Siquijor Ghost ship

 


from GMA news

For 70 years, residents of Lazi, Siquijor believed that the ghost ship or tayog-tayog is magical. It gave them the creeps, appearing at dawn every day and then vanishing into thin air just minutes after it comes into sight.

Just last Thursday, the Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho team flew to Siquijor to investigate the matter. Despite having rainy weather that night, tourists arrived and patiently waited for the ghost ship to appear at dawn.

Minutes before 1am, a ship actually appeared. Unlike their first video, there was no second ship that met the first on the horizon. Instead, its lights shown brighter than before.

It was pretty much the same scene on Friday, except this time, two ships appeared, with the second coming into sight five minutes after the first. There were also smaller fishing vessels on the horizon.

When the KMJS team asked the fishermen of the small vessels about the two bigger ships, they said they were actually far away from them. But yes, they were used to tayog-tayog sightings.

The Philippine Coast Guard team reassured that there are no scheduled ships in Lazi based on their records and to make sure, Siquijor Station Commander LTJG Donna Liza Ramacho requested a larger vessel that could take everybody on board and sail through the waves to investigate.
