Strange Figures Reported Near Ayala Terraces at Night
Several people have recently reported seeing unusual figures near the Terraces at Ayala Center Cebu. These sightings happened after mall hours, sometime between 11 PM and 2 AM.
You might wonder:
Who are these figures?
What exactly did the witnesses see?
Is this something to worry about?
This article breaks down what was reported, what people are saying, and what questions still remain.
What Witnesses Reported
Most of the sightings came from mall security, late-night joggers, and nearby residents.
The figures were described as thin, around five feet tall, with smooth grey skin and large eyes.
They moved quietly, walking in pairs or alone, often near the plants and benches outside the closed mall entrance.
One guard, who asked not to be named, said this:
“I thought it was a person at first, but the head was too large. It turned and looked right at me. I froze.”
A jogger passing through on their way home reported something similar:
“It stood still. I wasn’t sure if it was a mannequin. When I got closer, it walked away quickly—no sound at all.”
Patterns and Behavior
Based on collected stories, these figures seem to appear only after midnight.
Common traits include:
No noise when walking.
No visible clothing.
No obvious tools or weapons.
They avoid lights and human interaction.
They are usually spotted for less than 30 seconds before vanishing behind columns, trees, or the escalator areas.
Where Exactly Were They Seen?
Most sightings occurred in:
The garden area outside the Terraces.
Behind the central water fountain.
In the corners near the escalators going up to the restaurant row.
Some say they saw the figures briefly standing near the parking entrance, but those accounts are fewer.
No CCTV Evidence?
One might expect clear camera footage in a modern mall. But sources claim:
Footage during those hours is either dark or inconclusive.
Some security feeds show brief motion blurs that can’t be explained.
Mall officials have not released any official statement. Reaching out to management yielded no comment.
So you’re left asking—why isn’t there clearer proof?
Possible Explanations
Let’s go through the most common theories:
Street Pranksters
Some say it could be people in costume, trying to scare others or create viral content. But no one has claimed credit, and no photos have surfaced.Late-night Workers
Could it be maintenance staff or cleaners seen in poor lighting?
That’s possible, but most reports mention unfamiliar behavior and appearance.Hallucinations or Suggestion
Were these people just imagining things? Perhaps.
But multiple witnesses, on different nights, gave nearly identical descriptions.Something Unknown
You might be open to the idea that these beings are not human.
No one can confirm that. But the fact that the descriptions match is what keeps people curious.
Why Are People Talking?
A few TikTok users hinted at “strange things in Cebu” without naming locations.
Reddit threads mentioned “grey shadows near Ayala” last month.
An anonymous user posted: “Not ghosts. They watched me. They knew I saw them.”
The buzz hasn’t gone viral yet—but in local groups, especially on Facebook, more comments are appearing under vague photos.
What You Can Do
You may be tempted to go there late at night to see for yourself.
If you do:
Don’t go alone.
Stay in lit areas.
Don’t provoke or try to get too close.
Some believe the figures are harmless. Others think they’re observing.
If you’re a skeptic, ask yourself:
Why would multiple people say the same thing?
Why would they lie?
And why now?
Still Unanswered
Why haven’t security teams said more?
If these sightings are real, what are these beings doing here?
Are they watching? Hiding? Studying?
You may never get all the answers.
But if you ever walk through Ayala Center Cebu at midnight, keep your eyes open.
You just might see them too.
