Ghost Stories.
This happened four years ago, a phone call around 1am in the morning. I was in my room, and he was outside their house, the veranda.
So, this guy I was talking to, suddenly asked if I could hold on for a few minutes cause he has to go outside, just across the street to talk a bit with some friends (that I heard was calling him to go out) and he will just put the phone down -- which I know for sure that he was away cause I was able to hear their voices from afar.
After a minute since he left, background noises went off. I thought he was back so soon, so I asked [i]"Dyan ka na?"[/i], he didn't replied. Then I said [i]"Huy!"[/i] but still I got no response. Few seconds more, background noises was on again and I could recognize his voice from afar. I murmured to myself, [i]"Kala ko andyan na."[/i]
Then I heard someone on the other end. A voice not from afar, but actually on the phone.
A child's laugh. I can't actually explain if it was a laugh or giggle, but it was creepy. Really creepy. Some kind of laugh that you could hear from a Japanese horror movie. I asked [i]"Sino to?"[/i], starting to get the hell out of me. I didn't get an actual response but just the very same tone of giggle.
I asked few questions more, trying to hide the fear, but same thing happened. Same giggle, that freakin creepy giggle.
That moment, I knew for sure that something was happening.
Out of fear, I ended the call.
My phone rang again, but I didn't answered.
Then I got a text message, [i]"Bakit mo binaba? Dito na ko."[/i]
I answered the next call and I asked him full of anger, [i]"Gago ka, pinagtitripan mo ba ko?"[/i]. Even though I know he didn't. Shaking, I told him what happened, he said he doesn't know anything I was talking about and he was totally innocent.
Our conversation went through then he suddenly asked, [i]"Babae ba?"[/i]. I said, [i]"Oo."[/i]
He asked again, [i]"Sa tingin mo ilang taon na?"[/i] I said, [i]"Parang 8 to 9 eh. Basta bata pa, elementary."[/i]
Then he confessed he used to have this "childhood sweetheart" slash [i]"kapitbahay"[/i] who was drowned and died of the same age and itwasn't the first time he was bothered by her.
Ending, I didn't answered his calls since then.
