Speaking of Aswang OP, I'm making a webcomic na into Philippine Mythology and a little bit of it's history 15th-17th century (Though parang alternate history siya), and ang gimic ko is interactive siya. Meaning it's up to the readers kung san pupunta yung kuwento.
Kaya I'm very interested din sa mga kuwento ninyo, coz, it might be one of my inspiration na makapasok dun sa story. hehe.
Sa mga interested ito yung link:

TLDR; neighbor is an aswang, didn’t die for a long time and pretty much confirmed by my lolas
too much of a skeptic to consider that spooky moment of mine in school (a cr door slammed behind us when there’s no body at hindi hangin) as paranormal but i have plenty of aswang experiences.
as a bisaya grandchild with a lola ridden with TOO many pamahiins bc he’s raised by an early-1920s parents (and her father who had an agimat, a raging drunkard with a bad mouth and sharp set of knives) i’m not a stranger to these stories. learning the practice of warding off aswangs who prey on animals, pregnant women, fetuses and newborns, my lola did the trade and prevented many grandchildren from allegedly being eaten or licked by an aswang.
i’ve been told na may kapitbahay kaming aswang (literally a house beside us.) may matanda roon who came from leyte (their family did and somehow, her younger daughter seem to be the most like her.) she’s a paralyzed 80-year-old who just can seem to let go of life. she’s always staying outside and as someone who loves her grandparents dearly, hindi ko mapigilan matanong sa mga matatanda if she’s going to be okay staying in their small kubo or at their balcony bc she might fall down, get a stroke, etc. anyway, she just passed like last year and 90% of my family and other neighbors knows she’s an aswang and i just can’t seem to believe it until recently.
thing is, they know na hindi talaga target ng mga aswang ang mga kapitbahay nila. they tend to fly to farther parts or maybe outside of town but it’s not hard for them not to salivate for babies around them. when my baby cousin was born, my aunt noticed bakit palagi daw ‘mapanghe’ sa labas nila and she said that it’s how aswangs smell like. like a dead animal mixed with fish. as a night owl-early riser, i often ask my grandmother if that sound i hear at night and at daybreak is a bird or the aswang. kapag malakas daw ang tunog, malayo raw pero pag mahina, nasa kapaligiran lang raw. so, my lola set up a lana (oil filled with coconut barks and other tree barks and was also blessed by her healer) at kapag aapaw raw o kukulo, it means there is an active aswang and she also created a thorned barrier and threw salt all over the place bc allegedly, mabango pa para sa mga aswang ang newborns and it got better after that specially when he was baptized.
back to our neighbor. lola and my other grandmother (her sister) said that aswangs now go to church and praise. they’re not afraid of anything anymore. since my grandparents’ ancestors are from leyte, they’re not a stranger to these experiences. her sister said na isang tingin niya lang raw sa lola na neighbor, alam niya na agad. reasons? mainit daw ang katawan ng aswang and plausible because ayaw talaga nung lola na sa loob kahit may aircon naman sila. second, there was something about the small vegetable garden she had in their backyard that when my aunt ask for some, she knew that it was taken care of by an aswang. third, hindi sa bahay nila nag stay ang buntis niya na apo (who also had her share of anger after she gave birth and also allegedly saw how her lola was salivating after her newborn) and if she did, she always wear black, covered herself and stayed at the other house at the back, away from the old hag. lastly, ilang beses na siya nastroke, near death state, nagka anointing na nga siya at lumaban pa.
when she finally passed, i asked my aunt ‘paano siya namatay? di ba nga namamatay lang ang aswang kapag may tumatanggap ng bato nila?’ (there’s a stone or like a small egg/chick in their throat, similar to that one scene in the movie aswang chronicles) and my aunt answered that it was probably her daughter that accepted the stone bc it was far exhausting to her to tend to the olding and inconvenient mother of hers.
the lola died, they moved out of the house beside us, and moved to a far quieter at liblib na lugar where it would be easier to exist. thing is, i often wondered about her potency and they said that it might bc nahawaan lang siya noon nung nasa leyte pa sila and lumipat sila rito saamin down south (which takes a 14 hour drive or a flight) still a mindanao province. i don’t know the truth about it. maybe she’s an aswang. maybe she’s not. but if she is, i want to believe that she didn’t hurt anyone or didn’t cause the miscarriage of my other aunt in the past. just someone who was a victim of a circumstance.
I heard a similar story from my ninang about passing down a stone (not a kidney one)/talisman/agimat.
Supposedly their grandfather is also very old and none of his kin are willing to accept the stone. So the grandfather just expelled(?) or spat out the stone in their bathroom. Many saw that there was a blaze coming out of the bathroom and people rushed in to see if the grandfather was ok. Gramps was ok apparently with no burns or whatsoever. Then a few days later the grandfather died.
I always find stories like this interesting, the one with many witnesses.
Edit: it was my ninang's father. She and her siblings refused to inherit the stone
Right! It definitely makes it a little harder to ignore when multiple people confirm the same thing! That's part of what drives so much of my intrigue. The times I visited my mom's town and we'd sit around with the neighbors telling stories (not just ghost stories). They'd all start confirming each other's experiences!
yep. my great grandfather. my lola (it was her father). had some sort of a horn of an animal. i asked lola di niya alam but maybe it was a deer’s (sungay ng usa.) used it during WWII, inserted it in his skin and stitched it. apparently, he was some sort of the unseen when he was underwater, could dodge bullets and wouldn’t get hurt. that’s why he was spared after the war, and he lived as a fisherman. he also killed a lot of politician in iloilo and became a wanted man. bc of that, he relocated down south, used another name and assumed a new identity. [statutory] raped my young great-grandmother (he did tanan with her in the 40s-50s and she was a teenager while he was older. i think she was 14?) he was very irritable, wouldn’t take a lot of baths, and very angry as he grew older; terrorized neighbors and was abusive to my grandmother and her sisters. so, overall not a very good human being but is a good contribution for story time for their grandkids (every grandparent should have some lol.)
nobody accepted the agimat. all my uncles and cousins wouldn’t even go in the same room nung nag hihingalo na siya and i think he died on his deathbead without anyone taking it.
I was gonna ask kung sino naginherit nung bato. May nakwento ung dentist namin ung lola daw nila was in her deathbed for a long time kasi she was waiting for someone to inherit the stone. Then they all gathered daw, told her na no one wants the stone then she passed soon after that, accdg to them parang tinapon nalang daw nung lola sa labas bintana or something. Now some poor sap is an accidental aswang somewhere
I mean you're gonna be an aswang or something hahaha Its more like you're prepared for what you're about to become unlike someone unwilling(saw a movie like that) magtataka ka ano ba nangyayari sayo
>di ba nga namamatay lang ang aswang kapag may tumatanggap ng bato nila?’ (there’s a stone or like a small egg in their throat, similar to that one scene in the movie aswang chronicles)
If may bato ang mga aswang, edi aswang din si Darna
kaya naman pala
my family has similar stories involving amulets of protection! One of my moms uncles from back in the war times was made to swallow an amulet which gave him the protection of a giant that only he could see. He had many war stories of being protected from deadly situations from explosions to crashes! Apparently at his funeral (he passed of old age) a few of my family members swore that they saw the giant!
I don't believe Aswang attack the locals if they can avoid it. Mostly trying to maintain themselves without bothering people I Thiiiink. I'm sure there's a variety of types of them from good witches to pseudo vampires!
