Have you ever had experience a phenomenon that cannot be explained no matter how you tried to understand it? Are you familiar with the phrase ‘beyond one’s imagination or understanding’? If you have this some sort of experience that makes you feel that hair-raising/eerie or déjà vu feeling, please share through email message to merlinagp@gmail.com.

Unclear Imagination
Months ago, my best friend once shared to me a short-story… “I heard a loud sound outside the window. I checked on it and saw a featherless chicken-faced and human-like creature with big pointed wings, long beak, with a very thin body structure. I was very shocked and with too much fear, I almost cried and immediately ran downstairs”.
It is very popular in movies and even in ghostly tales the story of those creatures called “tiktik”. In the Filipino folklore, these are mythical creatures mostly feared by women carrying a child or is pregnant. It was theorized that the “tiktik” watches over on the roof of a house, extends its long tongue into the pregnant woman’s tummy while she is asleep, takes advantage and starts to eat the baby inside.
I am actually five months pregnant now while telling this tale. It was a very tiring day for me. I went home straight off from work and realized it was seven in the evening already. So, I decided to take some rest first before eating my dinner.
After changing clothes to a more comfortable one, I went directly to bed. It took me minutes to finally get a comfortable sleeping position for my growing belly. I held my tummy, rubbed it for a while because it just feels good. I closed my eyes and started to feel relaxed, fantasizing what could be the gender of my first born and thought how amazing a woman’s body is to be used as a shelter of a growing baby before it fully sees the real world.
I was on the beautiful side of my imagination when and somehow I could not ignore the darker side… I was alone and thought, “Is a tiktik real?” After hearing my best friend’s story about this, I was really curious about it. I started to feel creepy after becoming conscious of the window facing the bed foot.
I calmed myself and decided to just close my eyes and go to sleep. But then, later on, I heard some weird metal roof footsteps, with some unexplained flapping wings and a little sound of a high-pitched voice sounding like a witch on movies. It did last for a couple of seconds which caused me to panic. Luckily, exactly on time, someone opened the door. I am now with my best friend. I almost forgot that she will visit me that day. I told her what happened, and asked her to not leave me alone…
Impossible but it happened to me!

pray every time you go to sleep...
A personal experience of mine that I would love to share would be with a creature called "Aswang" that I happened to have a daily encounter with back in my Highschool days. There would always be a loud thud at the roof every 12am followed shortly by footsteps right above my room. It was a surreal experience and definitely felt out of this world due to the fear that I experienced during the first few times. Over the weeks I got used to it and welcomed it as a daily routine which was very consistent. Encounters with an "Aswang" has always been a prevalent event for my family! Such a shame that most people would never believe it, but nonetheless it is still very real from my experience!
