am scared...



Supernatural pertains to entities, forces or powers regarded as beyond nature, in that they cannot be explained from the laws of the natural world. Religious miracles are typical of such “supernatural” manifestations, as are spells and curses, divination, the notion that there is an afterlife for the dead, and innumerable others. Supernatural themes are often associated with magical and occult ideas. Tell me, do you believe in one?

I love watching and listening to scary supernatural and ghost stories. One of my favorite's is

The Bathroom Ghost...

She was a student at the Central Philippine University in 1985. She had two best friends, Marie and Jacky. They were considered “the bad, but cool, girls.”

It wasn’t easy to join their group, nor they were looking for additional members. They just enjoyed their selves being “bad” girls – not the kind that you probably would have in mind. They were still conservative in our unique ways.

Anyways, the said girls frequent the girl’s restroom for a make over, smoke and the usual gossip. One day, on one of their routine smoking sessions, a girl they have never seen before came in and started fixing her hair. She totally ignored them – that was disrespectful! They were furious at her audacity, for no one - and I mean no one - would dare come in the girls' room when they were in there.

They stared at her hard but she, apparently, wasn’t intimidated at all. So Jackie, being the most assertive of them all, nudged her and went with her face close to her cheek. The room became so silent, you could literally hear a pin drop. It was a tense moment and they were all at the edge of our breaths. Then suddenly, the stranger turned her head sharply toward Jackie! Jackie screamed, and that led to a chain reaction of screams from Marie and the other girl as well. Jackie jolted backwards and nearly tripped over.

They stood there in horror! They were thinking if she going to hurt them? They were doomed for all the things they had done against many girls like her? These questions went through their minds equally. They stood there staring at her face which was blue, and her eyes were bloodshot and popped halfway out of the sockets!

It is the most horrendous, most scary thing I have ever heard in my life! I've been scared by sights in the movies but nothing beats this!

After that incident, they stopped using the girls' room as often, and vowed not to bully anyone anymore.

Apparently, others have also seen the “ghost-girl” but only as a reflection in the mirror.

If you like watching supernatural movies then you don't want to miss the 1408 Movie by Stephen King that is coming out to your favorite theaters this June 22.





A little bit about the 1408 Movie

Renowned horror novelist Mike Enslin only believes what he can see with his own two eyes. After a string of bestsellers discrediting paranormal events in the most infamous haunted houses and graveyards around the world, he scoffs at the concept of an afterlife. Enslin's phantom-free run of long and lonely nights is about to change forever when he checks into suite 1408 of the notorious Dolphin Hotel for his latest project, "Ten Nights in Haunted Hotel Rooms." Defying the warnings of the hotel manager, the author is the first person in years to stay in the reputedly haunted room. Another bestseller may be iminent, but like all Stephen King heroes, Enslin must go from skeptic to true believer – and ultimately survive the night.

I am not missing this movie! I love John Cusack, Samuel L. Jackson and Stephen King!
