NOT FUNNY AT ALL

STORY I
This horrifying event happened to a very close friend of mine in college. It happened in a rural place, her home town wherein most of the houses are quite distant from each other because of the farm field.

Chris is a fun loving girl, who often joked around and doesn’t care about other people’s business. One night, she was at home, texting at their balcony outside (staying connected with college friends) and her family was inside the house. While texting, she heard a noise, chirping of a bird, flying against the wind. But it was no ordinary bird; it was a KIKIK, known as the wicked witch pet. Though she heard stories about those creatures, she never believes in it and thought of it as folklore. Thus, she made fun of it by mocking its sounds and yell “you’re too early to visit me or are you just going to ask me for a textmate”, she then laugh and laugh.


Later that night, her father asked her to come with them (the whole family) to go to their aunt’s house. She refused to go, since it will be a long distant walk to get there. So they left, leaving her alone. She just went inside the house when everybody was gone. There she sat in the couch, in their living room, texting endlessly. Suddenly, she was interrupted by a noise coming from their front window, someone’s scratching. When she came to look what it was, she saw an old woman standing. She thought she was a beggar. Chris looked at her closely and the old woman’s hair stood up, her eyes bloodshot, staring at her; and her mouth was dripping with saliva, as if she is craving for Chris flesh. Chris screamed and bravely closed the window immediately. She, then kept on running on the other part of the house, screaming for help but no one heard her. The old witch managed to find her through all the windows in the house. Chris was freaking out when the old witch was about to break the window using her own head. But she suddenly vanished when someone was knocking at the door. It was her father; the whole family arrived and was shock by her appearance. ‘Til then, she never made fun of something she doesn’t know and it never bothers her again.

STORY II
This incident happened to my mother. When my brother was just newly born, my parents want him to sleep between them in the bed at night. One particular night in November, when my mother was about to sleep, she heard the KIKIK chirping above the roof. Since my father was there, she didn’t get scared, instead she made fun of the bird and said, “it would be very stupid of you to get my baby with my husband around ‘cause it might happen the other way around. You might end up like a chicken barbeque”.

The next night, when my mother was preparing our dinner, she forgot to buy garlic as one of the ingredients. Thus she had to go to the neighborhood store to buy one. By getting there she had to pass this dark area with a big mango tree in it. She got to the store easy but when she was about to go home and passed the dark area, she felt something. It felt like someone was staring at her and she was terrified when she noticed that a KIKIK was flying above her, chirping. Scared of what might happen next, my mother didn’t make any move instead she just stood still. But it just disappeared in a split of seconds, when someone was coming. So she immediately run home and told us about it.
