RE: A childhood dream fulfilled: My visit to the haunted Torre ni David in Bukidnon.
Just one look at David's Tower makes my hair stand on end. The human-like guards or sentinels are amazing but there's a mystery wrapped around them that I feel. Just the first sight of the gigantic trees will make you feel something is eerie, if you know what I mean. In Mindanao, it's always said that when there are big trees, there must be an Encanto living there. Do you believe what the elders say? Brrrr...I'm really scared by the look of the house. My mind is playing tricks. 🤩
Is that house abandoned? I feel a twinge of remorse that after building such a unique house, there's no one living there, but it still looks very sturdy and livable. I think the materials used in that house are durable even if it's made of wood. Narra or Apitong was probably used there. I also saw something similar in Davao de Oro. The house is owned by a Spanish family, people call that house "Train House". Could they not be related?
Yes, Ate, it was really bone chilling. I was not able to take pictures of the interior because the atmosphere became heavy and unsettling. The air felt unusually cold 😁 perhaps that was just my imagination👻. The house was abandoned, I learned, having been home to the Pacana and Vamorida families. I don't know why they left. The house is largely uninhabitable, while some portions might still be used. The walls, windows, and roofs at the rear and sides are dilapidated. Remarkably, it's still standing after approximately 75 years since 1950s. The supporting posts remain intact, as you can see in the pictures. But Filipino belief holds that if a house or its content remains unbroken, like the men statue standing as if it they were supporting the whole house, spirits might inhabit it. Awooooooooooo......👻 👻. I'm unsure of the "train house" in Davao. Where is it located? I am excited to visit it if possible.
Wow! The house is 75 years old and yet it's still standing? The foundation is beautiful then! The wooden materials used in that house are sturdy! The architectural design is beautiful, not to mention the so-called sentinels of the edifice. My hair stands on end when I look at the human-like posts and the huge trees around. You also dare to come near there! If it were me, I would tell myself, @diosarich, retreat!🤣🤣🤣 It's spine-chilling! I just can't imagine when the night comes! 🥶🥶🥶
By the way, the "Train House" I'm talking about isn't in Davao City. You can find it in Pantukan, Davao de Oro, in the "Poblacion". I'm just not sure if that house is still standing because the wall materials used were interlacing thatch or rattan.
