The Confession Of The Ghost
An infamous criminal or bandit who could not have an eternal peace in another life after death because of the crimes committed in the world when he was alive is returning after his death. He appeared to the people and sometimes hitchhiking with the person riding a horse and sometimes revealing himself in the form of a coffin floating in the river until his meeting with a priest, his confession with the latter and the eventual pardon and forgiveness of the priest to him.
One night, a priest was awakened by a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he was shocked by what he saw. In the veranda is ghost peering through wearing a white dress. The priest asked guest what does he needs. "I am Siam-Siam" (Nine-nine) he replied.
The priest made a sign of the cross and gather all his courage. He knows Siam-Siam.
"If so, why are you roaming around the land scaring people? Why don't you repent and confess for you and your neighbor and other people to find peace? "Father," answered Siam-Siam, "I am here to make a confession."
And Siam-Siam whose bones is spreading in the concrete floor knelt before the priest.
"This is what I want to confess."
When I was still alive, I killed 99 people and stolen 99 carabao or water buffalo and 99 cows, 99 pigs, 99 bananas and 99 guavas. Each sin was committed 99 times."
With this confession, every disturbance and horror brought by the ghost was stopped and since then, Siam-Siam was never seen again.

He needs to traverse or pass through a remote area where there is a bridge that has several huge trees intertwined with each other. Deep darkness engulfs the area and he almost visualize the surroundings. He pushed through with his plan of going through the bridge. However, in around the middle there is an object obstructing his way. Walking closer into the object, he was terrified before his very eyes a coffin with a white object inside it. He discovered an individual lying it with one of his feet raising up. The traveler went to the other side and attempted to pass through this block however the person lying in raised his both hands. The traveler doesn't know what to do. There is a rainfall that night and the people is in deep slumber. He is hesitant to return to where he came from. He stayed a little bit backward, and thinking carefully about what he should do. Finally, he made a decision. It seems like he was dictated and carried through to run hastily and when he is nearing the coffin he closed his eyes jumping over the object which obstructs his way. When he passed through in the bridge, he looked back and he saw with his very eyes a zombie already standing with his hands outstretched or outspread. He run as fast as he could until he reached his home is the victim of the ghost's prank or mischief.

The Halted Testament
In a barrio in Mandurriao, Iloilo there lived happily a couple named Soloy and Tonia. They have three children. They have a convenient easy life because their father is a wise spender. However grief struck the family upon their father's sudden sickness and death. The family greatly mourned his loss. In this dire situation, they were still disturbed by some hair raising visions seen inside the house. When the night falls, there is an appearance of a headless man or a man wearing a black robe or a coffin - things that greatly terrified them. In their great terror, they abandon their house and since then no one dares to sleep in that place.
A traveler passed by the haunted place but he never slept. Teryo who just returned from Negros dared to spend the night in this place. He drinks the tuba first. The darkness is spreading and enveloping the surroundings however it formed in his vision a hair raising omen but due to his insobriety he just ignored it. Finally, the ghost revealed to Teryo the wealth he was unable to tell his wife before he died. This is about the six jars of gold. Half of it went to Teryo and the other half to the family of the deceased.
