THE DISAPPEARING TEOPISTO

When my mother was still young and strong she told us of a story about his younger brother named Teopisto.  It was said that, Teopisto was named after a priest who once upon a time was assigned in the province of Sorsogon.  Later on, the priest became an Archbishop.

My lola’s brother was a priest in Sorsogon.  He later died of a disease.  So my lola and his children came back to our lowly town.

My mother said that she and Teopisto would play “hide and seek” when they were still young.  They were attached very closely to each other.  Teopisto was reported to hide at the back of their door.  My mother would seek for him.  He could not seem him even at the back of the door.

After sometime, Teopisto would reportedly come out from the back of the door, laughing aloud.

My mother failed to see young Teopisto.  It was said that he befriended an “anito” who would help him hide.


Do you think this story is true?
