Hello hivers. Hope everyone is good. It's trick or treat. I have un unforgettable experienced before that still hunts me to this day. I worked in a mini grocery before when I was nineteen and met this co worker whom I became friends with. It all started when one of our co worker teased her. He took her pony tail and pass it to one more friend, they keep tossing it that makes her run to get it. We were busy inside ( they are outside) until we heard people screaming. There's a lot of people passing by since its in the market and have a lot of shops nearby. When I look outside I saw my friend with her eyes lighting in anger, screaming and chasing our co worker.
Everyone is stunned and running away from her. One of the lady shop owner came and hold her and ask what's happening to her. She didn't say a word and just fainted.
They carried her inside the store and we revive her. After that she started acting strange. Screaming and spitting on us. The lady shop owner that help her before said she was being possessed. She said she have seen this kind of act because her husband is an albularyo. Albularyo in my country is our term for witch doctor or faith healer. Mostly albularyos use herbs and other substances in their healing practices. In most cases they will also employ various prayers, chants and supernatural cures especially for cases involving supernatural powers. They have the ability to cast out evil spirits.
She called her husband to come while our male co workers trying to subdued my friend. When the albularyo came, my friend acted like a mad man. She's saying words we cannot understand. The albularyo took out a matches from his bag and lit one. He pressed it between my friend toes and ask whoever possessing her body to leave right away. My friend keep on fighting but I saw it weakens her. Her body is twisting and ain't quite normal. She kept spitting on him in return. After 2nd attempt to cast away that supernatural power and still fail, the albularyo suddenly look up. (People gathered around our store that time). Curiosity and fear written on everyone's face. Suddenly the albularyo point to one lady. She's a bit older and standing there looking on us. He told her. I was wondering why I cannot cast the spirit away, its because you are here. Can you please leave her alone now? All eyes are fixed on the lady. She didn't say a word, just nodded and walk away. I watch her go and if I was brave enough that time I want to follow her. She disappeared from the crowd and my friend went back to normal. Strange enough she don't have any burn from the matches that was lit and pressed in between her toes. The albularyo said evil sprits are scared of gunpowder or chemical found in matches. And that my friend wouldn't get any burn from it. When I ask him about the lady, he said that is not its true form. Just a disguise to fool and trick everyone.
It just didn't end there. Theres so much more of that story but I think it's way too long to narrate all at once.
As I was writing this, I felt the fear I had that time and feel like theres someone looking at mešš«.
That's all for today guys. See you aroundā„ļø
