New tales and folklore from Bicol - Scary tales and new legends

In the heart of Legazpi City, Bicol University, though appearing as a serene haven with its urban-rural charm, conceals a dark underbelly of spine-chilling tales, passed down from generation to generation among BUeños.

One infamous specter haunting the university is the kapre of Cenutry Tree, an ancient acacia tree on the Commencement Grounds. Towering at 12 feet, this hairy creature with dilated eyes was often spotted smoking a tobacco pipe on its branches. Alas, during the wrath of Typhoon Glenda in 2014, its home was cruelly uprooted. Despite the tragedy, locals claim the kapre's shadow still lurks near the Four Pillars, a haunting reminder of its existence.

Within the walls of Building 2 in the College of Science, an 18 to 20-year-old female ghost roams freely. Witnesses tell eerie tales of her presence in mirrors, classrooms, and the computer laboratory. Recently, an IT freshman experienced a paranormal encounter when her computer mysteriously shut down. To her astonishment, her professor revealed that he saw a woman standing beside her, accusing the spectral figure of turning off the computer.

The College of Nursing harbors its own ghostly tales. A former student, using the alias Nightingale's Diadem, shared a bone-chilling experience. A phantom presence opened cubicle doors in the restroom, leading to a series of unsettling events. Another night, a friend claimed to have seen her doppelganger speaking in Spanish, admiring her beauty. The alumni also recounted encounters with the ghosts of a Spanish insular and a distressed young lady seeking help.

The multi-purpose building (MP Building) hosts a myriad of horrors. The 4th floor echoes with the wails of a ghastly baboy ramo, causing students to stumble and fall. The "Pajama Girl," a spectral child in search of playmates, haunts this floor as well, sometimes seen carrying a ball. On the 3rd floor, a haunting tale surrounds the ladies' toilet, haunted by a female ghost who suffered a tragic fate. Students report hearing cries and heavy breathing, with some even claiming to see her reflection in the mirror. The 2nd floor is haunted by a female ghost with long, straight dark hair, gliding along the hallway in white attire.

However, the most infamous room in the MP Building is Room 307. Legend has it that the ghosts of a young girl and boy playfully inhabit the room, giggling, and leaving behind the eerie sound of small footsteps. Students brave enough to enter claim to witness chairs moving by themselves. Whispers of blood-smeared faces or red eyes add an extra layer of horror to this ghostly classroom, with their presence extending to Rooms 312 or 313 on rare occasions. The walls of Bicol University hold stories that chill the bravest souls, weaving a tapestry of fear within its seemingly tranquil campus.
