2. 13 Haunted Places in
the Philippines

3. Scattered among the beautiful
attractions of Philippines are
these terrifying haunts no sane person
would ever venture into. But are you brave
enough? Brace yourself for
strange temperature shifts, unexplainable
wails, and possibly a shadow of a white-
veiled lady staring down at you…

4. 1. Balete DriveThis famous two-lane street in Quezon City is
believed to be the haunted by a white-veiled
lady who frequents the site. The tree-lined road
adds an eerie feeling, as if something will
appear in front of you at any time. It was told
that the white-veiled lady is the ghost of a girl
who died in a car accident in the area when she
lost her way, which is why she has been trying to
hitch a ride and find her way home. Other
stories indicated that it is the ghost of a young
lady who died in the Spanish era. Rumors or
not, you better not drive by Balete Drive alone.

5. 2. Ozone Disco
• In March 18, 1996, a fire broke out in this disco in Quezon City. The fire
claimed the lives of more than a hundred people. Most of the victims were
graduating students from the universities in the city. Due to the faulty
club emergency exit, a lot of the partygoers were trapped and died from
suffocation and burns. Right now, Ozone Disco is already a closed and
abandoned establishment, but there have been numerous reports of
strange activity occurring in the vicinity at night, such as faint disco lights,
sounds, and silhouettes of clubbers dancing through the late hours.

6. 4. Bahay na Pula
Just less than two hours from Manila is the Bahay na Pula,
located in San Ildefonso in the province of Bulacan. It is a house
that cannot be missed due to its proximity to the highway. Bahay
na Pula, or The Red House, got its name from the hue that it
exudes, which is as red as blood and rust. The house transports
you to a location that you only see in classic horror films. It is
considered as one of the tourist destinations in Central Luzon for
ghost hunters, and its distinct feature cannot go unnoticed. It is
believed that this ancestral house was the place where women
were held captive during the Japanese era and where they
eventually died during their stay. Some guerillas are also
tortured and burned here. This is the reason why some visitors
believe that the red hue of the house might be the blood that
flowed within the vicinity, tainting it forever. Wailing sounds,
screams, and temperature shifts, as well as the ghastly feeling of
someone looking from behind your back, are some of the most
commonly shared experiences.

7. 5. Balay Negrense
• Balay Negrense is an ancestral house
located in the province of Negros
Occidental. It was the home of a sugar
baron, and it showcases several rooms
for his twelve children. It has been
maintained until now, serving as a
tourist destination and a museum at
the same time. What makes it scary is
the way the rooms have been
preserved, as if someone is still using
them until now. There are rooms that
have mirrors, and looking at these
mirrors will give you a feeling that
someone might appear at any time.

8. 6. Clark Air Base Hospital
Hospitals are known to be generally scary,
considering that many people do die here.
However, this abandoned hospital in Clark
Air Base is noted as one, if not the scariest
abandoned hospital in the country.
Featured in a National Geographic
documentary in 2013, hundreds of stories
have been associated with this medical
complex because of its history and the
spine-tingling vibe that you feel the
moment you enter the premises. Visiting
this place during the day is already scary
enough, imagine the haunting feeling
after dusk.

9. 7. Diplomat Hotel
• The northern city of Baguio
has its own fair share of
haunted destinations. The
Diplomat Hotel is one of the
most publicized scary places
in the City of Pines. Known to
be infested with ghosts and a
hub of supernatural activity,
you must prepare yourself for
a hair-raising encounter if
you dare to visit this
abandoned hotel.

10. 8. Laperal House
Another haunted site in Baguio City is the
Laperal House. Built in 1920, the Laperal
House was turned over to another owner
after the death of the head of the Laperal
Clan. Prior to the transfer of ownership,
the house has been the silent witness to
brutal killings, rape, and violence. Just like
the Bahay na Pula, it served as a den for
the Japanese forces during the war. The
bloodcurdling screams and the dreadful
stillness cemented the reputation of this
house as one of the scariest in the country.

11. 9. Teacher’s Camp
The Teacher’s Camp in Baguio City is still
functional until now, serving as the
accommodation of choice for teacher
training and other corporate
engagements. The cottages and rooms
here have been reported to be haunted,
and a lot of horror stories had spread
through word-of-mouth. Footsteps late at
night, faint wailing, and unusual
shadows have been some of the common
things that can be experienced here. If
you choose this as a place to stay for the
night, I’m not sure if you can have a

12. 10. Malinta Tunnel
• The historic Corregidor hosts some of
the most haunted places in the
Philippines. Thanks to its bloody
history that stretches through the
World War II, some of the places here
managed to fill up the spots in the most
scariest places in the world. The
Malinta Tunnel is one of the eeriest
places in the island. Like any other
tunnels that can give you an uneasy
feeling of being confined, this tunnel is
one of the places in the island where
lots of soldiers died. Shadows,
unexplainable noises, and even sudden
draft as well as temperature changes
have been reported to manifest here.

