this happened around 2022-2023ish. —- pls bear with me english isnt my first language. :>>>>

Me and my bf were living at my family’s ancestral home in the Philippines. Our house is around 50 years old at this point and growing up, i’ve heard a loooot of stories and folklores that surrounds our house but never really believed in them until this incident.

Its almost midnight and my boyfriend was already sleeping while i was watching youtube on my phone. Our room is a rectangle room and our bed is facing the windows. My bf was already sleeping soundly while i was watching youtube on the bed while facing against him.

all of a sudden he got mad at me for being too fidgety and said that he woke up because i was tapping his foot, i said to him that i wasnt doing anything and not thinking much of it i just said that maybe he’s dreaming. Ff to me watching for another hour until i fell asleep.

At around 2-4AM i suddenly woke up and i was so confused because i thought i was dreaming. While i was looking around the room i noticed that the right corner of our room was very dark, which was weird because our very flashy internet router was supposed to be there, and now its just pure darkness. I looked up at that corner waiting for my eyes to adjust until i saw a very tall shadow of a man. I was looking at him for almost 10 seconds without blinking and adjudting my eyes if im seeing correct. The shadow of his head is almost at our ceiling. Again, thinking i was dreaming, i brushed it off and went back to sleep.

The following morning my bf was sooo grumpy that he wasn’t able to sleep much last night. I went to the toilet to pee and when i came back to bed i said to him, “you know i had a weird dream last night. I woke up and looked here (me pointing at the corner) and i saw a…” before i could finish he said, “you saw it too? the tall man?”

I had goosebumps because of what he said.

I said to him that i saw it when i woke up in the middle of the night.

He said he saw it when he woke up and got mad at me because he felt tapping on his foot.

He didn’t say anything to me because he didn’t want me to get scared. LOL

needless to say, we called a priest and have him bless our room and the whole house. We didnt have any incidents before and after that.

edit: pls comment related to the supernatural aspect of my story ;> some of yall are mad at my bf for waking up irritated and not saying anything when he saw the thing. i will say it once last time:

• he didnt say anything to me because he knows i get scared easily. he knows me soooo well to know this.
• not because you wake up happy and sunny doesn’t mean everyone does. people have to work early in the morning and they get jumpy when they get woken up suddenly so STOP comparing my bf w/ your own personality/preference.
• AND getting mad when you suddenly wake up doesn’t mean your a bad person. some people are just like that.
• YES ITS THE BARE MINIMUM if ur partner doesn’t hurt you physically, emotionally, and mentally BUT it takes a deeper understanding of each other to know what you like and dont like. so, pls stop judging us based on this one incident we had. we are happy and we respect each other. it just hurts me that people talk like that w/o knowing us personally. so pls, stop :)
