For
thousands of students of the two public schools situated in San Fernando Street,
San Nicolas District in Manila, Pedro Guevara Elementary School (PGES) and
Marcela Agoncillo Elementary School (MAES), they believe their schools were
once places for eternal rest of those who passed away. Since I have neighbors and
cousins who studied in PGES, so I’ll just focus on that particular school.
I
was told of numerous creepy stories of apparitions of spirits especially when
darkness bites the vicinity. Several boy scouts who camped in PGES for some
time have also accounts of supernatural activities occurring inside the school
such as sounds of footsteps, banging of doors and the like. They always relate
these happenings to the supposed “past” of the public school, which is
according to them, a public cemetery.