13. 11. Hospital Ruins – Corregidor
We continue our list with another
abandoned hospital, this time in Corregidor
Island. There are a lot of images available on
the internet that can give you the chills just
by looking at them, you can just imagine
being there yourself. The worn and damaged
walls that separate the areas of the hospital
will keep your heart racing because you don’t
have any idea about what is waiting for you
on the other side. This has been the refuge of
wounded soldiers, many of whom
unfortunately perished. There are also added
stories in recent history that the ruins have
become the quarters of specially trained

14. 12. Maanghit Cave
Maanghit Cave got its name from the smell of
the accumulated bat droppings inside the
cave – we leave it to your imagination.
Located in the province of Antique in the
Central Philippines, this is the mildest place if
you want a spooky sampler. It is not the
easiest cave to do spelunking and
exploration, and the scare factor that
envelops this cave is that it is densely
populated with bats, as well as odd mineral
formations. The place can become very
uncomfortable, especially for those who are
not very familiar with the mechanics of cave
exploration. The limited light sources can
freak you out because of the shadows that can

15. 13. Herrera Mansion, Quezon
The stone mansion in Tiaong,
Quezon is believed to be the oldest
house in the area. The house—
designed in the 1920 by Tomas
Mapua—is owned by a married
couple, Isidro and Juliana Herrera.
The house survived World War II,
but it didn’t emerge unharmed. To
this day, locals claim to see headless
Japanese soldiers and an elderly
couple dressed in white roaming
around the mansion.

16. Top 10
Scariest Doll
Horror Films

17. A doll is a model of a human being, often used as a toy for children.
Dolls have traditionally been used in magic and religious rituals
throughout the world, and traditional dolls made of materials
such as clay and wood are found in the Americas, Asia, Africa and
Europe. The earliest documented dolls go back to the ancient
civilizations of Egypt, Greece and Rome. The use of dolls as toys
was documented in Greece around 100 AD. They have been made
as crude, rudimentary playthings as well as elaborate art. Modern
doll manufacturing has its roots in Germany, going back to the
15th century. With industrialization and new materials such
as porcelain and plastic, dolls were increasingly mass-produced.
During the 20th century, dolls became increasingly popular
as collectibles.

18. A fear of dolls does have a
proper name, pediophobia,
classified under the broader fear
of humanoid figures
(automatonophobia) and related
to pupaphobia, a fear of
puppets.

19. 1- The Conjuring (2013) – Annabelle)
A impressively effective horror film in its own right, The
Conjuring was the induction of one of the creepiest doll films
of all time, namely “Annabelle”, an evil possessed doll which
carried alot of baggage along with it. The film teetered
between the evil possessed doll and evil sprites calling in a
husband and wife team to help rid a residence in need of the
rogue spirit removal. The doll itself was seized and
quarantined to a glass case of which it still today (the real doll
this movie was based on was a raggedy Ann doll). The prop
doll used was indeed creepy on its own adding an extra “get
under your skin” flair to the production. This was the first
film leading up to the 2014 release of Annabelle (a prequel).

20. 2- DeadSilence(2007)–Billy
A great scary doll horror film directed by James Wan (of SAW fame). The focal doll
“Billy” bares a resemblance to “Fats” from the movie “Magic” while still standing on its
own as a worthy inclusion. Mary Shaw (as the prime villain of this film) was obsessed
with dolls and creating the perfect ventriloquist dummy. She becomes the the prime
subject of a dark poem that haunted the town of Ravens Fair, the location this story is set
in.
“ Beware the stare of Mary Shaw. She had no children, only dolls. If you see her in your
dreams, make sure you never ever scream, or she’ll cut your tongue out at the seam”
Billy made his appearance in the film’s first opening scene planting a chilling
introduction to the horror that awaits. The movie Dead Silence had plenty of
ventriloquist dolls aimed to send shivers, but it was Billy that remained the focal doll of
this film. The movie received mix reviews despite being down-right creepy and still
effective in its unique toned presentation. Ventriloquist doll Billy will forever remain the
prime image of this film’s posters and DVD art.

21. 3- Magic (1978) – Fats
Magic (1978) was an early iconic horror film that
introduced us to the acting talents of Anthony
Hopkins. Anyone who was around in the 80’s knew the
face of the ventriloquist dummy Fats who graced the
film’s movie posters. For quite a long time Fats was
relatively unchallenged in the department of
“effectively creepy dolls”. He never lost his appeal,
though years later now shares the horror spotlight with
several new contenders. Regardless,Fats lives on and
will always make the cut in “doll horror” best-of lists.

