Seeking solitude before a retreat in Bacolod, a man kneels in a small stone chapel and hears a dragging sound approaching along the pews. When he turns, he sees a headless woman in a veil, her throat a jagged stump of flesh and bone, sobbing with a wail that cracks the silence. As the candles flicker and the shadows stretch, he realizes the penitent is not just mourning—she is confessing something that happened within these very walls. This Philippine ghost story draws from Filipino Catholic folklore and the spirits that haunt colonial-era chapels, blending religious horror with the terror of a ghost who cannot rest until her story is heard.
