Baby Story

One cold night while i was brushing my teeth outside the house, my cousin came up to me and told me to hurry up because it's late night and there maybe things that will surprise me while I'm outside. I was terrified so I hurried up and went inside.

When we were about to sleep, i ask her about what she meant on what she said a while ago. And here is what she told me:

     "There was a pregnant woman who stays somewhere near our town. She was good and loved by everyone, without knowing that someone was very envy of her. One night while the woman was walking home, she was murdered along with her baby in the womb. Later on the next day, her body was found and everyone in their place were in search of the murderer but they were all in vain.

     "The family was mad that they want revenge. So, on the burial day, one of the sisters of the woman put 5 black chicken on her coffin and some black roses and handkerchief. Nobody knows what it was about but they where a bit confused why it was there because for sure it mean something.

     "Days passed since the death and burial of the woman. Suddenly, stories broke out in their place that every night there is a baby crying somewhere in the streets. Soon the story got worst because "habal-habal' drivers said that every time they travel at night, someone will suddenly ride on their backs and it was like screaming and crying like a baby and when they look on their side mirror, they will see a freaky, scary looking child with all those fangy-teeth. And that's the reason why they don't travel at night anymore.

     "For almost a month, that story went through and the grieved family felt bad. One of the sisters went to the grave and prayed for peace on her dead sister. Days go on and the story subsided but they were still not so sure if it was already over."

After that story, I prayed to God that I won't have a nightmare and then I went to sleep.

Girl with the Scar

It is long been told in our place that there is a girl named Maria Tigbas. She was named like that because she has a scar in her face that was "tigbas" by his husband long ago.

It started when she was working as a nurse in London. After some time, she went back to the Philippines acting suddenly so strange. When his husband left her with their children for work, Maria did something horrible. Deep in the night, she sneak into her children's room and killed them. Worst of all is that, she even cooked and ate them, some of it, she put in the refrigerator.

When his husband came home the next day, he was shock why the house was so silent and he couldn't hear his son's and daughter's laughter or talks. In he goes and found Maria in the dinning table with all those preparations set for him. He ask where she get those tasty looking food and where are there children. Maria hesitated to answer. She ran away from her husband and looked so afraid. Her husband became so confused until he found his children's clothing at the kitchen. He ask Maria again and so she answered that it was their children that she cooked. Her husband got so angry and mad, so he took the ax in their backyard which was placed in the kitchen door and ran to his wife to kill her. She was able to escape but her husband hit her on the face, which lived a mark until her last life.

She travel from place to place but no one helped her because many knew about what she is because her husband was able to spread the news to the near places. Until she starved to death and was never found.

*This is a myth....A story told to us by our friends and family to prevent us from strolling at night in the town.