22. 4- Poltergeist (1982) – Scary clown doll
When the subject of “scary clown” or “dolls” comes up, there is
always someone in the room that proclaims “ya the scary clown
doll from Poltergeist freaked me out”…it never fails.
Well you also have to admit that the film Poltergeist was pretty
effective across the board as a solid horror film (I thought so
anyways). However, it was the scary clown doll that left a
permanent mark upon our psyches.
Word to the wise…..don’t buy creepy clown dolls leaving them to sit
in a rocking chair facing your bed. You’re just asking for trouble
AND it makes for quite the restful paranoid-sleep experience. It
was 1982 which marked the year that less of us wanted to look
under the bed when we heard a noise at night.

23. 5- Child’s Play (1988) – Chucky
Chucky is one of horror’s most well known horror icons. The rather
extensive franchise that followed created an cult following after its
main character. “Child’s Play” introduced us to Chucky, a doll which
became the host to the serial killer “The Lakeshore Strangler”.
Possessed by this evil spirit, Chucky becomes active and animated
culminating in a murderous slasher-style rampage.
The plights of Chucky often cross over into the dark humor end of
things, but for horror fans Chucky has indeed become a mainstay as
one of the scariest dolls of all time. Child’s Play transformed into a
franchise that spawned 5 sequels later taking on the name of its iconic
character. Like the villain Freddy Krueger, Chucky became more
absurd as his legacy grew.

24. 6- SAW(2004)– Jigsaw
Saw, has us duped from the start with a mysterious evil doll by the
name of jigsaw that would appear to captives per way of a
recorded video. The doll of course became known as just a decoy
prop for the real Jigsaw mastermind “The Jigsaw Killer” played by
actor Tobin Bell. However, this goofy looking doll was forever
attached tot he series as its most iconic image that even today is
still seen as a popular item during Halloween season. A trivia
item: the term Jigsaw was given to the killer himself by the media
for his practice of cutting puzzle piece shapes of flesh from those
who failed his tests. The doll itself began to receive less screen time
as the actor Tobin Bell was pushed into the spotlight. The Jigsaw
was and still is among the top scary dolls of all time.

25. 7- Trilogy of Terror (1975) – Zuni Doll
I hear about the famed creepy “Zuni Doll” more than any on this
list. The film starred actress Karen Black in the film’s anthology
design. The 3rd short film of trilogy was called “Amelia” using
a Zuni fetish doll as its main antagonist. The doll was most
remembered for its aggressive appearance that featured razor
sharp teeth and a spear. This Zuni doll quickly becomes the main
terror to this episode as its possessed spirit inflicts terror upon
Amelia. The film originated in the 70’s and was for that time very
effective in thrilling viewer audiences. The memory of this creepy
doll is often kept alive in conversations where older generations
still to this day remember how the doll impacted them. The Zuni
Doll is here to stay as a doll to be reckoned with.

26. 8- Making Contact (1985) – Fletcher
I had almost forgotten about this creepy doll film seeing that
the movie has really been off the radar (as far as being
available) for a long period of time (and not to mention
absent from most of the doll lists out there). I had purchased
the “Making Contact” film back when it was on the market
for a short while before it disappeared (again). The film was
originally called “Joey” and was one of those films that had a
brief run on late night HBO. Making Contact is a West
Germany production, which meant that you had to deal with
overdubs and subtitles. However, none-the-less it is an
interesting film.

27. An evil talking dummy named Fletcher begins to
make life hard for Joey who realizes that he has
certain psychic powers. Fletcher gets empowered
by a demon causing quite a supernatural stir.
Joey has to venture over into the spiritual world
to do battle. The movie itself was hit or miss.
However per the comments still churning out
today, it was a pretty effective scary doll film.

28. 9- Tourist Trap (1979)– Various
Technically mannequins, this film has so many mannequin
“doll-ish” moments using inanimate objects that it had to be
on this list due to pure intensity. The core of this film rests on
actor Chuck Connors who is a loner psychopath with
telekinetic powers operating an off road tourist stop. This gets
a bit “confused” as we experience creepy mannequins and
dolls coming to life terrorizing a young group of friends. For a
70’s film, this is easily among my favorites and still to this day
an effective and weird experience to sit through. I highly
recommend it. If you feel Tourist Trap is not doll-ish enough
to be on this list…then use it as an excuse to check it out
anyways.

10. Dolls (1987)
A group of people stop by a mansion
during a storm and discoverer two magical
toy makers, and their collections of dolls.
The dolls in this movie are possessed by
immortal souls cursed by witches and force
to pay for their crimes by being imprisoned
in these toys. So, of course they go around
killing people in the most brutal ways.
