June 2012. It’s my first month on my first job. I was new to all the people.
One afternoon, I was busy doing my stuff at the office. All of a sudden, a tall, thin guy wearing white uniform passed through my area going to the cubicle of my boss. My table was just along the way going to my boss’ cubicle. I certainly saw him and asked him “Ano po gagawin nyo dyan?”. He didn’t respond. I heard the printer being opened. So then I assumed that he was fixing it. I then thought of checking on him. I was shocked. No one was there. My boss’ cubicle was all bare and no one was fixing the printer. I didn’t saw anyone leave the area. It gave me goosebumps.
I stepped out our area to ask the people from the Admin Division if they saw someone entering our area. No one noticed anyone entering or leaving the area. I described the guy I saw to them. They started giving names of MIS personnel and I started looking for the unknown guy. Of all the names and people from MIS, no one matched the guy I described. Then, one of my officemates, out of curiosity showed a picture of a former employee. And I told them “Siya yung nakita ko, Asan na ba sya?”. His name was CJ. I was shocked to find out that he died already for more than two years on the same month I saw him. My knees started shaking. I started thinking, maybe CJ just wanted his former officemates to remember him, remember the day he died.
Absolutely, this moment was one of my creepiest close encounter. Sounds odd? Impossible but it happened to me!"
