Last Sunday’s special featured the works of esteemed GMA Public Affairs directors Rember Gelera, Adolfo Alix, Jr., Aaron Pappins Mendoza, and Zig Dulay. KMJS also tapped paranormal investigator Ed Caluag in investigating some of the featured strange incidents.
KMJS’ Gabi ng Lagim VI featured stories on the various ghost encounters in Manila City Hall as told by some of its employees; Aklan’s horror story of the undead or Amaranhig; the haunted hospital in Pampanga; and the unique premonitions and ability to predict future events of Jay Costura.

Inah is the daughter of veteran actress Janice de Belen, who starred in the ‘90s horror film “Anak ni Janice.”
“Eat Bulaga” mainstay Maine Mendoza, meanwhile, joined in the fun online when a netizen pointed out that it was her who was one of the undead in the docu-film “Amaranhig.” Maine half-jokingly tweeted she had to do a cameo to earn extra money but later clarified that it was not her in the scene.
