I Grew Up Across from an Old Graveyard

Scary Stories
About this episode
As a child growing up in the Philippines, the Dannah lived directly across from a school that locals believed had once been a graveyard. Stories of strange occurrences at the school were common, but didn't consider being a believer in ghosts until one night when the events began.
After changing the sleeping position, a white figure was seen sitting at the foot of the bed. 
Years later, after moving to Canada, the unexplained experiences apparently weren't over.
