No need to wait for Halloween to get yourself scared. In fact, you can simply watch The Conjuring in a cold midnight and shit your pants before the show ends. If you’ve seen it already, good for you. Now you understand that success of most You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

However, fact remains stranger than fiction. While Hollywood horror movies mostly use exaggeration, true ghost stories only rely on facts–at least, according to the eyewitnesses. And this is when the magic of haunted houses come to the picture. They have bloody pasts, real-life paranormal events, and other stuff that great horror fiction are made of.
So if you’re hungry for a round of thrills and screams, this list is totally made for you! Here are five of the most haunted buildings you must visit in the Philippines:
5. Malacañang Palace

Malacañang Palace is a silent witness to those glorious days that have shaped our history. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that this building has plenty of spooky stories to tell–including the ghost of no less than You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

But 17 years later, the horror of that fateful night literally echoes back from Ozone’s old, dirty walls. Terrified witnesses claim to have heard heavy beat of music and muffled voices coming from the abandoned building.

Fortunately, the building was completed in time for the 1982 Manila International Film Festival. But since then, furious ghosts have refused to keep silent.

Still, a hair-raising atmosphere at Manila Film Center is always ready to welcome those who dare to enter it.
2. Clark Air Base Hospital
Hospitals are said to be gateways leading to the afterlife. Clark Air Base Hospital in Angeles City, Pampanga is no exception. But if hundreds of ghost stories are to be believed, this abandoned hospital will surely make your knees tremble. In fact, Ghost Hunters International has dubbed it as “one of the most haunted places in the world”. It also has the most documented ghost sightings ranging from violent spirit voices to mysterious shadows lurking in the corners.
By reviewing its history, it should not come as a surprise why it has been haunted by restless spirits. During the WWII, Clark Air Base Hospital served as a haven for wounded and dying American soldiers. Its frightening reputation will soon be featured in National Geographic Channel’s docu-series aptly titled You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.
1. The Diplomat Hotel
Any list of Philippine haunted buildings won’t be complete without Baguio City’s Diplomat Hotel. It’s so filled with ghosts that thrill-seekers consider it as a favorite destination. But let us explore first how it turned into a ghost building: During the early 20th century, Dominicans built it to serve as a school, monastery, and finally, as a summer retreat house.
Then, at the height of WWII, Diplomat Hotel was badly attacked by the Japanese forces. Legend has it that You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

These horrific murders probably explain why a headless priest and chilling cries of an infant have frequented the abandoned hotel.
In 2012, however, the haunted building was finally renovated and christened with a new name: You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.. Whether the ghosts of Diplomat Hotel will remain or not is left for us to discover.
