SANTELMO (A BALL OF FIRE)
Have you ever seen a fireball floating in the air?
Because me I did!
I still remember clearly that night, in my father's place at tangub city a small city of Mindanao Philippines.
The place we're most of my paranormal thing happened.
My grandfather tell us about the story that he encounter during his youth before, he said while he was walking home late at night and it's raining, while he passing of the bunch of bamboo tree's he saw a shining light coming toward him he taught that it's his companion holding a torch, since there is no flashlight at that time, as the light coming towards him he's surprise that there is no person holding a light buts it's santelmo itself, so my grandfather get a match and light it up, and it's vanish in the air. (They said when you encounter a santelmo don't run because it will chase you instead keep calm and get a lighter or match and light it up and it will be gone).
My cousin tell me about his encounter about the santelmo, he said that when he was walking from school, he pass in the forest it's already night and it's so silent and cold while he was passing the big tree of balete he thought that he saw a torch coming since and he thankful that he gonna have companion to be with he said that "thanks god theres light he get his cigarette and light it up and the torch vanish in the air without trace. When he get home he told everyone what he witness.
As for me, I never expect that I also saw a santelmo it's very unexpected experience I ever have.
Before a month when my uncle's death because he was murder, one night when I go to the toilet since our bathroom is outside separated from our house, when I was set on the toilet I open the door since there's no light on the bathroom only the moon who gives light, I saw a shining light in my aunties house (my uncles wife) above the mango tree as I look on it as if it's makes bigger and bigger, my eyes became wide because of surprised, i felt the chill in my body that everything becomes slow-mo, I begun to pray that lord save me for what I saw, then I wake up on my sense and light the match, good thing I bring it with me and run back to the house.
Then in the morning I told my family about what I saw my aunts said maybe it was her husband visiting them. Since his spirit is still lengiring around because of his sudden brutal death.
I hope and pray if it's really my uncle spirits I hope it will be rest and find peace in the name of the lord and whatever he did when he still alive I hope it would be forgiving.
I still have a more stories to tell hope you could read and support.
Thank you
