Shake Rattle and Roll: A Filipino Horror Stories

EPISODE ONE: (MANSION)

Chapter One: The Perfect Family

The Rodriguez family was the epitome of perfection. Nicolai, the eldest son, was a straight-A student and a talented athlete. Cleopatra, known as Cleo, was the stunning elder sister who excelled in academics and extracurricular activities. Florence, the mother, was a successful businesswoman, and her husband, Carlos, was a respected lawyer. They lived in a beautiful mansion in the heart of the city, surrounded by lush gardens and a sparkling pool.

But their perfection was shattered when tragedy struck. Florence's mother, Dolores, passed away suddenly, leaving the family devastated. They mourned her loss deeply, but they knew that they had to move forward.

Carlos received an offer to buy a new mansion in the countryside. It was a magnificent property, with sprawling gardens and a breathtaking view of the mountains. The family was thrilled at the prospect of moving to a new home, and they eagerly packed their bags and set off for their new abode.

Chapter Two: The New Home

The new mansion was even more beautiful than they had imagined. It was a grandiose structure, with high ceilings, marble floors, and intricate carvings. The gardens were lush and green, and the pool sparkled in the sunlight. But as soon as they moved in, strange things began to happen.

At first, it was just small things. Doors would slam shut on their own, and objects would move without explanation. But as time passed, the incidents grew more sinister. Cleo would wake up in the middle of the night, screaming, claiming that she had seen a ghostly figure in her room. Nicolai would come home from school, pale and shaken, with tales of strange noises and eerie shadows.

Florence dismissed these incidents as mere coincidences, but Carlos was becoming increasingly concerned. He began to research the history of the mansion, and he discovered that it had once belonged to a wealthy family who had met a tragic end. The family had been found dead, their bodies mutilated and their spirits said to still haunt the mansion.

Chapter Three: The Haunting

As the haunting grew more intense, the family began to feel like they were being watched. They would catch glimpses of shadowy figures out of the corner of their eyes, and they would hear whispers in the dead of night. Florence refused to believe that the mansion was truly haunted, but Carlos was convinced that they needed to leave.

One night, as the family slept, they were awakened by a blood-curdling scream. They rushed to Cleo's room, only to find her bed empty. They searched the mansion, calling out her name, but she was nowhere to be found.

As they searched, they came across a hidden room, filled with ancient artifacts and gruesome relics. They realized that the mansion was not just haunted, but cursed. The spirits of the previous owners were seeking revenge, and they would stop at nothing to claim the souls of the Rodriguez family.

Chapter Four: The Deaths

As the haunting grew more intense, the family began to experience a series of deaths. First, it was Daniela, Cleo's best friend, who was found dead in her room. Her body was twisted and contorted, her eyes filled with malice.

Next, it was Reggie, the family's gardener, who was found hanging from a tree in the garden. His body was mutilated, his limbs twisted and broken.

The family was terrified, but they knew that they had to find a way to stop the spirits. They turned to a paranormal investigator, a woman named Sarah, who claimed to have the ability to communicate with the dead.

Sarah revealed that the spirits were seeking revenge for a tragedy that had occurred in the mansion many years ago. A wealthy family, the Montagues, had once lived in the mansion. They had a daughter, Rose, who was mentally ill. The Montagues had locked Rose in the hidden room, where she was left to rot.

The spirits of the Montagues and Rose were seeking revenge for their mistreatment, and they would not rest until they had claimed the souls of the Rodriguez family.

Chapter Five: The Final Stand

As the haunting grew more intense, the family knew that they had to fight back. Carlos, aided by Sarah and a team of paranormal investigators, devised a plan to rid the mansion of the evil spirits. They performed a ritual, invoking the spirits and demanding that they leave the mansion.

At first, it seemed as though the ritual had worked. The mansion was silent, and the family breathed a sigh of relief. But as they prepared to leave, they heard a blood-curdling scream. They turned to see Cleo, her body twisted and contorted, her eyes filled with malice.

The family realized that they had been too late. The spirits had claimed Cleo, and they would not rest until they had claimed them all. They fled the mansion, their hearts pounding in their chests, knowing that they would never be truly safe again.

The end. But the haunting would live on, a reminder of the darkness that lurks in the shadows.
