Muntinlupa cemetery is home to spooky tales, horror attraction

If you are into horror stories, then a visit to the Muntinlupa Public Cemetery might be for you.

A report by JP Soriano on “24 Oras” unearths some of the creepy stories behind Muntinlupa Public Cemetery's ordinary facade.

Malu Enriquez, the public cemetery's administrator, said that a tree positioned in the middle of the tombs stirs fear among visitors for some reason, while sounds of babies crying have been heard near their tombs.

"Noong inilibing na raw 'yung bata na pinagsasaksak ng maraming beses doon na sa lugar na 'yun, 'di na sila makatulog tuwing gabi. Naririnig daw nila 'yung nguynguy ng bata na nagtatawag ng nanay,” Enriquez said.

This was echoed by Leticia Bernal, a utility worker in the cemetery.

"Sabi ko, may umiiyak eh. Tapos sabi nya, ay oo nga, Nanay, may umiiyak. Sabi ko, ikutin mo dun sa gitna. Baka may bata o baka may pusa. Wala naman raw. Kinikilabutan ako pag nagkukuwento ako,” Bernalshe said.

“Hindi ako naniniwala sa mga multo pero nu'ng nakatrabaho na ako dito, naniniwala na talaga ako na merong nagpaparamdam,” Bernal added.

But if these tales are not enough, the cemetery is also hosting a "horror trail" for the fourth straight year.

The show, which aims to entertain and scare people at the same time, is free, and at least 8,000 people have checked out the horror trail thus far.

The customers came out satisfied.

"Opo, sobra [na] nakakatakot. Maganda, magaling 'yung concept nila,” one customer said.

“Nakakatakot din. Saya,” another customer, a mother, added.

The horror trail will be open until this Friday. — Llanesca T. Panti/BM, GMA News
