Robinsons Malls Hidden Snake Chamber: Truth or a Lie?
There has been this mysterious rumor since 90s that this particular mall, Robinsons Galleria, hides a mysterious creature behind its dressing rooms. That creature was said to be a half snake, half human. And is the twin brother of Robina Gokongwei, daughter of Robinsons founder, John Gokongwei Jr.
There are claims that every time that half man, half snake is hungry, he will pick one unlucky, beautiful girl that is using the malls dressing room. And the floor is said to open, sending the unlucky girl to a series of pipes and slides her into the human-snakes chamber. And the human-snake will eat her. Some says that the human-snake would even rape the girl before eating it.
Other versions of the story said that there are no series of pipes, the floor will just go wide open, dropping the girl into a deep, dark place. Into the basement, where the human-snake dwells, and will eat her.
Another story says that the mirrors in the dressing room serves as trap doors that opens when the human-snake picked someone and will send the girl to the human-snakes chamber. The mirrors are the hidden way to the human-snakes chamber.
Actress Alice Dixson even once claimed that she survived the human-snake once when she went to a Robinsons Mall. In which Robinsons Mall, I dont know. Further, according to stories, the human-snake fell in love with her. Deciding not to kill her. And Alice escaped.
However, Alice, said that it didnt really happen in her later interviews. Some people say Alice just broke the news because she is trying to revive her career. Some people say Alice changed her statements because she was paid by the Gokongweis. There are also gossips that even Rita Avila became a victim of this human-snake. However, there are no more stories about Avilas encounter with this human-snake creature.
But the stories dont end there. In the opening day of Robinsons Dumaguete in November 23, 2009, a mysterious black out occurred. And when the lights are back, reports say that a salelady, and a girl customer was missing. No more reports after the incident. The explanation of the black out is just because the mall changed power.
That half human, half snake, twin brother of Robina Gokongwei, is said to be named as Robinson. Some people say that the story is just an exaggeration of Robinsons abnormal condition.
On the other hand, some people strongly believe that these rumors arent true. That these are just a product of the tightening competition between Robinsons Malls and SM malls during that time.
How true is this?
