Manila Film Center

The construction of the Manila Film Center was rushed to accommodate a film fest to be held on 1981. Engineers have overlooked the design and the structure collapsed when more than half of the infrastructure was already built. Less than 100 bodies were buried under the rubble.
It was believed that Imelda Marcos was so determined to beat the deadline that she did not want the bodies to be removed for it would take time. Instead, the bodies were buried by cement. A spirit quest, led by Tony Perez was also held in the area to free the disturbed spirits. Further evidences, though, proved that the bodies were exhumed from the rubble right after the accident.

Ozone Disco, Quezon City

.

In March 1996, Ozone Disco burned and more than 200 human bodies were charred. Faulty wiring was the culprit, the lack of fire exit and other standard safety measures made things worse.
Since then, residents from nearby areas report hearing screams of people coming from the former disco house.

Corregidor Island
.

Corregidor Island was one of the last lines of defense of the Philippines during the Second World War. The Japanese tore most infrastructures there.
Today, the island serves as a reminder of the Filipinos held their ground against the Japanese. Tourists from all over the world visit the island annually.
There are several reported activities heard by tourists who pass by the hospital ruins. They hear footsteps, rumblings of normal hospital activities, and wails of people. Shouts of people grimacing in pain can be heard around the bunker area. Similar sounds can also be hear inside the Malinta Tunnel – said to be the hiding area of hundreds of soldiers back then.

The school is more than three centuries old. It is rich in history, artifacts, and ghost stories, as well. It has withstood the ravages of war and modernization.

Central Philippine University, Iloilo City
American Missionaries founded Central Philippine University. During the Second World War, the Japanese forces brutally killed numerous foreign missionaries. The place became a makeshift brothel where the animalistic Japanese soldiers sodomized Filipinas.
Up to this day, cries and moans of poor victims are often heard at night. In the school’s football field a female ghost is said to join joggers in their exercise. The ghost is reported to strike up a conversation to fellow joggers, but will disappear once the person looks away.
The school’s Ruby Hall has several classrooms. Roving guards report that there are occasions that one of the rooms opens its lights without anybody switching it on. The guards have reported seeing silhouettes of elementals running around the classroom.
The next is Valentine Hall, named after Rev. Valentine, who was beheaded during the Second World War. The headless ghost of Rev. Valentine manifests on random nights.
In the same place, a ghost of a female student is said to haunt the women’s restroom – several female students since the early 70's have reported seeing her. The ghost usually manifests herself during lunchtime. She appears behind them while they are looking in the mirror. Classes have been interrupted because of screams from those who have seen the ghost!

Diplomat Hotel, Baguio City

.

The Diplomat Hotel in Baguio has a rich history. It used to be a seminary during the Spanish Occupation. During World War 2, several priests and nuns were brutally murdered by the Japanese – some of the victims were even beheaded! After World War 2, the seminary was sold and the infrastructure was converted into a hotel. Perhaps to cut the costs, the hotel owners decided to retain the original structure and old fixture. Dimly lit big rooms with king sized beds and a bible at the side table are some ingredients that make Diplomat Hotel creepy. Clerks, bellboys, and hotel guests, often complain of hearing someone wailing. The wails seem to emanate from different walls. The wails have different pitches, too. To make matters worse, the wailing sound can be heard even during daytime! Various stories of apparitions of a headless priest roaming the corridors and a silhouette carrying a head on a platter are shared and corroborated by guests from different parts of the world.
