This story is a little weird, but not really scary. It’s just about this stranger, specifically a tall man that I used to see by the window when I was still a kid. It all started when I fell asleep in a Talisay tree by the river bank where salty water from the sea meets with the water from the river. My parents were away that time and I just came home from school. My cousins and I love to play by that tree. If you’ve tried eating a Talisay nut like fruit, I guess you can relate. I climbed up that tree and found myself a comfy place to relax on. It’s overlooking the sea and you can see the sun set. The gentle breeze was making me sleepy. The last thing I could remember was I fell asleep there, the next thing I know I was lying down comfortably in one corner of our house, and my dad was trying to wake me up.

They told me, they’ve been looking all over for me for the past few hours, and the weird thing is, they even searched for me on that same exact spot where I slept. It wasn’t the first time that I fell asleep on that tree, that’s why they thought perhaps I was just right there. They said that after was 6PM they all got worried because I was nowhere to be found, not even on that same exact spot where my dad found me sleeping. They even rang the church bells; a thing that people only do when somebody is missing or somebody died an unnatural death, and people were already praying, my mom cried so much tears.

We used to live in one of the remote islands in the Philippines where there was no electricity yet at that time, although we had generator machines as a source of electricity, whenever we need it. People there has too many beliefs, and they believed about Banwaanons or Elven creatures, same as Legolas of LOTR. One person told my parents that they saw a tall man carried me to the house, but none of the people around there knew that man. That certain person and his friends just thought perhaps it’s one of our relatives or something. But, we had no visitors at that time.

Ever since then, I always see a tall man standing by the window of our house. I’ve always thought he was a stranger because no one in our place looked exactly like him, and he’s too tall and fair skinned for a local fisherman or a villager.

We used to sleep with all windows opened, so the sea breeze acts like natural AC for us. but, ever since the incident my parents would always close the windows and even the exterior shutters because my siblings get scared. I never really felt fear or anything, I even felt more secured. Until now, I don’t really know where he came from. Although, I know he’s not one of us, because I saw him again when I had an accident in Mandaue, and the last time I saw this man was more than a year ago, when I had an accident in Antipolo. It’s as if he’s always there to save me during my near death experiences. I had so many weird experiences already, that even people who witnessed the incidents could not believe what their eyes have seen. My mom even told me a weird story that happened when I was still a baby. She said that they were all sleeping, and I was just about two months old. They were so sure that I was in between her and dad before they slept, but they woke up only to find me by the carpet laughing and as if playing with someone. Just the thought of me falling off from the bed which is really high, is really freaky. And come to think of it,  its too impossible a baby of two months old (who can’t even crawl yet) to get that far — alone

FYI: That time, I was the only one with them, there were only three of us in the house, which was locked from the inside. So, no one from the outside could possibly carry me, take me out of the bed and then place me there. Besides, before anyone could do that, at least either my mom or dad would wake up. They were just so dumbfounded, to see me there, and they never found any other explanations for that. They stopped talking about it when people started to think I might be possessed by evil spirits. LOL. crazy!

I don’t know with you guys, but I have a strong feeling that guardian angels are for real.

But, there’s one thing that still puzzles me. Is it possible for a person to have two guardian angels?

Now, that’d be another story…