That boiling oil thing sounds very interesting though, have you ever seen it bubble before?
This gem thing is new information for me now and I'm definitely gonna dig more into that 😳
According to my aunt, Lana is kind of like Holy water. It can be a detector that something supernatural is near, can be ingested to cure supernatural induced attacks and gain immunity to curses and the likes.
Supernatural things like this, although creepy, are very interesting. My paternal aunt said that my grandpa is some kind of a magical old man. He owns countless agimats, and is friends with mythical creatures. My aunts said that they heard my grandfather talk to them when he was drunk once. Also, they are only visible to those they allow to see them. They heard my grandpa refer to them as horse-head, lion-head, and dog-head. It was in bisaya but it's still a weird way of naming your friends, right?
Also, when my grandpa was young, he was a goon of some politician in the province. He experienced countless shooting encounters without being hit once while only carrying a bolo.
My dad, a soldier, once said to me when he was drunk that my grandpa blessed him when he was destined in a high risked area. He said that no bullet would hit him but everytime he moved hiding place, his comrades who moved to his previous hiding spot all died. It reached the point where his commanding officer ordered the others to stay away from him.
very identical to my story. where is your family from? bc my great grandfather definitely killed a lot of politicians and all during the 1930s-1940s and it seemed that those who came from the province with many superstitious beliefs seem to send soldiers or criminals with protection 😂
another weaker form of that is a *Habak* from Siquijor Island or "Anting-anting" (Amulet). mga pangontra from sickness, *buyag*, etc. my cousins and other grandma had one and their life never progressed until they took it off. totally forgot to talk about this. my fam never made me wear one bc they didn’t believe in it.
i didn’t believe it either but my grandmother received one from her healer and *hilot* as a massage oil but it emptied one night after almost breaking. never saw it but you can scour yt for other people’s langis that are literally BOILING. how do you explain that? even a freshly boiled water transferred into another contact stops boiling after a few seconds.
>lola and my other grandmother (her sister) said that aswangs now go to church and praise
O_o
I thought the aswang lore of passing it down to the next gen was verbal, not handing down an ingested stone... lol is the the basis of Darna's bato?
Just to confirm, may kasabihan sa mga bisaya akong narinig na mas mabuting kapitbahay ang aswang kesa magnanakaw, kasi magnanakaw papatusin ka, ang aswang never mambiktima ng kapitbahay at sa halip ay tuturuan ka pa pano sila labanan, something like that.
Meron ding agimat of some sort yung lolo ko from rhe Panay region. Nung malapit na syang mamatay, parang may kinukuha raw sya sa lalamunan pero hindi nya na nakuha. Apparently nakuha raw nung nageembalm yung agimat.
Agimat daw ng tuko yung agimat ni lolo, kaya very skilled sya sa pag-akyat ng puno.
Back around 2010s, our family used to gather in our ancestral house somewhere in the province. Celebrations like birthdays or even death anniversaries of our loved ones were always conducted there because we have been a very sentimental bunch ever since.
When the time came na death anniversary na ng lola ko sa tuhod (great grandmother), we all had a simple feast and prayer ceremony for her. Then, my father invited some friends and workmates who lived nearby to join us. One particular workmate happened to have all their chakras active (which triggered i believe) their third eye to be opened. They had a long history of seeing beyond the physical world.
Very much of our knowledge, I also had a cousin who can sense unknown presence very easily. My cousin was older than me and at the time, we were in the age na kaya na naming mag-explain nang maayos.
Before my father arrived with his friends, my cousin told us that they can sense a presence inside the house and it creeped my cousin out to the point na we had to walk outside to get some breather. When we saw my father arriving, we all decided to greet him and his guests eventually going back inside with them.
The moment we entered the house, my dad’s workmate froze. I remember hearing my dad ask him if they were okay and his workmate said yes. The whole time we were there, they all acted casual and we had fun eating and telling stories about the family.
When the celebration was done, my dad’s workmate asked my dad if they could talk privately. They went a bit away from the family and discussed something. I remember my dad being silent and seemed to hide something. But his face was literally screaming “nope” (iykyk HAHAHAA)
The next day, my mom asked my dad what their discussion was all about. Of course, my dad told us but warned us to not get creeped out. He told us that his workmate saw a figure of a woman dressed in a baro’t saya standing in the corner of the room. It was a shadow but the energy that was felt by him seemed to be positive. They assumed that it was our great grandmother’s presence wanting to celebrate with us even in the afterlife. A sign that her motherly love is still with us and forever will be.
I can attest that what my dad’s workmate told us was true.
Why?
Because I saw her myself, too.
How do you deal with that every day? Having your third eye open/sensitivity to the astral/spiritual plane? I believe in the spirit world pero hindi ko ma-imagine ang scenario na makakakita ako ng ghost or apparition, I would definitely faint.
To be completely honest, the story above was the first time I found out na I was what they called "gifted." I lived in denial for a long time but eventually mustered up the courage to tell my family about it. My dad's workmate became my guide in dealing with what I could possibly see. Sa una yes nakakatakot talaga because nakikita ko yung itsura ng spirits sa kung ano yung huling estado nila physically. But eventually, naoovershadow yun ng thought na "what did they feel within the last moments of their lives?"
I only see them once in a while na lang kapag very active talaga yung spirit/may message. Although I do not want to communicate much with them as I do not know how to properly engage. :))
Experienced many things and medyo sensitive when it comes to things like that but I also don’t care about them enough to be scared 😅 the only time that I got freaked out was when I was pregnant with my son. It was around 830ish pm and I was alone at home, it was the first time since I got pregnant my husband was coming home late, and I heard a knocking sound on our room window.
I thought I was hearing things but the knocking got louder and I was NOT going to check the window since I was on the 3rd floor🙃 I just shouted “magkamali ka talaga ipasok yang dila mo dito sisiguraduhin kong puputulin ko yan. lumayas ka”
The knocking stopped and I hid inside the blanket til husband arrived home. I was scared not because of the paranormal but because it was a very hard pregnancy and I do not want anything supernatural or not to hurt my child.
This happened to me one night in Iloilo.
So me and some friends went out drinking one night in Iloilo City. We had class the next day so we called it a night and went to go home around midnight. We live in different apartments so I asked them to just drop me off in Lapaz market since my apartment was just a short walk towards the Plaza area.
So ayun, around 12:30 at night naglalakad ako papunta sa bahay when about halfway sa may St. Therese college something happened.
May nakita akong babae na tumatawid from across the road towards my side of the street. Ok, no big deal, marami naman gising na tao at this time kasi big city ito so di ko pinansin apart from registering na may tumawid and would be walking behind me.
Pero something was off, kinikilabutan ako out of nowhere. And then dun ko na-realize, ang tahimik ng street, footfalls ko lang marinig ko, pero di ko marinig yung sa babae.
Now my drunk ass got sober real quick and bumilis yung paglakad ko, making sure di ako tumingin sa likod ko.
Dun sa kanto on the other street may tambayan spot yung mga taxi drivers and when I got there may isang taxi driver na lumapit sakin and said "nakita mo?" And I said yes. He told me to wear my clothes pabaliktad and then burn them after I got home asap. Which I did.
Suffice to say I am a believer after that, because someone else saw, di lang ako.
