This happened at the house of my grandfather in Bacolod

I was 8 years old then, on the backyard of the house there's a well that don't have any water and beside of it is a really big tree. I can't remember what kind of tree is that, but as long as I remember its roots hold the entire well. We were forbidden by our grandmother to play there.

It was late in the afternoon when I fell asleep in the livingroom of my grandfather's house. It was because I get really tired of playing, Suddenly a really beautiful girl wake me up. I think she is also 8 years old but she really is beautiful

Her long beautiful hair was tied by a ribbon, and wearing a white dress. She ask me to play at the backyard, but I refuse as my grandmother forbid us too, but before I knew it he pulled me towards the well. I was wondering when I see the well that looks very different, she entered there and said that she live there

I see stairs at the well going directly to the big tree, as we go down I feel like we was in a very big mansion. The hallway and the furniture was colored in gold. I can't look at those clearly as I was dazzled.

She bring me to a dining room with a very long table and ask me to eat first before we start playing. She bring me a plate of rice, but the rice look very different and I somehow I see something moving. I feel very disgusted so I said that I was still full at the moment, and need to go home because my grandmother will get angry.

She didn't force me, but I see her very sad, she escorted me to outside the well and say that she will be back again the other day. After that I got dizzy and everything went black.

After a moment I hear someone crying and when I opened my eyes I see my mom crying in front of me. I was puzzled and my sister said that I was sleeping for three whole days. They also said that they bring me to the hospital but still didn't get the answer why I passed out.

I told them that It was not that long when I was gone, it was not more than an hour when a little girl bring me to a mansion inside the well. They was shocked to my story, because I was still little way back then they treat my story a bluff

But I really know what I encounter way back then

P.S I still seeing the girl and we both are grown ups, She is a very beautiful lady.
