Dado’s Tale of the Unknown (SWC)

Dado’s Tale of the Unknown (SWC)

Source

When my father was still alive, people in our village would always tell us that he has unique characteristics, unlike any others. His nickname is Dado, that’s what people call him; he sees things that we are not supposed to see. The one that they called a man with a third-eye'.

That's what people use to say, my father always encounters seeing weird and unusual things. Aside from the unique gifts and abilities he has, he also has quirks and vices. My father was a gambler, he would usually come home late at night during wee hours. He would walk few kilometers to get home and during those time that's where he usually encounter's those creatures and entities that live among us. One of those stories is what I am about to tell you.

One night, when my father walked home from one of his gambling activities called "Mahjong". It was passed 1 am where the night was still, the street was so quiet and everyone was fast asleep. He passed by the bridge where there are a lot of bamboo trees engulfing the area.

People pass through that street all the time except that fateful night, It was impossible to pass through, it seems that the trees move on their own where three of the big trunks of the bamboo were blocking the way. During that eerie night, there was no one else except my father and upon seeing what's in front of him, he shouted some Latin words and by the time he finished, the bamboo trunks return to its original position. My father was so brave and he wasn't afraid of what happened during that night and he just passed by the road so easily.

Then suddenly, in front of him, he saw a casket right in the middle of the road about a hundred feet from where he stood. Then again, he shouted and make some remarks in Latin prayer and the casket disappear in an instant.

By the time that he was near from home, yet again he was being escorted by a gigantic hideous looking creature in a human form. A very ugly looking creature that smokes tobacco.

Source

They call it "Mangtiw" in Cebuano and "Agta" to some. The odd-looking creature was smoking and he walks side by side with my father. My father didn't budge instead he just kept on praying his Latin prayers until he was almost 20 steps from our home the creature just suddenly disappear.

It was so weird to think of such things. An ordinary guy like me believing and thinking as such would make people think and call you crazy. Perhaps no one would believe but those were the stories he would tell us in the morning when we have our breakfast and just by listening to it, I was already afraid.

Later on, after a month around 11 pm, my father arrived from his "Mahjong" activities, this time he goes home earlier but when he was about to enter our front door, he saw a very odd-looking creature of what we called, "sigbin" in Cebuano dialect.

Source

He saw the sigbin trying to force its way inside our own home as my father bravely face the evil creature. He utters and prayed many Latin prayers until the "sigbin" flees and went away.

My father used to tell me that, these creatures really "exist" and we should not be afraid of them since they should be the one that should be scared of us. That's why we need to always pray to our God Almighty and let His Word and teachings be our guide. But how can we not be afraid? If for instance, we encounter and see these creatures and entities that we are not supposed to see. Are you not afraid? For me, it may be.

Another incident that we will never forget is by the time when my sister died of cancer and this is actually very personal to us. My father shared something with me. He told me that if we really want to see for ourselves the appearance and the soul of my elder sister.

Source

He told us to wait for three (3) days and after three days we will just tap the shoulder of the person who leads the prayer and then right there we can see the soul of our sister.

No one in our family dares to do such thing. Everyone was afraid. Then suddenly, my uncle took a bold step. My uncle took courage in volunteering since he was already drunk. And one of his reasons for doing it was he really wanted to see for himself if what my father was saying was really true. So by the third day of prayer, my uncle boldly tap the shoulder of the person who led the prayer and true enough, he cannot believe what he just saw! He fainted and was left speechless!

Source

He was in utter shock! By the time he gains some consciousness, he told us that he really saw our sister joining us in prayer. Since that incident, my uncle never took any challenge from my father again.

Source

Lastly, the incident that I am about to tell you happened near our home. In front of our home is an Elementary school just across the streets and on that school, there are full grown acacia and Nara trees beside it.

Source

One day when there was a Ceres bus liner stopped just right in front of our home my father saw four (4) passengers got out from the bus and by the time got out. He saw the four passengers went directly to the Narra tree nearby the school and suddenly faded.

Source

My father told us that those Acacia and Narra trees right in front of the school have been there for so many years and in those trees, there are other 'beings' or 'entities' living in there. He told me that these entities can copy a person's physical and facial features of what is also known as "doppelganger".

Source

They copy faces for many reasons, some would copy to mingle with mere mortals and mostly so they can lure them into their traps and devour their mortal flesh and harbors one's soul. The people who can detect and distinguish them among ordinary human beings are like my father. The one who has "sixth sense" or has high tuned senses.

All of the things that I have told you are true and they are accounts of my late father when he was still alive and well. I know that his intention was not to scare us or give some stories to fuel our young minds with fairy-tales or old-tale wives. He told us all these things to warn us and to be aware that there are entities and creatures living amongst us and that we should be guarded and vigilant.