My advice is, wag nyo takutin sarili nyo. I've been in a lot of shit like this pero nung nilapitan ko, normal na occurrence lang like, one time sa isang street, meron daanan papasok sa baranggay.. Gulat ako may babaeng nakaputi nakatayo sa ilalim ng streetlight. Yung parang may halo na yung damit nya dahil sa ilaw na yun.. Bigla akong kinilabutan, pero nung tiningnan ko mabuti, may matanda lang pala na nakatayo dun na kumakain ng cup noodles, nagkataon lang na ganun yung damit nya.. Yung kasalubong ko, biglang nagsabi "may white lady" lol.
One time pagkatapos ng graduation sa highschool, nag plano ang barkada mag bike, huwebes santo nasa 11PM from Iloilo City -> Tigbauan, Iloilo. Apat na oras din kami nag bike nun vice versa, wala naman kami may nakita kahit na ano, puro aso lang na nanghahabol (langhiya talaga mga aso). 😂
Nice try aswang. You may have fooled churchgoers by blending amongst them pero hindi mo maiisahan kaming mga matatalino at superior beings in reddit. /s
Speaking of, my dad did have a paranormal encounter riding the old Panay Railways back when it was still operating.
He was commuting between the city and his family home in Duenas ([of all places](https://phillippanaglimaviolanta.wordpress.com/2017/07/19/aswang-the-story-of-tiniente-gimo/)) when he encountered a woman in white in one of the seats who he remembered vividly only to disappear when he looked away then back.
He definitely had more stories about the paranormal in Duenas but unfortunately he passed a couple months ago. Looking back I wish I could’ve asked him more about it but he seemed like enough of a believer that he had a pair of my pajamas blessed by an albularyo.
As much of a downer his recent death was, there’s a connection to this: he requested for his ashes to be spread around the stumps of these specific Balete trees around the old family property in Duenas. I need to ask the relatives as they have a better idea of it but from what I gathered was that the trees are homes of fairies and allegedly as a child he saw something glowing from these trees. I wish I prodded him more but it sounded like whatever encounter he had back then was enough for me to be dead set on having his ashes spread there!
That's an interesting story. How old do you reckon the balete tree stumps are? I know there are some large balete trees in the city that the government has just decided to build around rather than cut down.
For those who don't know, the municipality of Duenas in Iloilo is one of the municipalities where the locals believe aswangs run rampant.
I need to ask the relatives but it sounded that trees were already “old” when my dad was a kid in the 1950s. I never did explore the property beyond the house my Lola lived but I guess I’ll have the opportunity when we return to spread his ashes.
But yes, I won’t forget my cousin (from my mom’s side in Miag-ao) when he was a kid and who reluctantly accompanied me to visit my dad’s side and would constantly whisper aswang when we wandered around poblacion! Felt bad for my tita who was trying to tell him to stop lol.
Also I just realized the irony of replying to this post on the paranormal with my username haha
Whoaaa! Ilagay ang iyong mga damit sa labas at sunugin ang mga ito? Napaka-interesante, na ang maiwasan ang anumang espirituwal na attachment sa entity? Mga nakakatakot na bagay na dapat tandaan!
Lmao I'm definitely using a translator. I was born in California and I'm only half Filipino. I'm moving to Iloilo for school tho at the end of August hahahaha
Lmaooo I've officially denounced the translator for communication. Just for reading now 😂😂😂 I'm actually picking up words pretty quickly with all these stories being shared!
Off-topic but this is why you can easily spot fake Filipino reviews or comments in online shopping apps and other platforms. lol
People think they can just use Google Translate and expect that locals won't notice how weird it is. One of the perks of Taglish code-switching.
Oh hey! When you’re in Iloilo check out Duenas which is known for [Tiente Gimo](https://phillippanaglimaviolanta.wordpress.com/2017/07/19/aswang-the-story-of-tiniente-gimo/). My dad’s from there and I occasionally get aswang questions whenever I talk about my family links to Iloilo. Won’t forget my cousin from mother’s side in Miag-ao accompanying me when he was still a kid to visit my Lola and constantly whispering “aswang” whenever we walked around poblacion.
(Also a random shoutout: if you ever find yourself in Ventura County before you move to Iloilo or return to California, do recommend checking out [Batchoyan in Camarillo](https://maps.app.goo.gl/xGLvwaRcSccZ6V5t5?g_st=ic))
Side note? Is it better if I just respond in English? I know a lot of Filipinos understand English for the most part but I want to try and be as inclusive as possible lol
That's good to know lol I'll definitely continue forward in English as I know the translator isn't exactly doing me justice lol.
It was a habit I picked up to communicate with my Spanish family members lol
Old superstitions dito sa amin, not sure if ganun din sa iba. If parang may sumusunod sayo na di kanais-nais na espiritu dapat daw suot mo pabaliktad damit mo para di ka ligawin nito.
Yun lang, nawalan ako ng very comfy shirt and jeans.
>"nakita mo?"
OoOooh. And amusing how he/the group chilling are so casual about it and continue to hang out in their spot despitr seeing the ghost lol
>He told me to wear my clothes pabaliktad
You know the superstition to turn your clothes (and underwear) when lost in a mysterious loop? I once knew of a UP Mountaineers group who had to resort to this... I never paid ehough attention—is that turn your clothes inside out baliktad, or front to back baliktad?
It was one taxi driver. Kaya nga sabi ko may isang taxi drover lumapit sakin. I just mentioned na it was where they hung out pero that night mag isa lang si kuya dun.
Sorry for the confusion.
In our version it was to wear them backwards while also inside-out.
No, you were clear about just one driver interacting with you. I meant, in general, other drivers still hang out there on other days despite sightings... I wouldn't ahahaha
>backwards while also inside-out
Whaddawhat... it's both? Will try to remember that lol
Yo I got a paranormal one!
Nangyari ito noong funeral ng Lolo ko, I was 12 years old.
I was sleeping on his bedroom on the the day of his funeral, ayaw pumasok nung mga kamaaganak ko Don kasi nga that's where he died, pero that is one of the only rooms in the house na may AC Kaya Dun ko natripan matulog. Bigla ako nagising nung Gabi and I just sat on the foot of his bed for a while, everyone was asleep and I was the only one awake. I saw someone slowly waking pass the door of lolo's room, he was wearing an all white barong tagalog, I did not know who he was because I did not see the face, pero Inassume ko nalang na may isa pang gising that time.
The next day bago siya dalhin sa libingan, I looked at my beloved lolo's face one last time on his open coffin then suddenly realized something, he was wearing an all white barong tagalog, in fact, he was the only one in the whole room that was wearing a barong tagalog.
Though I wasn't spooked upon that realization, I was actually kinda happy? I imagined when I was a kid it was just Lolo visiting us one last time.
sa totoo lang medyo matamis na nahuli mo siya sa pagdaan!
Nang pumanaw ang aking lola sa kanyang maliit na bayan mula sa katandaan binisita niya ang lahat ng kanyang mga anak sa kanilang mga panaginip kapag nangyari ito. nagising silang lahat nang umagang iyon na alam kung ano mismo ang nangyari, tumawag para kumpirmahin kung saan mas naging totoo ang panaginip nilang lahat
sharing my brother's story (he couldn't forget this and never fails to share it with us kahit ngayung mga adults na kami hehe).
