TRIVIA 2 #philippinehistoryhalloweenspecial Again,Submitted By: Ryan Untalan A Poltergeist Haunted Jose Rizal. Jose Rizal Encountered A Poltergeist Ghost in Dapitan Apparently, even the Philippines’ foremost hero was not immune to otherworldly hauntings. While in exile in Dapitan, Rizal wrote to a Jesuit priest about one of his houses being haunted by a poltergeist. In this case, the poltergeist was said to be targeting his significant other Josephine Bracken who also believed that it was the spirit of her dead father. Rizal wrote that many of their household items had been broken by the poltergeist. When Josephine asked the spirit what it wanted, “All her cups, tea kettles, saucers, etc. fell down at the same time. All the boys and I saw it.” Rizal requested the priest, Father Obach, to come over and perform an exorcism. The haunting reportedly stopped afterwards. However, noted historian Ambeth Ocampo advises everyone to take the story with a grain of salt since it would not make sense for Rizal—a known critic of superstitions—to even believe in hauntings.
