Know of any weird urban legends around Baguio or anywhere in CAR? Scare people, post them here.

The ruined Diplomat Hotel in Dominican is a former seminary dating back to the early 1900s. During World War II, Japanese occupying forces were responsible for the beheading of numerous nuns and priests. After the war, the location then became a hotel. An awkward feeling is noticed when entering the rooms. The rooms were quite large, displaying dimly lit sleeping quarters and Bibles on the side tables.

Back when the hotel was still open, during the night, guests, clerks, as well as bellhops, claim to hear the sounds of the dead. This has even been reported to occur during the day as well. Some have spotted headless apparitions wandering about the corridors, where some have even gone as far as to state that they saw ghosts carrying heads on platters.

It is also believed that outside the hotel is just as scary as the inside. Until now, people go there say there's something eerie about the place. It's sort of become a hangout for ghost hunters.

Nyahaha.

hehehehe!payso dayta isu. ma try nga.hahahaha!adi mayat for a haloween party.

Yes I hope you do get what you wish for and try it. Although the place is in closed now since the owner died of a heart attack in the 80s, you could still get permission to enter the place. I suggest you go there at night and imagine seeing headless apparitions in chains and hearing muffled voices, though I pray they all found rest now.

spooky!!! daym..

there were also people who claim that they were being possessed by some of the spirits there at diplomat hotel!

Maybe I'm possessed too. It's like I have this dark cloud hanging over me right now... or maybe it's just HO. nyahaha

In Leonila Hill, Upper Session Rd., there once stood Pines Hotel which was the site of a tragic fire incident that killed 4 firemen and probably other guests in the 70s. The same site where SM City Baguio now stands.

Now there have been reports of mall visitors seeing faces in the bathroom mirrors that would not be there a second later. One patron even gave a photographic description of someone apparently dressed like a fireman... in the ladies’ room!

So the next time you go to SM be more alert when you go to the CR. Who knows? Maybe you'd be the next lucky person to spot an apparition.

Baguio taxi drivers tell the story about this woman, (some say it is a white lady), who would walk to the middle of the street to stop a passing vehicle in Outlook Drive near the area of the former Hyatt Terraces. Naturally, a driver would stop to avoid hitting her. She would then ask to be brought to Mines View Park, but would disappear before getting there.

Well, the story goes that there was this brave macho driver who refused to be pressured into believing the story. One night, he passed by the area and, soon enough, THERE WAS THIS WOMAN IN WHITE FLAGGING HIM TO STOP! He swerved his cab and did his best to avoid running over the woman and drove on. All the while he kept saying to himself, “This is not true… it is just my imagination…” When he looked at his rearview mirror to find out what happened to the woman, he was shocked to see the woman already seated behind in the back and SHE WAS STARING ANGRILY AT HIM WITH BLOODSHOT EYES! Again he told himself “This is not happening… this is not true...” and stepped hard on the accelerator. But his car wouldn’t accelerate. It just moved ever so slowly. He shifted gears but still his car maintained a slow pace. Momentarily, he focused his attention on the gearshift of his car, shifting again and again while revving up the motor. HE LOOKED BACK AT HIS REARVIEW MIRROR AND FOUND HER GONE! He even turned around to look and truly, she was no longer there. But as he sighed in relief and faced the road once more, SHE WAS ON TOP OF THE HOOD OF HIS CAR WITH HER FACE PRESSED AGAINST THE WINDSHIELD! This time, she had an evil smile on her face.

They say some other taxi driver found him early the next morning near the Baguio Country Club, still seated in his cab, his hair had all turned white, shaking and blabbering, “It is true… it is true…” They say he is now in the mental hospital.
