A Redditor with a username of 1st_Lt_Unson shared his experience on June 11 of a “weird chemically/electrical smell” spreading in their area.
“There’s a weird chemically/electrical smell around this time. It began two days ago, I think. And my relatives are also reporting similar stuff,” 1st_Lt_Unson said on his post. “Anyone else? Sorry if I can’t describe well nor construct sentences straight. My head is pounding, and I can’t get away from the smell.”
“Heck, I initially thought it was a meth lab until I heard about it from my relatives. Now I think it’s a conspiracy thingamajig, maybe the smell is affecting me…,” the uploader added.
The post titled “Weird smell around 11 PM – 3 AM” went viral, and some users also shared their common experience of the said weird smell.
“Holy sh*t. You serious? We had similar experience here in sampaloc. Happened last night on that exact hour of the night,” a Redditor washinwashout expressed.
“Partner lives in Malate and mentioned the same funky odor. Baka nga daw gawa ng sunog,” chancelina said.
“Strange. I’m from Imus, there was a strange smell too around Sunday 4am-ish. Woke me up as I thought there was something burning, it smelled like burning electronics,” cringefest77 stressed.
The weird smell further experienced in Visayas as username ddaddie shared his experience in Cebu City. “wth. same here. and I’m in Cebu City,” ddaddie said.
The post has reached hundreds of comments on the same experience of the odd smell.
Meanwhile, the uploader 1st_Lt_Unson edited his post and added that the smell might be the outcome from the fire in Malabon.
The Reddit thread was reposted on Facebook and gained a lot of attention.
For now, whether the smell is really coming from a fire, a natural phenomenon, or a human-made — it still remains unexplained.
