In this spot you can sometimes hear the bells from the Golden Cathedral buried deep inside the mountain.

That underground cathedral might very well be an ancient or even alien structure that will reveal itself when the time comes, say, by the year 2012.

It must have been quite an experience for you to set foot there and see those up close.

These kind of mystic phenomenon and the way that people interact with them fascinates me...

[Eone]

shooof....it is mystical. I always have butterfly in my stomach whenever I visited mystical places..errmm..have I ever visited one ???

[Ashish Sidapara]

Beautiful images to go with the story.

What a strange and fascinating place. I'd like to listen for the bells.

This is better than having a tour guide. The way you take us through places with snaps and posts is an amazing way to see and feel the place.

I have been to Mt Banahaw through the backway facing San Cristobal and the usual way where the pilgrims go. It really reminds me of a huge cathedral. And I have had experiences I cannot explain nor describe accurately. And yes, there is a local Filipino thought that you'd always have to ask the nature spirits' permission before you take pictures or even plants from any mountain for that matter. I live near a rainforest in Mindoro and i can vouch for this too! Also, not to chatter nor be loud while walking around...something can come your way quite annoying or even harmful.

I've been to a (local) place where there was an apparition of the Virgin Mary. At the time, it felt very mystical. Now it's just a place...

[Kyels]

I'd love to experience the sounds of the ringing bells from the Golden Cathedral. Are there ways to get to the cathedral?

(:

[rhodora]

Very intriguing. I wonder if these apparitions had been recognized by Vatican. Nonetheless, I want to experience those bells.

Did you hear the bells Sydney? This is really amazing. I want to go there. Maybe when I go to my husband's hometown in Lucena.

May kakilala ako, dati syang ispiritista, OR Nurse sya sa St. Lukes, pumupunta daw sila nung mga kasama nya dati sa Mt. Banahaw pag mahal na araw tapos nagbabasa sila ng Bibliya. Nakakatakot daw kasi nakikisali pati yung mga maligno.

Nagpahula ako sa kanya di daw ako magaasawa at yayaman. Magiging pilantropo daw ako. HAAAAYYYY!

How much time did you spend there? I hope you found Banahaw as mystical as I did.

Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and for leaving your comments. Do visit again!

Was your Monday as miserable as mine? I suppose spring means something else in the UK!

[vera]

I'm loving this recent series Sidney, some fantastic images and I like the story that accompanies them.
