UNIVERSITY ASWANG STORIES
ADAMSON UNIVERSITY
A girl was by the sink washing her face when she looked in the mirror, and saw the drops of water on her face not as what they really are but as drop of blood. And at her back, there was a headless man in soldier’s uniform. Every year, students would encounter various but similarly scary experiences in that toilet. According to my research, the St. Vincent de Paul building, where the toilet is, is the oldest building of Adamson University and was used as an execution station by the Japanese army during World War II. Rumor has it that countless number of heads had been chopped off in the toilet itself.
ATENEO DE MANILA UNIVERSITY
Sacred Heart Novitiate: The story of the “stairs” is one that forces retreat-goers to go around ! in the “safety” of groups. Legend has it that late one night, a group of students went downstairs to go “exploring” after the others had gone to sleep. The frightening thing was that no matter how long They kept going down the flights of stairs from the 3rd floor dorm hall they occupied, they could not seem to find the ground floor landing. Even more sinister was that they kept passing the same eerie painting of Christ at each floor landing, over and over again.
COLLEGE OF SAINT BENILDE
It happened few years ago in College of Saint Benilde. In an early morning class, a girl in black dress entered room M-409 where a class was ongoing.The class didn’t mind the girl thinking that she was only sitting in. Suddenly! , in the middle of the teacher’s lecture, the girl stood up, walked towards the front wall and, to the awe of everyone, vanished. Until now that ghost story still scares students who take classes in the saidroom.
DE LA SALLE UNIVERSITY
One day last February, even before the 7am classes started, a young Accounting sophomore decided to drop by the St. La Salle Chapel to say a quick prayer for her accounting exam. She reached the empty chapel, went to the very first pew, knelt down, and with eyes shut, began to pray. A few minutes later, she heard a shuffling sound and frantic footsteps. The student opened her eyes and saw a limping, pale-faced man reaching out towards her, his torn clothes covered in blood, a bayonet sticking in his chest and mouthing the words “Help me…”

Education Hall and Building (EHB) is like, the oldest and creepiest building in PIYU. There was this one time a guy was taking a leak dun sa comfort room. If my memory serves me right dun yun sa c.r. sa bandang 5th floor… basta mataas (EHB has 8 floors kasi)… So the guy was using one of the urinals which were all next to each other tas ung mga cubicles na… He was really annoyed by this sound coming from the farthest cubicle… parang iniiscratch ng nails yung wooden cubicle door so nakakangilo nga naman… He tried to finish peeing though the sound was really irritating… after he was done, he went to the cubicle to check it out kasi parang nawala yung sounds and he noticed that hindi nakalock yung cubicle and it was slightly open… He moved closer in curiosity but because natatakot na rin cia, he used his foot to push the door further open and when he took a look at what’s inside… A girl in white na nagsusumiksik sa tabi ng toilet bowl with bleeding fingers and unearthly big and tired eyes was looking blankly at him as in nakatitig… she wasn’t even blinking and she looked like she was in total shock na naistorbo cia… the guy rushed out of the place and napaiyak sa takot…

Red Eyes. Benitez Hall, which houses the College of Education, is considered the most haunted building in the campus (the oldest as well) It used to be one of the Japanese interrogation camps during World War II that’s why many Filipino and American soldiers died there. One very rainy afternoon, a female instructor got stranded in front of the Education Building. As such, she begged the security guard to let her pass the night in the building. The guard agreed and locked her up in one of the classrooms. It was a restless night for the lady. She knew the ghost stories but refused to believe them. In the classroom was a door with a peeping hole. Curious at what was going on outside, she peeped and saw nothing but the color red. The next morning, she asked the security guard if the ghost stories are true. “Yes Ma’am, it is,” answered the man. “One of the ghosts sighted is in fact seen as dressed in white and with big RED EYES.”

The following day, I learned that they were able to talk to “Puti,” a young and playful kid who was shot in the middle of an encounter during the war.