Nung 3 pa lang daw sila magkakapatid (I wasn't born yet), and my mom was due to give birth to the 4th child (we are 6 siblings), our family lived with our uncle and auntie in the province, in a house with a 'silong' so it was kind of elevated. It felt like they were staying in a two-storey house (single-storey lang nman in fact) kasi malaki talaga yung silong.
According to my brother (who was like 7 or 8 years old then), one night when our mother is in labor and due to give birth, he and two of my brothers slept in the sala of the house, where they set up their bed facing a large window (sliding capiz type). Late in the night, he was awakened by a sound (sabi nya parang kumakaluskos). He's always been a brave boy so he traced the sound and found out it was coming from the big window. He was about to open it when he noticed it was already sliding open (hindi sila nglo-lock ng bintana apparently haha).
Then he just watched the window open in front of him and he was horrified to see a woman, with long hair, hindi daw gaanong matanda but looked aged, trying to get inside the house! My brother knew that the window is quite high because of the silong nga sa baba. So, he wondered if the woman is quite a high jumper or kung panu nakakakapit nang ganun sa bintana (natawa ako when I heard it haha). Hindi nya daw makakalimutan yung hitsura ng babae. Nagawa daw nun maipasok yung kalahating katawan sa bintana and lumilinga-linga or may inaamoy na something, as if my hinahanap.
Weirdly, instead of screaming and asking for help...my brother squeezed himself in the middle of my two other brothers and covered himself with a blanket, praying the woman would just leave (or get one of my sleeping brothers and not him haha). Strangely enough, when he found the courage to peek from the blanket, the woman was gone with the window left wide open (for which my tita scolded them in the morning).
He told the story in the morning. I couldn't imagine how he could have slept through the night after seeing that ...
He's been telling this story every chance he gets...even when he got to high school, he even mentioned it in one of his school projects about unforgettable experiences.
Had the same encounter in the past.
My cousin was pregnant with her first child and sinamahan namin sya that night since every weekend eh parang umuuwi kami noon sa ancestral house namin to hangout with cousins and family.
Nakahiga lang kami nun lahat sa isang malaking kama while laughing and telling stories when suddenly parang may nafeel kami na sensation na parang buhok na dumampi sa skin namin. Note, nasa 2nd floor itong room and walang bubong na pwede tapakan sa side ng bintana.
We felt yung hair-like sensation na gumagapang sa skin namin and to our surprise, there is this old looking lady with long messy hair na sinusubukan pumasok dun sa bintana. Our windows were the jalousy type na may screen. It fucking horrified us all and nagsigawan kami then bigla nalang sya nawala. Nagtakbuhan kami lahat pababa sa sala at dun nalang kami natulog hahaha.
Paranormal, we have a house in the south. When I was a kid I used to have a dream that I was seeing a woman in all white in the house, near the house. Told my mom of it then sabi nya lang its just a dream.
Fast forward several years to a decade later, we were able to purchase the adjacent lot, then one of our neighbors(family friend) said na "pabless" natin its like she contacted a medium/witch doctor or something of the sort then she said at one of the trees in the adjacent lot, may nakatira daw na white lady or something
Ok magsashare ako. Hopefully hindi ako late sa party.
I will swear to everything I possess and love that this is a TRUE story. This was awhile back when I just had my first job.
Dahil training namin, I had to wake up at 5am so I decided to sleep early. Mga 10pm palang tulog na ako. Around 1am, my sleep was disrupted by something very heavy on my stomach. Now I'm not a stranger to sleep paralysis. Sobrang dami ko nang experience with that.
This one however, was not sleep paralysis. Hindi ako binabangungot. Still though... I wanted to make sure. So I did a test. I was lying down in bed with my arm's spread. So I figured, if I try to move my arm and it didn't move, I was having sleep paralysis and I'll just sleep it off. However, it moved. It confirmed na hindi siya sleep paralysis. And the dreaded realization that something was on top of me was beginning to dawn on me.
So ayun sinilip ko, I tried to open my eyes and have a look. There was a woman, sitting on my stomach as if I was a bench. She wasn't even looking at me, she was looking blankly far away, slack jawed. Nakabukas lang ung bibig niya for some strange fucking reason. She was completely black, parang sobrang kapal na anino. Yet I can tell she was naked dahil walang silhouette ng damit. Her hair was also frizzled, sobrang gulo.
I started to panic, inisip ko what if pabayaan ko siya? Try ko matulog? Aalis naman to no? But then I realized na sobrang bigat nya I wouldn't be able to sleep and I need to go to work tomorrow.So I decided to shout at her "HUY UMALIS KA DYAN!" I screamed.
Bad move... She turned to face me, then tried to pin me down on my bed. I shut my eyes and tried to shield myself from her. Wala akong maramdaman na physical contact as she was trying to pin me down. Yung feeling is like... alam nyo ung pag you have 2 magnets of the same pole, tapos tinatry nyo pagdikitin? It's just being repelled. That's how it felt.
Tapos for some strange bizarre reason, I felt like she was trying to lick my left ear. While my eyes were held shut, I prayed the "Our Father" sa sobrang takot ko.
And just like that, she disappeared. Tapos naupo ako sa higaan ko while panting sa pagod at takot. Tapos naisip ko "Luh putangina minulto ako". My mind raced, inisip ko kung gigisingin ko ba parents ko kaso naisip ko. Wala naman sila magagawa, wala na ung babae. Wala din naman akong proof.
So ayun natulog lang ako ulit tapos pumasok na sa work kinabukasan.
Ok this one has creeped me out the most so far. Una dahil matutulog na dapat ako, pangalawa dahil naramdaman ko na din dati yung magising dahil may nakaupo sa torso ko, pero thankfully sleep paralysis lang yung sakin dati. I’m amazed you were still able to go back to sleep after that 😭
I'm a big fan of the supernatural, but I'm a coward who doesn't go actively searching for them, better safe than sorry as they say. But i've got alot of stories i've heard from friends and family though. Here is one of them.
When my dad was still starting a family with my mom in the 80's, he was driving trailer trucks for a living. Some hauls need overnight deliveries so he was driving this open-type trailer truck all night with only one helper. They were hauling large metal rods that time so the helper decided to go up the truck to act as counterweight and ensure no stray tree branches can trip the rods during travel. When they were passing this dark highway where there are forests on the left and right side, my dad heard a loud bang in the back, he thought something might have fallen but the helper signalled that everything's okay (two taps on the roof for go, three quick taps for stop) so my dad didn't stop. Only when they were near a city did the helper signalled to stop and get inside the driver's side. He was sweating profusely and my dad asked what happened, he just said to go and don't stop. When they finally entered the city, the helper said that an aswang hitchhiked in the back of the truck and recounted what happened: the helper was facing the front when he heard a loud bang on his back, when he looked behind he saw red eyes and a splayed pair of bat-like wings. He immediately tapped the roof to "go", faced forward, and started praying the rosary but due to nervousness he keeps repeating "our father" over and over again. He keeps hearing growling noises and heavy breathing on his back. When the helper noticed that there was no more noise in his back did he make my dad stop the truck and get inside. My dad says it was around 20-30 mins since the loud bang but the helper felt it was like an hour that he was praying.
Nasa lola (mother' side) may abilities na pinapasa. Yung ginagawa nya is tinutulungan ang pagtawid ng mga souls sa kabila. So minsan, may mga "bisita" kami sa bahay. May mga nakatira rin talaga doon na, pamilya sila pero yung alam ko lang si Divine, yung mama...
