One of the most famous horror stories of the almost 400-year-old University of Sto. Tomas is the one where students feel a tapping on their foreheads when using the ladies' restroom in the Main Building. When they look up, they see the gently swinging feet of a female student who committed suicide in one of the cubicles, as the story goes. Also, a headless nun is said to roam the St. Martin de Porres building, formerly known as the Medicine Building. A UST student says a professor told them to leave the building by 6 p.m. There are also sightings of friars roaming the grounds and wailing voices heard.
Thousands of people died in the university, History Prof. Jose Victor Torres told Varsitarian.net. The university was an internment camp in the 1940s; some prisoners died of hunger, some committed suicide while others were murdered.
"The University's buildings have so many secrets to tell," Torres said. "It has witnessed so many histories, causing people to make and think of their own tales. Some may be real, others may not."
