Actress and comedian Herlene Budol revealed one of her most frightening experiences.
In an interview with “I Juander” for their Halloween Special, Herlene said that she experienced being warned by a random lady who told her that she was headless.
“May nagsabi sa akin na hindi ko naman kakilala. Tapos tinapik niya lang ako, sabi niya sa akin, ‘umuwi ka na.’” Herlene narrated.
“Sabi ko, ‘hala, bakit naman? Ba’t ako uuwi?’ Tapos sabi niya sa akin, ‘ano kasi nakita kita? Wala kang ulo?’ Sabi niya sa akin, ‘Neng, umuwi ka na, wala ka ulo,’” she added.
After she realized the seriousness of the warning, Herlene decided to go home.
“Pagkatapos niya akong sinabihan, umuwi talaga ako. Kasi siyempre hindi ko na naman kilala. Tapos pinauwi ako ng ganu’n. Tapos sasabihin, wala kang ulo!’’ she stated.
Being seen as ‘headless’ was considered a bad omen by Filipinos.
To counter the said omen, people who spot a headless individual should warn the latter and advise them to burn their clothes.
