EXCLUSIVE! Stars and their eerie experiences

Published Oct 29, 2022 11:07 am

Celebrities are like most common folk.

They get scared, too.

And not just with some know-it-all social media hater.

We're talking creepy, ghostly brushes with the unknown.

Bulletin Entertainment recently sat down with some personalities who eagerly shared their most unforgettable experiences.

Carla Abellana

The 36-year-old Kapuso lived in an old house as a kid and she remembers many unexplained encounters there.

"Iba-iba. From sounds or nakikita, nararamdaman or na-a-amoy," Carla related.

At one point, the young Carla actually woke up in the middle of night hearing someone crying nearby.

But she was alone.

"Yung bed ko po at that time katabi ng window. So dun po sa window, sa labas ng window may umuungol, may umiiyak."

She was sure it wasn't just a cat in heat.

"Alam ko pa naman po ang sound ng ganun," she maintained.

So, what was it? Who knows? The ghost of things to come?

Matt Lozano

The singer-actor thinks he is a magnet of sorts for these things.

He remembers his mom telling him how, as a young boy, he used to see "little people" and how they would usually follow him around.

But the scariest was his encounter with a ghostly voice that denied him sleep.

"High school pa lang ako that time...One night nagising ako around 3 am. Sabi ko may pasok ako kinabukasan kaya pinilit ko ulit matulog. Pagpikit ko bigla na lang may voice sa left ear ko na bumubulong sa akin na sinasabi na 'Andito ako, andito ako, andito ako.' Paulit-ulit...pakiramdam ko merong nakaupo du'n sa bed ko. Parang lumubog kasi yung side ng bed ko e. Pero nakaharap ako sa wall. Tapos biglang maya-maya after siguro mga 15 minutes hindi pa rin ako makatulog. Biglang may pumalit na boses, babae naman. 'Nandito ako, nandito ako.' Bumubulong."

No, it wasn't the maid.

In any case, to this day, Matt still sees "things."

"Hindi kasi ako nakakakita ng diretsyo palaging peripheral. Merong one time nag a-iPad ako mag-isa, nagugulat ako parang may sumisilip - ganun - sa door. Ta's 'pag tinitingnan ko wala naman. Palaging nangyayari so medyo nakaka-bother."

Will Ashley

The actor believes he is like the kid from "The Sixth Sense."

"Nakakikita po talaga ako," he maintained. "Maramig akong nakikita na ghost."

Then he shared some of them.

"Sa dati naming tinitirhan meron akong nakitang nagtatakbuhang dalawang bata - 'yung isa maikli buhok, tas yung isa kalbo. Takbuhan sila. Pa-ikot-ikot. Tapos mag-stop sila saglit. Titingin sila sa akin."

Will also shared seeing a man getting impaled via iron railings.

"Nung pagtalon niya nakita ko talaga, malinaw, tumusok siya du'n. Alam kong parang ghost lang... Tapos kinabukasan nag-basketball ako, meron silang pinaguusapan na tao nga daw. Mga two years ago na ganu'n, magnanakaw daw siya na tumalon du'n tapos natusok siya. Tapos yun namatay nga siya..."

His advice to others like him? Just let these beings be.

"As long as wala namang ginagawang bad sayo and wala kang ginagawang mabubulabog mo sila, wala naman silang gagawing bad sayo."

Sofia Andres

She is not only beautiful, she also has powers.

According to Sofia, she can read people's "aura."

She senses someone's personality even without getting to know them.

Beyond that, she has a "third eye."

She could see "entities" even as a kid.

The most memorable is that of a headless priest.

"Alam niyo po 'yung pari na naka-color brown tas parang may tali na black... Wala siyang ulo, hawak niya 'yung ulo niya."

At this point though, Sofia has since learned how to handle her abilities so she could, more or less, function normally.

"Before po hindi, before po parang gusto ko pong mag-suicide," she said. "Parang I feel crazy, parang it's not normal."

Vhong Navarro

The TV host-comedian who once played the role of Mang Kepweng, shared a weird experience concerning three "albularios" and a "girl."

He related, “One time ang sakit sakit ng tiyan ko. May nag-suggest lang na pumunta daw kami sa isang albulario. Sumunod naman ako. Ang sabi sa amin nung albulario, napaglaruan daw ako ng isang babae. Dinescribe pa sakin ‘yung babae. Eh hindi ka naman siyempre basta maniniwala ‘diba? So, lumapit pa kami sa isang albulario. At isa pa. Pare-pareho ang sinabi. Sabi nila mag-offer daw ako ng pagkain dun sa babae. Ginawa ko naman. Pero walang nangyari. Lalo pa sumakit ang tiyan ko. After a few days, I decided na magpunta na lang sa ospital, ang diagnosis may hepa(titis) ako. So ‘yun. Ewan ko kung maniniwala ako o hindi pero ‘yun ang experience ko.”

Well...
