2. The Medical Student
A group of medical students decided to play a harmless prank on their easily frightened classmate. They planned a special study session to be held in the cadaver room with their intended victim. When the girl arrived for the session and found no one in the room, she thought she was too early and decided to read her notes. The rest of the group mates were actually hiding and they switched the lights off. The girl screamed and screamed to no avail and then all of a sudden she stopped. After a while, the pranksters began to wonder what had happened. Upon turning the lights on, they were shocked to see their hapless classmate gnawing on a piece of the cadaver.
3. The Manila Film Center Tragedy
It all started with Francis Ford Coppola and Peter Weir. Both had films about to direct and chose the Philippines to stand in for Vietnam and Indonesia, respectively. Having tasted a bit of Hollywood, Imelda had the grandiose notion to turn Manila into the Cannes of the Pacipic by starting an internatioanl film festival. In order to do so, she required a suitable venue for her envisioned Manila International Film Festival (MIFF).
Having set a date of January 18. 1982 for the start of the festival. Imelda needed to get starting on building her newest adifice. For her last major project at the Cultural Center of the Philippines, she passed over Leandro Locsin and chose architect Froilan Hong.
The tragedy struck on November 17, 1981, shortly before 3:00 am when the scaffolding for part os the second basement collapsed and burying an unknown number of the graveyar shift workers in the quick drying cement. Imelda believed in 24-hour labor.
In her rush to complete the project in time for the MIFF, Imelda order that fresh concrete be poured over the dead workers and construction continue.
7,000 labourers working round the clock between Christmas day 1981 and January 18, 1982 got the Center built with 15 minutes to spare.
So, are the ghost of the trapped workers real or just a myth?
Wait up for the next entry. But for now, were...
