I'm not sure specifically about the ghost stories of the Insular Life Building in Makati. It could be that people claim to see strange apparitions or experience unexplained phenomena like cold spots or strange noises. But without more detailed local accounts, it's hard to say for sure.
Story 3: An old, empty school building was said to be haunted. A new security guard was hired to keep an eye on it. One night, he saw a little girl in an old - fashioned dress walking down the hallway. He tried to approach her, but she disappeared. The next day, he found out from an old local that a girl had died in a fire in that school long ago.
One abandoned mansion was known for its dark history. A couple exploring it once saw a strange light in one of the rooms. When they entered, they smelled a strong scent of roses, which was odd as there were no flowers around. Suddenly, the door slammed shut, and they heard whispers. They managed to break out, and later discovered that a woman had died of a broken heart in that room, and roses were her favorite.
The unknown elements make a true life story creepy. For example, if there are unexplained noises or sightings. Just like in the story where people hear footsteps in an empty old house but no one is there.
Well, I know a story. A woman was walking alone at night on a seemingly empty street. She noticed a figure in the distance that seemed to be following her. Every time she turned a corner, the figure was still there. She started to run and found a 24 - hour store to hide in. When she looked out, the figure had disappeared. But she never forgot that creepy feeling.
The lack of emotion in the stare can be very creepy. If it's just a cold, dead stare, without any hint of humanity or kindness. It gives the impression that whatever is doing the staring is not alive in the normal sense, or that it has no empathy. This makes the person on the receiving end feel very vulnerable and scared.
One creepy story is about an old abandoned house. People passing by at night often heard strange moans. A group of brave teens once decided to go in. As they entered, they felt a sudden coldness. They saw a shadowy figure in the hallway that disappeared when they blinked. They ran out in terror and never went back.
Characters are essential. They are the ones who drive the story forward. Without characters, there's no action or plot. Locations also matter. A story set in a spooky forest will be different from one set in a busy city. And items play a role too. They can be used by the characters to perform actions, like a key to open a locked door.
It could be quite convenient with easy access to great views and modern amenities. But it might also have challenges like waiting for elevators or dealing with noise from neighbors.
