The White Lady

Growing up, I have heard a lot of stories about multo or ghosts. Honestly speaking, most of the stories scared the living crap out of me. The most common story that the grown-ups usually tell me, is the legend of the White Lady.

Sometimes I come to think that I have already seen such entity, but most of the times I just choose to ignore it and it’s just a product of my imagination. But I still want to experience an encounter with the white lady. I bet that would be a heart-pounding situation. Anyways, let’s go back to the topic. HAHA

A white lady is a female ghost in rural areas with a local tale of tragedy. The tale of the white lady can be heard from different parts of the world, and it can also be heard in different parts of the Philippines. Some of them haunt old abandoned houses, buildings, bridges, rivers, and many more. But the most popular haunting ground of the white lady is the Balete Tree or the Balete Drive; it is located between Aurora Boulevard and a few blocks from Gilmore Avenue.

 It is believed that the apparition is one of the reasons for some road accidents in the Balete Drive. Some believe that the reason why she randomly appears to driving vehicles is because she’s out to get revenge, but some says that she’s just asking for some help. But there are a lot of variations to the story, through the years people kept on altering the story, adding details to it to make it even scarier. No one really knows the real version of the story or if there was ever a real story behind it.

So if this made you curious whether this is a hoax or not try finding it out and tell me how it went. J
