I actually believed in some of those stories because I had some spooky experiences, but it didn't stop me from visiting the island. I was actually warned by my mother, but she couldn't stop me either. 😂
My thought was that if you are just respectful of their culture and way of life because you're the visitor, I'm sure they will welcome you with open arms. If ever what they're saying is true about the island, it means you just have to respect the island and the people more than fear it.
I started to give tips to posts I like because I felt my upvotes won't suffice. They're just small tokens. It's just random though.
Thank you and see you around!
Great post. Sorry to insert myself in the conversation :) but I do believe in all of the spooky and eerie stuff. 😂 I agree, as long as we are respectful, all will go well.
I had no particular spooky experience in Siquijor, but I just felt that when we were in Lazi port to chill, the island changes in vibe at night. As the sun sets, there's this blanket of ominous presence that surrounds the island.
When we were going home from the port, we passed by the acacia trees near the church and Lazi convent, and at that moment I told my friends to keep quiet and respect the place. 😂
It never hurts to tone down and observe than be sorry after. It's unlike my other travels when we were so loud and happy. It's more of trip to reflect inward and view the world on a different perspective.
Wow! Nagchikka nako. Anyway, thank you for stopping by.
Yes, I see what you mean. I haven't seen Lazi at night but there's something about that particular place even during the day, so I can imagine mapapa goosebumps talaga when it gets dark. 😀 I do like Siquijor and would like to return. Yes, you nailed it, reflective trip.
