Creepy Footage of Headless Sacristan from Cavite Procession Goes Viral Online
CREEPY VIDEO – A headless sacristan was caught on camera during a recent procession of Sto. Niño in Kawit, Cavite.
Local beliefs in several cultures believe that being headless in a photo or video is an unpleasant sign, indicating that misfortune might strike the person captured in the image.
While some cases of headlessness may be linked to paranormal explanations, skeptics frequently emphasize the involvement of visual illusions. Camera angles, clothes, and lighting conditions can all contribute to the formation of optical illusions in which a person appears to be without a head.
Recently, EJ Tiglao, a Facebook user, shared video footage of a sacristan seemingly participating in a religious event without a head. The creepy footage from a recent procession of Sto. Niño in Kawit, Cavite goes viral online and left the netizens in fear.
The video showed a man in a white robe, his neck and head area are missing. Concerns were raised when it appeared that the lack of the head was not due to film editing, with smoke moving through the space where the head should have been.
Netizens expressed concern, with some claiming that the unusual incident could be a warning sign that should be addressed immediately. “Kahit tinapik lang nya sa balikat,” wrote netizen Jhe, expressing the unease among online watchers.
Despite the skepticism, others provided another explanation. Some claimed that the man was just staring down and that the illusion of headlessness was caused by how his robe hung.
According to local beliefs, appearing headless in a photo or video is an omen of bad luck. To dispel this belief, it is suggested that the individual in question bury the clothes they wore when they were spotted headless.
