After lunch today, I went with Kookie to her salon to accompany her while she got her hair done. After her haircut, we decided to go to Makati Cinema Square to check out the tiangge there. We were checking out phones and laughing at the clothes they sold, when she remembered that she wanted to check out if this Wicca store was still open. Kookie is into Wicca, and she said that she used to buy stuff from there a few years back. The store was located at a secluded spot in the basement, where, aside from the almost full binggo place, had a lot less foot traffic. When we got there, we were surprised to see that the store closed down already. The glass doors were sealed shut and a makeshift plywood wall was used to keep people away. Signs written on masking tape strips said "Do not open. -Management", and were stuck all over what used to be the entrance to the store. Curious, we peered inside the dark room. At first, all I saw were remnants of an abandoned stall. The former tenants left a lot of stuff inside and was obviously in a hurry when they evacuated, but aside from that, I didn't see anything too weird. I looked at Kookie and sighed, "hmmm, bakit kaya?" Then, she looked at me and quietly said, "may nangyari dito." I peered inside the glass door. What I saw on the floor sent chills through my spine.
A pentacle was drawn in black spray paint on the floor, and in the middle of the figure stood black candles. As soon as this image greeted my eyes, I felt a shiver travel from my toes to my nape. I looked at Kookie, and without even having to say a word, we started to walk away from the stall. Apparently, a mall security guard saw us because he approached us and said, "Ma'am, ano po ang hinahanap nyo jan?" Kookie then asked why the stall was evacuated, and the security guard said, "Nagka-problema po sila, kaya wala na." While saying this, he gave us a look as if to say, yes, you are probably thinking what I am thinking and you are probably right.
A few minutes later, while Kookie and I were waiting for our food to be served at a nearby restaurant, I told her that the whole thing creeped me out. She said that the pentacle and black candles are usually used to drive out evil spirits, and that something probably happened there which made them have to perform that ritual. She knew that the owner was into Wicca as well, and did not have any qualms about giving tutorials about Wiccan rituals. Something must have happened inside that stall that attracted evil spirits, and they had to drive them away.
I am normally oblivious to supernatural stuff, and that was definitely one of the creepiest sights I have ever seen.