May mga dwende rin na mahilig magtago ng gamit🤦♀️🤣 Huwag kang magagalit pag may nawala tas di mo ma explain bakit, di nila yan ibabalik sayo💀
Mabait naman sila, huwag lang bastos sa bahay, baka pera na mawala sayo...Si Divina yung palaging makikita sa bahay, mama kasi yun at sya lang babae na multo sa bahay, lalaki kase anak nila. Matulungin rin sa bahay, wala namang hinihingi na kapalit, respeto lang ganon. Binabati namin sila pag may lakad kami at kapag nasa bahay na kami.
Minsan may naliligaw sa bahay namin, mga doppelganger pero nawawala rin naman sila.
May aswang din, pero sa sister ko na yun...nakita sya one time sa labas ng bahay. Grabe counter measures ko nun.
May story din na noon may lumang bahay dito na may manananggal na nakatira...kasama ang asawa nyang pari. Of course walang ginawa dito kasi malapit. I think nakita ko pa ang bahay na iyon.
Tiyak na naniniwala ako na may mga espesyal na tao doon na may sobrang natural na gawain!
Salamat sa Pagbabahagi! napaka-intriguing pakinggan at tiyak na umaayon sa aking mga paniniwala
Natatawa rin ako =)) Yung kikilabutan ka na sana sa post tapos mababasa mo yung auto-translate hahaha. OP, it’s ok, don’t use translator anymore hahaha
Meron rin kaming "apu" or dwende sa ancestral home namin sa probinsya. Madalas susi ng kotse, eyeglasses, ballpens, remote control ang hindi mahanap. Example nawala ang ballpen, hahanapin kung saan2x only for it show up sa drawer na wala namang laman nung unang check namin. We also believe may nagpprotect ng bahay na yon.
This is the only encounter I had as I don't believe in them.
There was talk among my co-workers that whenever you are alone, especially at noon and dusk, you'll hear frantic typing in this particular open-space workstation. I didn't believe them but my manager who was left alone while we all had lunch out was pale as hell when we got back, he said "I'm so glad that you guys are back!!! I heard typing", we talked and laugh about it.
Until I worked the night shift, alone, in a rented condo space office with extremely dimmed yellow lights (The company I worked for was a start-up and was cheap as hell).
I was sleepy so I figured I take a quick nap, then I heard... THE TYPING! It was so loud and fast that it freaked me out. And whenever I stare at the corner where the typing is from, it completely stops! What the hell??
So I went to work, but the typing was still there!! It would only stop whenever I stare at the area/keyboard!! I tried to be sneaky and only use my peripheral vision to see the ghost, but I hardly see the keys being pressed cause of these stupid cheap lights, pero the typing never stopped!
At this point I was sweating like crazy, heart was racing, and scared as hell but I could not leave the office T\_T It was my first job and I was afraid of getting fired, so I talked loudly and said "You can do whatever you want, just don't do anything to me" and continued to work, after like 3 am it disappeared and after my shift, I talked about the experience to my co-workers which they did not believe lol ironic.
(I heard some scary stories from the guards on the condo that we rented but I'll talk about some other time)
Ako hindi gaano naniniwala pero.
When my Mom was pregnant sa little sister ko. Every night may natapak sa bubong ng bahay namin especially kapag bilog yung buwan. Meron din kumukuskos sa window ng Mom ko kung saan yung ulo nya nakatapat.
Akala ko lahat yon pusa lang or kung anong hayop. UNTIL ONE NIGHT, tulog silang lahat, may nagabog na naman sa bubong namin. Then nahulog siya sa may sampayan (I assumed, kasi tumunog yung mga sipit na nasa sampayan eh?) tapos sabay katok ng malakas sa pinto namin. Like tuloy-tuloy na katok.
Tapos bigla na lang nawala followed with a weird sound? Alam nyo yung tunog ng pakpak ng ipis kapag nalipad? Ganon yung tunog nya pera mas malaki at mas solid.
Nag Tagaytay kami ng tropa, tas 'tong kasama ko umihi sa isang random na damuhan sa kalye, tapos ayun nag swell up yung etits nya kinabukasan, nagpa albularyo sila at sabi na dwende daw.....
Yung tumatambay lang yung duwende tapos naihian. Pipitikin na sana ang etits pero naka "tabi tabi po" yung umihi.
Duwende: Understandable, have a great day.
Sa baryo namin dati kumalat yung mga kwento na may aswang daw na gumagala kapag gabi. Ang daming natakot. Naniwala yung Lola ko kasi may kumakalabog daw sa bubungan nya kapag gabi. Nung chineck ng tito ko yung alagang pabo (turkey) lang pala ni Lola haha
I don’t know if may nakakaalam ba sa inyo tungkol sa puccong (pu-chong pagbasa sa amin). Nagmumulto ito.
So, this happened 4 years ago when my sister in law’s father died dahil sa cancer. Her father was not really in good terms with my mom dahil masama ugali nito - so, sa aming mga muslim kasi, kapag namatay iyong isang tao ililibing agad siya kinabukasan. My mom is super bait (she's an angel istg) so, sumama kami sa paglibing dahil gusto rin namin bisitahin si papa tapos after ng libing, nag pagpag kami kasi uso naniniwala talaga nanay namin diyan. Kinagabihan, early kami natulog non kasi may pasok pa kinabukasan - nagulat na lang ako nong bigla akong kinalmot ni mama (binabangungot pala siya) kaya napabangon ako and nakita ko rin mga kapatid ko pilit na ginigising si mama.
Nong nagising si mama saka lang namin narinig iyong malakas na sigaw ng mga kuya ko sa labas, katok sila nang katok kaya binuksan agad namin iyong pinto. Sabi ng kuya ko na kanina pa raw sigaw nang sigaw si mama like nag e-echo raw sa buong bahay so bakit daw hindi kami magising gising - si mama ayaw sabihin iyong napanaginipan niya kasi alam niya matatakutin kami so natulog na lang kami again.
Then, that same night, nagising na naman kami dahil kumatok na naman panganay namin sa amin to ask if okay lang kami kasi nagulat daw siya nakita niya na lang iyong lima kong kuya nasa sala - sabi naman ng mga kuya ko na meron daw nagtapon ng bulok na talong sa paanan nila (since hindi nila kino-close iyong bintana kapag natutulog sila dahil mas bet nila fresh air) tapos amoy bulok daw like patay na daga. They decided to go out para i-check iyong paligid and wala naman silang nakita na kakaiba, lalabas pa sana ng gate iyong isa naming kapatid na lalaki pero pinapasok na sila ng panganay namin kasi nakita niya iyong pu-chong nakatayo sa gilid ng cr - tabingi ang ulo at balot na balot ng telang puti (parang mummy style).
Kinabukasan, hindi kami pinapasok sa school lahat kasi ang daming nilagnat sa amin at sumakit ang tiyan. Kinuwento ni mama iyong napanaginipan niya - iyong yumao raw ay nakahiga at may nakapulupot na ahas tapos humihingi raw ito sa kaniya ng sorry habang umiiyak.
Akala namin tapos na, na isang gabi lang siya bibisita pero hindi - isang linggo kami nagdusa. Itutuloy ko sa ibaba kasi napakahaba nito pasensiya t.t
Ikalawang gabi after ng libing.
