ms. Fe, Ms. Ro, the professor, was in charge of putting up the board for the upcoming exhibit of their department in the lobby. Together with her students from different blocks, they started their work. I couldn't remember if they started morning, or if it was afternoon, but everybody noticed this certain girl during break time. Ms. Ro provided each student a stab in their classroom for their snacks on that day. After everyone had their snacks, this certain girl approached Ms. Ro for her share without her stab. Ms. Ro asked for it and the girl answered she didn't have any.
As described by Ms. Ro, the girl was wearing an old-style polka-dot dress. Her voice seemed like so distant and her eyes were so deep and lifeless. Everyone's attention was now on the girl, who couldn't look at Ms. Ro directly and kept her head down. Ms. Ro interrogated the girl and asked her name and schedule. The girl answered back with a Maria B. (not her real name) and that she was a classmate of Ms. Ro's 2:30 pm-4 pm students in Typing Room 5 while pointing to a group of students. Those students were the 2:30 - 4 class and immediately they reacted upon hearing the girl's statements. They denied it and that they didn't know her and just met her that day.
Since they still had work to be done, Ms. Ro told the students to get back to their respective assignments and Maria did really helped putting those pamphlets together. Soon they were done and everybody was ready to go home. They went outside the university together including Maria. Just when they crossed the other side of the street, Maria just disappeared and was no where to be found.
Monday came. Ms. Ro told some of the other faculty about the strange encounter. So, Ms. F helped in searching information about Maria. They went to the Registrar's Office to look for Maria's records. Yes, they have her files and to their surprise, her face that Ms. Ro saw and her file's photo had a slight difference. They also found out that Maria graduated in 1998, I think, and was a transferee, so they went to her previous school. There, the file's photo was the same person Ms. Ro saw. I think the file dated 1993. They also got her address and visited it. At the address, everyone living there had the same surname as Maria, but they didn't know someone or a relative with the name Maria.
They came up with a conclusion that Maria was already dead since they haven't seen her ever again, even Ms. Ro. They just offered some prayers and mass for her soul to rest with our Creator.
