hello, i dont know if someone will believe me in my story especially the last one but here it goes:

5 years ago i was walking in our village street at around 11 pm, i was going to my friend & watch videos w/ him, along that street (zalamea st.) there are tall light posts, while walking you can see your own shadow in front of the street your walking on if the light post is behind you. a couple of light posts later i just noticed another shadow beside my own, at a very instant i thought there was just another person walking almost near me & the shadow would be casted from the light post behind us, curiously i wanted to look behind me to see who he was (because in our village, the neighbors here knew each other) but when i did, nobody was there, but when i check the shadow beside me, it was clearly still right there. so i did some checking if its a double shadow of my own (coz sometimes the light post on the left side of the street is so bright & could cast another shadow at you besides the light post on the right side of the street). unfortunately, i checked the other shadow if it would originate on my own legs, but the shadow leg has its own origin & not mine! i also checked if the rythmic walking of the other shadow would be similar to mine, but when i stopped walking to see, the other shadow kept on walking. i quickly turned my head to see if someone is playing a joke at me, but there was no one there! when i felt a cold air at the back of my head! i got scared & ran! i ran as fast as i could until i reached my friend's house. i told him about it but he didnt seem to believe me, so i just let it go & spent the night at their house.

Sometime a year after that i had another experience, i was already asleep in my dark bedroom, i thought i was having this dream of someone lightly punching at the side of my right upper thigh. when i woke up because of the weird dream im having, i can still feel the light punch at my thigh, i opened my eyes (but could not see anything because if you turn off the lights inside my room its a full pitch black & even there is no light to be casted from outside my window) & concentrated fully if its just my reflex muscles making these vibrations since i was very exhausted in hiking that day in our hills. But i swear its not my muscles making those reflex vibrations, i can really feel a cold skin while making contact on my thigh, & it felt like a fist! i quickly jumped out of my bed, screaming i even got tripped as i ran out to my room. my sister went out her room to see what was that all about, i told her the story but it seemed she doesnt believe me, so i just went inside her room & spent the night sleeping at her bedroom floor.

Now this is the funny part to read im telling you about in the beginning, but i assure you its all true. 2 years ago i was taking a shower, when i was done, i went to my room to get some clothes to wear, so i have to open my walk-in closet. But when i did, instantly there was a man facing behind me, in a split second when he heard the closet doors open he turned his head at me and demanded in an angry screaming voice "putangina sarado mo ang pinto!!!" (it means "shut the f****ng door!!!" if translated in english) i was so shocked i fell down at my back, still seeing him there standing at an angry face at me, i quckly rose up and ran out of my room & stayed in our front porch until my parents returned from work (i was alone in our house the whole time). Imagine i was so scared i stayed outside our house sitting in a chair wearing nothing but a towel around my waist & waited for 3 hours until my parents arrive. constantly looking through our window to see if there was just a man maybe a robber or thief went inside our house while i was in the shower. but there was no one came out my door! he cant even escaped through my bedroom window because he will defenitely not fit in our fixed window grills. while i was outside i was trying to imagine who would that be, it was so real that i even felt his spit as he screamed right at my face! thinking hard, the person was bald, around almost 50 years of age, looked pale & even looked like ozzy osbourne!!! yes the rocker! i know who ozzy osbourne is but i dont even listen to his music. rock & roll is not my thing.

when my parents finally arrived they asked me why i was outside the house almost naked, i told them my story but they just laughed & didnt believe me. i just let it go. who was that man? i said to myself, we had this house even before i was born! im sure our house is not haunted coz this is the only house we own, we're not living there on rent. so maybe the grounds where our house is sitting is haunted. i dont know, how about you? any thoughts you may email me dragonrower@hotmail.com & sorry for my long story, hoped you wont ignore it. thanks!