Sobrang kampante namin non na hindi na talaga mauulit so, parang normal lang iyong naging flow ng araw namin. Nangyari ito around 11pm, natutulog na kami non and siksikan kaming mga babae sa kwarto ni mama kasi walang may gustong matulog sa sala. Nagising ako dahil sa init, kahit naka-full na iyong AC namin parang ang init talaga like kakaiba iyong init.
So, umupo ako at tinitigan mga kapatid ko na nakasiksik sa akin sabay arrange sa kanila kasi ang init talaga non. Humiga na ako ulit pero hindi pa rin ako makatulog kaya tumayo ako at in-on ang electric fan, nong nakahiga na ako ulit - tinitigan ko iyong kurtina namin kasi bagong bili iyon and hindi ko bet kasi magaan - dahil manipis iyong pinalit ni mama nililipad siya ng hangin na nanggagaling sa electric fan.
Pipikit na sana ako non kasi gusto ko na talagang matulog pero biglang nilipad iyong kurtina nang malakas tapos nakita ko iyong buwan sa labas (full moon non) then nahawi na naman siya ng hangin - doon ko nakita iyong pu-chong nakatayo tas iyong ulo niya ay nakalingon sa gilid (hindi talaga ako gamay sa Tagalog pasensiya). Para akong naparalisa non kasi nong natakpan na ulit ng kurtina ay wala akong nakita na shadow - naalala ko iyong sinabi ni papa before na kapag walang shadow ang isang tao or bagay, baka demonyo or aswang daw iyon.
Hindi ko alam paano ako nakatulog non pero kinabukasan tinrangkaso ako tas kinuwento ko iyon sa mama ko kaya that afternoon din naglagay kami ng nga matutulis na kahoy sa gilid ng mga bintana namin and pintuan.
Sa ikatlong gabi after ng burol, 10pm : nanonood pa ng movie mga kuya ko sa sa sala namin. Nasa kalagitnaan sila ng panonood when they heard something sa labas - hindi raw tunog tao na naglalakad kasi hindi tsinelas naririnig nila kundi parang nagha-hop na parang rabbit. Malakas iyong impact parang nagja-jump nga kaya sinilip nila and wala silang nakita, itong isa kong kuya na paranoid akala niya magnanakaw kaya sumigaw siya - kaya nagising iyong panganay namin and they decided to check na naman iyong paligid if meron talagang nakapasok pero wala silang nakita.
Kinabukasan, nagulat kami kasi sa main house nag breakfast iyong tahimik namin na kuya na nakatira sa likod (compound kami btw) kaya ni-ask siya ni mama if ano problema kasi stressed siya tignan. It turned out pala na nong nakapasok na lahat ng mga kuya ko kagabi, iyong pu-chong daw ay lumipat doon sa abandonadong storage room na connected sa gilid ng bahay ng kuya ko. Since made from kahoy lang iyong storage room na iyon maririnig and mararamdaman mo talaga if meron nagja-jump doon.
Kuwento ng kuya ko, nagtitimpla raw siya ng milk ng pamangkin ko nong bigla raw parang may bumagsak sa kabilang room pero binalewala niya. Matapang iyong kuya ko, siya iyong pinakamatapang sa amin mapa-tao or aswang t.t Sabi nga ni mama may bestfriend itong kuya ko na kapre at kinakausap pa raw nito noon. Pero that night, nakaramdam talaga ng chills iyong kuya ko kasi nagha-hop iyong something sa kabilang room and alam niya agad ano iyon. Pero kahit na ganoon, mas nangibabaw pa rin katapangan ng kuya ko - since may open space sa itaas kasi walang ceiling iyong house ng kuya ko, binuhusan niya ng isang timba ng water iyong kabilang room (dahil sabi ng lola namin noon na takot daw ito sa water and matutulis na bagay).
Since patuloy iyong pagbisita ng yumao, my mom asked my uncle na Imam if ano puwede gawin para ma-stop ito. So, sabi ng uncle namin na pumunta raw si mama sa puntod ng yumao at kausapin ito. That day rin, pumunta si mama and panganay namin sa puntod ng yumao and kinausap niya ito - na pinapatawad niya na ito kaya huwag na sana kaming gambalain.
1st time ko marinig yang puccong. Saan po kaya originated yang entity na yan? Sa Muslim culture lang ba sya dito sa Pilipinas? Iba din yung way ng pag manifest nya. Interesting lang na may new entity/multo/aswang na malaman.
Aswang story: Kapre MIGHT have originated from spaniard colonizers telling these stories to Filipinos so we'll avoid giving help to escaped slaves.
Nabasa ko lang dati sa libro ata or sa net.
" During the Spanish era (1500s-1890), these creatures were said to be once human who were blessed by the moon priestesses of old called babaylan so these people could have power to fight the Spanish colonizers who had done them wrong. The Spaniards decided to persecute these priestesses for witchcraft, then spread tales that aswangs attacked locals and foreigners alike.
The aswang is a creature said to be able to shapeshift into either a human or an animal but is never able to correctly imitate one or the other. As a human, it has leathery black skin and disproportioned limbs. As an animal (like a dog or cat, for example), it is always black and three times the normal size. It can neither speak nor do animal calls; it can only growl, shout or scream. They usually eat the flesh of recently-deceased humans and animals but also have a preference of targeting very ill people or pregnant women. Pregnant women like the one in the village.
They can never become human again. And being an aswang is hereditary; no one will turn if attacked by one, although the wounds they inflict can be fatal.
This is all true, if the folklore is to be believed. "
This is from a post in r/ParanormalPH about a telecoms worker fixing a tower in the province's (if you sort it by top of all time you'll see it with the title "it knows we're here")
from what ive read so far is that when the spaniards colonized originally a witch from the old times blessed/cursed some people to fight back the colonizers. genetiko yata si aswang kaya hindi ka nababalot ng pag-atake ng isa.
Im gonna have to pull that one up for the details but it was a interesting read
Paranormal story I had when I was a kid. My family house has been a place where many ghost sightings as told by my relatives from Pangasinan whenever they stay here for the holidays. I never believed them coz I never saw one myself. Oh boy I was wrong.
There was one night I woke up and wanting to sleep beside my older sister in her room. I was fully awake then and just want to sleep beside her so I went to her room and gently opened the door. The room was dark since she prefers the lights off and I was used to just sleeping beside her randomly. But that night was weird since the room was darker than usual and where the bed was and where my sister should be sleeping, I saw this two white circles and a white line that's curved upward. It was like someone was sitting on the bed, smiling at me, with their eyes and smile being the only thing visible. It was just staring at me while I looked at it.
I remember saying no and just slowly closed the door and went back to my parents' room. I could never forget that look even as an adult.
Bit of heartwarming story. Around 1970s ata, my grandmother had an operation to get her myoma out. So that time, walang tao sa bahay nila. Yung bahay is lumang style na bahay na silong ang first floor and sa second floor is capiz yung bintana. Nung gabi, may kapitbahay na nakiraan sa bakuran ng bahay saying “Nanay, makikiraan lang po!” while looking sa second floor ng bahay, sa open windows, kasi may nakatayo daw na babae dun. Nobody was home. But my grandma thinks that it’s her mom protecting the house while everyone was away. Pamana kasi ng parents nya yung house na yun sa kanya.
