Here’s the list of haunted places in the Philippines to avoid or to visit.

1. Diplomat Hotel

Established during the year 1913, this hotel was originally used to house nuns and priests. When World War II happened, it served a refugee camp that was later invaded by the Japanese and it became a scene for violent acts like the raping, torturing, and decapitating of nuns and priests.

Some locals say that when night comes, you could hear the screams of the inhabitants long gone. The eerie sound of footsteps with clanking chains echo in the vicinity of the hotel.

A security guard was once doing his rounds when he saw group of priests walking in the hallways of the hotel carrying their own heads.

2. Manila Film Center

Manila Film Center was supposed to be one of the most iconic landmarks in Southeast Asia. In 1982, First lady Imelda Marcos requested for this Manila Film History Theater to be built in 77 days. The construction of the building was rushed which led to an accident, burying almost 1,000 workers under the rubble.

Some people survived the tragedy but most were trapped and their bodies were never recovered. Three weeks after the incident, the first lady still pushed through with the grand opening.

People from all over the world enjoyed the gathering, drinking champagne and dancing unaware that below them were buried the bodies of the construction workers.

3. Ozone Disco

A group of college students decided to celebrate their impending graduation at a popular bar in Quezon City. A fire broke out and escalated quickly, trapping everyone inside.

162 people died while 95 survived.  This was one of the biggest tragedies that the Philippine experienced.

4. Bahay na Pula

Before the Japanese era, the crimson house or Bahay na Pula was already built. The house was turned into a garrison for the Japanese army where it was used as a hideout and torture chamber for abducted men and women.

One of the famous stories of the people living and working there said that they can hear piano playing but when they check to see if there is someone using the music room, there is no one there.

7. Teacher’s Camp

Located in Baguio, Teacher’s Camp is an ideal place to host seminars and events because of its picturesque view. Aside from the beauty that the place has to offer, it is also swarming with ghosts. According to the rumors, the camps served as the battlefield during the American period.
