The crooked man

This happened in the Philippines, it happened at August 15, 2018

It was a lovely evening, it was cold, relaxing, and you can also see the beautiful full moon.

I was on the way home after I was done with my morning shift at the convenience store at 7 Eleven. I was walking towards the tricycle station when I was already at the subdivision, my house was at the back of the basketball court. I went to hop on the tricycle, there were also a few people who also hop in cause they were going at the same direction as me.

Besides me and the tricycle driver there were 3 more people a pregnant lady, an old man, and also a lady that works at the bank.

We were near already near to our street, not until we were about to pass the basketball court. We can hear someone or something bouncing a ball, it was really dark at the court, there were no lights, and there were no people at the court.

We thought of it as nothing, not until something was blocking the road their body was crooked. Even the driver was terrified, it came closer and closer. The driver quickly drove away saying “that’s not a human” he said. When the driver was already driving fast he looked at the side window, that’s when his face turned pale white.

The people at the back seat was also terrified, the bank lady was keeping her jacket on her head and the old man was scared to death. When I look through the side mirror I could see it chasing after us, it was really fast even for a crooked man. It was running with its feet twisted so as his head. I was lost of words. That thing was smiling crazily when it was chasing us, but when we arrived at the tricycle station we couldn’t move. I called my dad to pic me up because I didn’t wanna stay at mine. We were all frightened after that.

The bank lady was crying, we were still terrified. The people at the station was confused, so as the other drivers. My dad quickly went to my subdivision after hearing what I said. My mom was also with my dad, and so are my siblings.

I told these to my parents, and they said maybe it was nothing. A few days later I found out that the crooked man was found dead at the comfort room of the basketball court, his feet was twisted and so was his head, he might’ve been murdered. I couldn’t sleep at that subdivision anymore so I moved out. I was still frightened about what had happened.

I couldn’t sleep that well, because that crooked man’s face and also body terrified me. I even had to go to a therapist after that. It’s been 2 years since then, I don’t know when was the last time I’d ever go back there.