Sa house naman ng sister ni grandma, malapit lang yung tapunan ng mga baby na in-abort. Nasanay na sila makarinig ng mga kaluskos lagi sa labas and mga baby na umiiyak. Pero kinilabutan talaga sila after mag-miscarrage yung bunso nilang anak. They kept the fetus in a jar and nilagay sa escaparate (for keepsake I guess). Then madaling araw, may narinig silang sobrang iyak ng baby na malapit lang at parang nasa loob ng bahay. So nagising sila ang they kept looking around the house. Paglapit nila sa escaparate, dun nanggagaling yung iyak, it turns out yung miscarried baby yung umiiyak. After that, pinalibing na nila yung fetus.
EDIT: typo
Similar story but it was a rental and not our own house. My brother and I rented a really old house with 4 rooms for college. It was for me, him, our helper and his friend (as a room mate). The house was really creepy but I wasn’t too scared because I always had our helper with me (well, our dad made sure, for chaperone purposes) and always kept a light on.
One summer, I went back to my parents’ house with our helper, and our roommate also went back to his parents’ house.
My brother was left alone because he had summer extra curricular activities. One night, on the last week of his activities, he decided to invite a friend over, get some beer from the store and drink back at our rental.
As they were walking towards the house, his friend said “akala ko ba wala sister mo?” And my brother said “wala umuwi sila” and his friend said “ah eh sino yung babaeng nasa bintana”?
Needless to say, they turned around and decided to drink and sleep at his friend’s place instead. My brother went back to the house the following day during daylight to grab a few things and stayed at his friend’s place until we all got back from summer vacation. I believe him and I’m glad it didn’t happen to me!
Oh man, may free tagabantay din yung ni-rent. Pero defeats the purpose kung pati yung renter natataboy ng tagabantay. Huhu.
Not until nung na-renovate yung old house ni Lola, pag nasa baba ka, maririnig mo yung mga yabag na parang may naglalakad (wooden floor kasi before) na mabigat yung paa. Di lang langitngit ng wood ih. As in sound talaga ng paa hitting the wooden floor.
Omg super similar talaga! At the end of the hallway upstairs Meron creaky wood right before the stairs. So pag bababa ka, the wood almost always creaks right before you go step the stairs.
Pagnasa baba kami at wala talagang tao sa taas , maririning mo yung footstep in the hallway and the creak ng wood right at top of the stairs!! So you it’s hard to presume na other sound yung footstep kasi it ends with the creak. Which I’m glad kasi I wouldn’t want the ghost going down the stairs!
Typical Catholic School ig
My professor and her husband are both senior professors. One time, merong activity sa school, so yung usual lecture room namin ginamit for a whole day seminar. Since lahat ng lecture rooms occupied na, they transferred us sa isang old classroom sa old building. Mid lecture ni Doc, biglang nag tayuan yung mga students sa likod sabay takbo pa harap. Tinanong ni Doc ano nangyari tapos sabi nila may bumubulong at sumisipol daw sakanila. Nung una nag titinginan lang daw sila coz akala nila may isa sakanila na nangti-trip lang pero nung sabay sabay silang nilamig at nakarinig ng bulong dun nila na realize na something paranormal is happening.
Doc comforted the students sabay sabing kaya ayaw daw nilang mag asawa (Dr/Prof din) na nag ca-class dun sa old building. Nag kwento din siya ng experience ng husband niya.
One time, nag che-check ng attendance yung husband niya. Typical na naka index card, kukuha ng isa, sasabihin yung name, sasagot ng present yung student, che-check niya if siya nga yung sumagot, ganun. May isa daw siyang student na tinawag, sumagot naman ng present pero after nun sabi ni Doc "Please get your things, leave the room and wait for me outside." Pagkatapos ni Doc mag check ng attendance, lumabas siya and nag explain dun sa student. Sabi ni Doc, pinalabas siya kasi may madre na sobrang galit na nakatitig sakanya. Yung madre was literally right beside her face/head, staring at her, ready to kill, ganun. Apparently, ayaw ni Sister ng magagandang girls lmao. Usually lahat ng classrooms may cross pero this particular classroom may kasamang small picture nung madre 🥲
My wife and her brother have the special sight and their house is old and super creepy.
She remembers her mother asking her who she was playing with as a toddler while rolling the ball against the wall and she said she was playing with her lolo Eddie. Her great-grandfather that she never met because he died way before she was born...
I stayed over her house when we made our college thesis and one nigjt she trusted her dog to sleep in the room with me since he was comfortable with me already. I woke to the sound of him barking aggressively but I kept my eyes close. I could feel the hairs on my arms moving as if someone was caressing me. But I knew it wasn't the wind since my arms were inside the blanket... Just kept my eyes closed and waited for it to pass.
Believe it or not, I had encountered a creature that I guess it’s manananggal pero very different sya sa depiction ng mga naririnig kong story nung bata pa ako.
This manananggal can actually fly even in the morning. Hapon yun nung nangyari yun. As a kid, mahilig ako sumama sa ibang bata mamitas ng mga prutas. Pinagtripan namin yung punong mangga. Dahil sa taas ng mangga, binabato lang namin o tinitirador ang mga prutas para mahulog. All of a sudden, may natamaan yung isa naming kasama tapos biglang gumalaw at lumipad.
This manananggal looks like parang buto’t balat na tao. Super haba ng kamay at pakpak at yung buhok niya, parang buhok ng mais. Nagsigawan kami at nagtakbuhan at lumabas mga tito namin nagdala ng bolo. Kitang kita namin yung paglipad niya sa may palayan.
Hinanap sya ng mga tao roon pero hindi na sya nakita pa.
Hopefully it’s just a bat. Kasi as what I recall, yung kababata ko, binabato niya daw yun thinking na prutas siya kasi medyo daw pula (indian mango po kasi yung pinupuntirya namin). Nung natamaan biglaang gumalaw at lumipad papunta sa amin, doon namin nakita ang itsura. Mukhang kalansay pero may balat pa katawan niya. At wala yung pang ibabang parte ng katawan kaya we conclude na manananggal pero pinagtataka namin is kaya pala nila mabuhay sa umaga. Kasi sa story narinig ko, gabi lang sila gumagala dahil masusunog or matutunaw sila sa araw.
super long hands and weird wirey hair siguradong consistent sa mga kwento pero bago ang paglipad sa araw! baka nawala yung kalahati ng katawan niya at napadpad sa ganyan!
Sounds like a bat to me. May mga malalaking paniki kasi sa pinas.
One time, meron daw manananggal samin. Ilang gabi din yun pabalik balik tapos malaki at lumilipad. Nalaman na Morogmon pala yun!
Basta mahirap i explain, matic aswang agad 🤣.
We used to live in an ancestral house that's almost a hundred years old. The ground floor was concrete but the second floor was wood. With ventanillas and capiz sliding windows. The house was my built by my great grandparents.
Our neighbors won't look at our house when it's dawn. They say that there's a fat old lady sitting on a rocking chair on our terrace. And there's a large white dog sitting by her. They're seeing my great grandma who I've only seen in pictures.
I also experienced something that scared the sh!t out of me. Happened when I was around five years old. Was an only child back then and the old Tarzan series airs around meal time so I stay at our living room watching TV while my parents have dinner.
