As is the case in this story.
Once again, this took place at a relatives house in the province. My aunt at this point was very used to seeing unusual things and is to this day not easily frightened. It is perhaps because of this that spirits seem to try their utmost in frightening her.
One of the creepier occurrences she encountered on a fairly regular basis involved one apparition in particular and a large carved Nara (a type of wood indigenous to the Philippines) wardrobe.
She would occasionally wake up at night, and a white shape would catch her eye...it would linger a moment, sometimes levitate, before slipping into the wardrobe. At this point it would drape itself over a hanger, and at a first glance looked like a garment swaying back and forth except that it had a head.
The only person these mischievous spirits ever succeeded in scaring were her husband who could not even see or hear them but was terrified of the stories his wife told him.
The wardrobe still exists as far as we know, although the house that held it has since been torn down. It has been set aside for safekeeping and my mother recently expressed interest in acquiring it if we manage to get our hands on a truck to transport it.
She does have some reservations about bringing it into our home of course, while none of us can sense otherworldly entities, we would like to avoid haunted furniture.
