In today’s world of science and technology, it’s easy to believe that we have everything figured out. But sometimes, strange things happen that make us stop and wonder: Is there more to reality than what we can see?
All across the Philippines — and many parts of the world — people have reported seeing glowing orbs in the night, meeting green-tinged spirit beings, and hearing songs that seem to come from nowhere. These aren’t just ghost stories or old legends. They may be signs that reality is more profound and more mysterious than we think.
Let’s explore what these mystical experiences can teach us about life, spirit, and the universe.
Dancing Lights: More Than Just a Glow
Many people, especially in rural and tribal areas, talk about seeing dancing lights—small balls of light that move through the air and often appear near rivers, forests, or graveyards.
In some stories, these lights are called “spirit lights” or “elementals.” They are believed to be the presence of spirits, ancestors, or energy beings from another realm. Sometimes, they guide lost travelers. Other times, they appear and vanish without a trace.
Scientists may try to explain them as gases or reflections. But for those who’ve seen them up close, the experience feels personal, even sacred. It’s as if the universe is speaking, saying, “You are not alone.”
Green Spirits: Guardians of the Unseen
In one unforgettable story shared by Datu Efren Hospital Mandipensa, he witnessed the spirit of his young cousin passing away — a green silhouette rising from her body and fading into the air. This moment, both painful and powerful, revealed to him the presence of another world just beyond our own.
In many cultures, green spirits are known as protectors of nature. Some are called Diwata in the Philippines — gentle guardians of rivers, trees, and mountains. Others appear during sacred rituals or healing ceremonies, offering peace or messages.
These spirits are not part of fairy tales — they are part of lived reality for many Indigenous peoples. They remind us that life is not just physical. Spirit and energy are all around us, even if we can’t always see them.
Ancient Songs: Music That Moves the Soul
Among the Higaonon and other native groups in Mindanao, oral traditions are passed down through chants and songs. These songs, called Limbay or Dasang, are more than entertainment — they are a form of memory, healing, and connection to the past.
Elders say that during these chants, the ancestors speak through the singer’s voice. Sometimes, people have visions or feel deep emotions while listening, as if the song is touching something beyond the mind.
These ancient songs carry deep wisdom. They tell us that the past is not dead. It lives in sound, rhythm, and voice. And it still speaks to those who listen with an open heart.
Are These Experiences Real?
Some people might ask: Are these stories real? Or are they just imagination?
But here’s the truth: Reality is not just what we see with our eyes. Indigenous traditions teach that spirit and matter are part of the same world, not separate. What we call “supernatural” might be “natural” in a way we don’t fully understand yet.
Science focuses on what can be measured, but Indigenous knowledge focuses on what can be felt, experienced, and remembered. These are different ways of knowing, and both are valuable.
Maybe the dancing lights are energy forms, maybe the green spirits are life forces from another realm, and maybe the ancient songs are the voice of the earth itself. One thing is certain: these experiences ask us to stay curious, stay humble, and consider that reality is much bigger than we imagine.
