1. Ateneo De Manila University: Room 314
I was dorming in Cervini Hall with three other girls – Michelle, Kat and a new girl who didn't really attend the university but was just their for summer classes and therefore I can't remember her name.
Michelle, Kat and I knew each other pretty well after having lived in the same dorm for the past few terms. But during the summers, we had to make do with living in the third floor of the boys dorm. This is how ended up in Room 314.
From, the beginning, there were some strange occurrences in Room 314. It was happenings like door locking themselves, hair standing on end in the middle of the night over nothing. One night, as I curled my hair, I could see NewGirl from her back in my mirror. A few moments on, I thought I heard her crying as well as reading a letter or something like that. The thought should I approach her and comfort her crossed my mind, but then I thought, I shouldn't be so nosy after all, I didn't know her at all. So that decided, I continued curling my hair and eventually got tired of doing so and started to straighten my hair again. She was still crying then. As I turned around to talk to Michelle, I suddenly glimpsed NewGirl sleeping on the bed next to Kat's. In the split second that I've seen her through my mirror crying and reading, there was no way that she could have gotten to the bed from the chair that fast. I suddenly realized that the person that I've been seeing in the mirror was not NewGirl. I glanced at Michelle and she told me, "I saw her too!" I jumped from my bed and Michelle and I ended up sleeping in the same bed that night.
When Kat saw us lying in the same bed the next day she asked what happened. And we told her. She said that NewGirl had gone to sleep the same time as her. I was curling my hair and seeing that girl in the mirror for a good 20 minutes. And all that time, it wasn't her.

2. ADMU: Sacred Heart Novitiate
The story of the 'stairs' is one that forces retreat-goers to go around in the 'safety' of groups. Legend has it that late one night, a group of students went downstairs to go exploring after the others had gone to sleep. The frightening thing was that no matter how long they kept going down the flights of stairs from the 3rd floor dorm hall they occupied, they could not seem to find the ground floor landing. Even more sinister was that they kept passing the same eerie painting of Christ at each floor landing, over and over again. – OSC Catherine Candano
3. College of Saint Benilde
It happened few years ago in College of Saint Benilde. In an early morning class, a girl in black dress entered room M-409 where a class was ongoing. The class didn't mind the girl thinking that she was only sitting in. Suddenly, in the middle of the teacher's lecture, the girl stood up, walked towards the front wall and, to the awe of everyone, vanished. Until now that ghost story still scares students who take classes in the said room. – OSC Neptali Esguerra
4. St. Paul's University
Many of the restrooms in the St. Paul campus aren't furnished with mirrors even though holes and wear on the tiling suggest that at some point there used to be.
They say that a girl who committed suicide is known to show herself to students in the mirrors, which is why the faculty had them taken down.

5. Central Philippine University: Ruby Hall
Ruby Hall is a medical center where cadavers are kept and is one of the most haunted places on the university. Students and teachers report cold spots and moving furniture in one of the classrooms and sometimes feel like they are being pushed or tripped while walking.
Some nights after the doors are locked the classroom's lights suddenly turn on. Strange elf-like creatures have been seen running around the room.
6. CPU: Football Field
If you are out jogging on the CPU football field early in the morning don't be surprised if you are joined by a young lady who strikes up a conversation.
When she passes a certain spot on the track, "Poof!" — she suddenly disappears.
7. De La Salle University
One day last February, even before the 7am classes started, a young Accounting sophomore decided to drop by the St. La Salle Chapel to say a quick prayer for her accounting exam. She reached the empty chapel, went to the very first pew, knelt down, and with eyes shut, began to pray. A few minutes later, she heard a shuffling sound and frantic footsteps.
The student opened her eyes and saw a limping, pale-faced man reaching out towards her, his torn clothes covered in blood, a bayonet sticking in his chest and mouthing the words, "Help me…" – OSC Paolo Gamboa
8. Miriam College
Two of the oldest buildings in Miriam used to house the grade school and high school levels. The campus was used as a make-shift hospital and headquarters during World War II, making these two buildings rife with ghost stories. They say that if you're in any of the restrooms and feel something brushing your shoulders or tapping your head, you should never look up, because you'll see the ghostly body of one of the women who committed suicide hanging from the rafters.

9. Don Bosco Technical College
The weird and eerie experience happened two years ago when I was facilitating a retreat (Days with the Lord) in Don Bosco Technical College Mandaluyong. The session that night almost finished before midnight; my co-facilitators and I were heading off to our sleeping quarters when one of them told us that he was going to introduce someone and we asked, "Who?" He said meet "Puti," but I couldn't see anyone! He then asked me to raise my arms just in front of where I was and it suddenly felt freezing cold. I immediately ran to the sleeping quarters and left them.
The following day, I learned that they were able to talk to "Puti," a young and playful kid who was shot in the middle of an encounter during the war. He continues to haunt the old Doña Cecilia corridors and manifests himself through a white silhouette as described by the security guards who would often see him play at night. – Cedric Ira A. Aquino
10. University of Santo Tomas Hospital
A staff member at the UST Hospital was taking the elevator down to the morgue, and there was only one other person with her in the elevator. The doors were still open when she saw a patient running to catch the ride, so she hurriedly pushed the button to close the doors. The man in the elevator with her asks her why she didn't let the patient catch a ride with them, so she answered "That patient had a red wrist band – only corpses from the morgue have those." Her companion then holds his wrist out and says "You mean like this one?"
11. University of the Philippines Diliman
A girl found herself the last passenger on one of the IKOT jeeps one night on campus. The jeep was approaching the stop nearest her dorm, so she asked the driver to pull over. To her surprise, the driver didn't stop, refusing to even look at her, and proceeded to take an alternative route. The girl looked around nervously, her apprehension building, when suddenly she found herself right in front of her dormitory.
She got off the jeep and was about to run inside when the driver called after her, "Neng, iniba ko na yung daan para makaiwas disgrasya, pero sunugin mo damit mo kaagad. Pag tingin ko sa rearview mirror, wala ka kasing ulo."
