Real Ghost Stories
THE GLOWING APPARITION OF MARIALUISA By RICHARD J OHANLON
This is the account by two small filipino boys of the "glowing
apparition" which both of then had witnessed just after sunset when
the two boys were playing on the pathway which lead down into that
mysterious Sacrifice Valley. It was about 6:00PM as the tropical
sun had just set. Seven year old Jun Bastidas along with his older
brother Emanuel were playing hide in seek on that open area where
the pathway leading to Sacrifice Valley began. Jun & his older brother
were celebrating their last day of school as summer vacation had
just begun for them earlier that day. Jun told his brother in Tagalog
to cover up his face while he would run and hide. Emanuel ran over
to the nearest tree and covered his face and counted to ten while
Jun ran off to hide. He decided to make this a little more of a
challenging search for his brother as he decided to go a little
ways down the pathway where he would hide amongst the tall elephant
leaves. He carefully walked down over the rocky steps and hid off in the thickest patch of leaves and grasses. Yelling
"ready" Emanuel started looking for him. When he could not find
his little brother crouching down anywhere near the thatched roofed
picnic huts, he then walked over to where the pathway began. By
now the sun had long set and it was getting dark quickly in the
jungle. Emanuel kept looking in and around the trees, the bushes,
and in through the tall elephant grasses but he still could not
find his younger brother. Meanwhile Jun was crouched down on his
stomach in a thick grove of elephant & banana leaves which from
where he was crouching down, he could see deeper down into the jungle.
It was very dark where he was looking. Jun continued to crouch down
while his brother walked by a few times as he continued to search
for him but then when Jun looked up again to see if his brother
was anywhere nearby, his eyes then caught sight of something way
off down in the jungle towards Sacrifice Valley. It appeared to be a strange white cloud of light. Being just a little boy he first thought that it was some of his other playmates who may have been
down deeper in the jungle and so he kept hiding away from Emanuel
as he again walked by but still did not see him. Jun then looked
again at this white light which shined with a strange glow from
further down inthe jungles and it seemed to be moving slowly. Getting
curious now, Jun stood up as his older brother saw him and said
"Ha I found you! but emanuel immediately saw that Jun was interested
in something he was seeing off in the distance. He asked, "Ano ang
light a doon na sa jungle? Jun what is that light you are looking
at off in the jungle?" Hinde ko alam ( I dont know but I'm interested
to see just what it is because no one is supposed to be down here
after dark. Siguena Its probably just fireflies or something. Hinde
No its not fireflies, its something else. Lets get a closer look.
" Both boys then slowly walked down the pathway as they approached
the light. It seemed to be just standing there still. Then when they had gotten closer to it, both boys could not believe
their eyes! For there stood a beautiful young filipina lady dressed
in a long white mariaclara gown! She had a bouquet of bulaklak flowers
affixed to the side of her head( much like a Hawaiian girl) only
more beautiful! Both boys then saw that her eyes shined just like
the brightest stars in the night sky! She had long thick black hair
which extended all the way down to her waist, She then saw us looking
at her and she held out both her arms as if she wanted us to come
up to her and give her a hug but then we both could see that tears
were streaming down her face. She was crying! Suddenly she disappeared
into that cloud of white light which then disappeared into the darkness
of the jungle. We were now frightened by what we had seen and ran
home as we thought that someone was coming to take us away to Heaven.
Sesabeko sa nanay at sa tatay ng vision a doon sa Sacrifice Valley(When we told both our mother & fa!
ther of what we had seen down there in Sacrifice Valley, they did not laugh at us but rather they both ran to the "Eye of God
along with the Santo Nino and lit a candle and fell down on our
knees and prayed. We were told that an angel had appeared to us.
From then on, we were too afraid to go back to that pathway again after sunset.
