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.
