Summary

Have you ever had a dangerous close call? This week, I’ll be sharing true stories of real people who had brushes with the other side, and lived to tell about it.
First, I tell the tale of a kid who kept getting mysteriously lured out of bed. Then, I share the story of a woman’s close encounter with an unknown winged creature. Next, I recount the time a kid was surrounded by a Tik Tik. Then, I narrate the account of a young person who was saved by their dog. And finally, I read the experience of a young girl and her dad who got into a horrible jeepney accident.

1:10.5	No one had so much has made a dent in the pinata, so everyone was eagerly waiting to see if she would be the first to break it.
1:18.0	She put on the blindfold, readied the metal bat in her hands, and we all took a step back as she swung.