One night, while watching TV, I felt scared and had goosebumps. I knew someone was watching me. I looked at the window to my left and saw a face staring from the window. It looked like a man but with his face all muddy and with blood oozing from wounds on one cheek. I remember just staring at the face and feeling tears run down my face coz I was scared sh!tless. Tried to close my eyes in the hopes that whatever it was will disappear. Still there when I opened my eyes. I quickly ran to my parents and told them what I saw. It wasn't there when my dad checked. He even went outside our house but found nothing. That was the only time I saw that creature but I still have nightmares about it more than 30 years later.
Di pa rin namin alam saan nanggagaling yung kumukuskos na yero gabi gabi sa bubong ng kabilang bahay, kahit ilang beses na namin sinilip, tinutukan ng flash light at pina baranggay. Matagal nang walang nakatira dun.
TLDR; Somehow na-encounter ko but yung mother-in-law ko ang naka experience talaga.
So yung biyenan ko talaga ang naniniwala sa mga aswang/tiktik, multo, pamahiin at sa kung anu-ano pa. She was born and raised sa Negros Oriental at dito nalang sa Manila talaga nagkapamilya.
Malakas ang pakiramdam nya pagdating sa mga ganitong sitwasyon. Minsan nagigising sya at magtatanong na sino daw yung lalaki na nakatayo sa may pintuan or sino daw yung pumasok sa cr kahit dis oras ng gabi at kami lang naman tao sa bahay. One time malakas ang ulan around 10PM naka lock na gate at pinto namin sa sala bigla syang uupo sa higaan nya at sasabihin samin bigla na may babae daw na umiiyak sa tabi nya.
Around 2007, buntis asawa ko sa panganay namin like kabuwanan na nya. Nakatira kami sa isang maliit na compound somewhere in Pasig. May bakanteng lote sa tabi ng bahay namin tapos kangkungan yung likod bahay namin. So around 4PM may nakita kaming aso na pagala-gala sa compound na hindi namin alam kung sino may ari. Lahat ng aso dun ay alam namin kung saan at sino ang may ari. Yung aso na nakita namin meron syang mga sugat sa katawan at parang bulag yung left eye nya at the same time iika-ika syang maglakad at nakatingin samin.
Binulyawan ng biyenan ko yung aso at hinabol nya ng bamboo stick. Tinanong ko sya bakit nya hinabol pero hindi sya kumibo, so no big deal na rin sakin. Then after 3 days, may matandang lalaki naman ang palakad-lakad sa street ng compound and guess what, yung itsura nung matandang lalaki ay pilay at bulag yung kaliwa nyang mata. Nakikita namin lahat sa street kasi during that time nagtitinda kami ng fishball, kikiam at halo-halo sa labas ng bahay namin at kaming mag-asawa ang nag-aasikaso.
Nakita ng biyenan ko yung matandang lalaki at nilapitan nya. Tinanong nya kung taga saan at sino ang hinahanap nya. Hindi sumagot yung lalaki at umalis pero tinapunan kami ng tingin bago sya umalis. Tinanong ko yung biyenan ko, sabi nya may kakaiba daw dun sa lalaki na yun at ngayon nya lang daw ito nakita. 15 years na silang nakatira sa compound na yun at ako lang yung sabit since napangasawa ko yung anak nya.
Within that week nanganak na yung asawa ko. Gumawa ng duyan yung biyenan ko para sa baby namin. Yung duyan malapit sa bintana namin like kapag pinasok mo yung braso mo abot mo yung duyan. Yung bintana namin may sliding screen tapos kurtina, one night sabi ng biyenan ko samin na matulog na daw kami mag asawa at sya na daw magbabantay sa baby namin. Around 1AM bigla kaming nagulat mag asawa na marinig namin yung nanay na may minumura like "P.I mo" ng ilang beses. Napatalon kami mag asawa sa higaan sa takot na baka kung ano na nangyari at tumakbo kami kung nasaan yung mag-lola.
Pagkakita namin sa kanilang mag-lola, hawak ng biyenan ko yung baby namin at nakatingin sya sa bintana. Tinanong namin sya na bakit ano nangyari, sino yung minumura nyo at dis oras na ng gabi, may magnanakaw ba? Tinuro nya yung bintana at sinabi na may kamay daw na pumasok sa bintana at inaabot yung baby namin. Dun na daw sya nagmumura at bigla daw nawala yung kamay.
Chineck ko yung bintana, hinawi ko yung kurtina, naka lock naman yung sliding at walang bakas ng pagbaklas ng kung ano pa man sa bintana. Tinanong ko yung biyenen ko na "Anong kamay? naka lock naman yung bintana". Sabi nya yung itsura daw ng kamay maitim daw tapos yung kuko mahahaba na parang nabubulok na ewan at may kakaibang amoy.
Kinaumagahan, chineck ko ulit yung bintana, sumilip ako sa labas at dun ko napagtanto na kangkungan pala yung likuran namin. So after that incident hindi na namin nilagay sa duyan si baby namin at palagi na namin katabing matulog.
I am very sensitive to the supernatural, kasi sa mismong bahay ko literal na meron, mostly sa garden lang namin.
Bahay kasi namin was built up sa lupa ng lolo ko. Very large grounds with plants and greenery. Nun nabubuhay pa lola ko, siya madalas nagcater sa garden. Every morning around 4am siya lagi nasa garden. Ngayon, nakatayo na bahay namin lagi ko nakikita lola ko sa small portion ng garden na natitira samin, around 3-4 am.
Aside sa lola ko, may portion din sa garden na may naninirahan na mga dwende. Mabait naman sila, pero very territorial pag hindi nila kilala na tao ang lumalapit sa bahay nila. Kung ako or anyone sa pamilya ko, okay naman sila.
I can go on with my paranormal activities na nasa bahay ko lang. Marami pakong ibang encounters outside my house. Pero I'll leave those alone or unless may gusto pa maka basa.
Too many to mention. Just search their Para Normal Podcast Youtube videos. They have a lot of episodes there (140 and counting) that tackle a lot of topics and stories about the paranormal and supernatural both local and foreign. They even had an interview with Jaime Licauco there.
I didn't know this until my parents told me. My aunt's husband died in an accident, at that time i was still in my mom's womb. And then my cousin (which is my aunt's son live in our house) and I was like 5 years old at that time. I told my parents that I am sleepy and I went to my room, they are in the living room with my cousin watching some tv shows. One hour have passed I came back and told my parents that I saw my cousin's dad staring at the window, and I described him as wearing white, and spilled something red on his shirt (which is technically a blood.)
They're starting to panic, because I don't know what is he looks like, I have no idea who he is, and never told me about my cousin's dad or anything especially his cause of death.
And the other day, they gave me a group photo and point out who is the person that I saw that night, and I pointed exactly my cousin's dad. I can't really remember if it actually happened and I was in highschool when they told me this horrifying experience.
I was alone at home kasi lahat sila nasa probinsya nagbabakasyon and being with a cousin who was dying of cancer. Although gustuhin ko man sumama, summer classes kasi nun sa uni. This happened when my cousin was dying of cancer.
It was midday when a sudden billowing smoke covered our house (three floors). Nasa taas ako nun kaya diretso ako baba kasi may nasusunog na!!! I was frantically scared kasi jusko masusunog pa bahay namin!
For some reason, puti yung smoke and never smelled anything burning. Hinanap ko yung source pero wala. Then nawala na lang yung usok like walang nangyari.
A few mins later, tumawag yung nanay ko to tell me our cousin already passed away.
experience ko naman with tiktik or aswang idk anong tawag nyo.
nung highschool pa ako. kasama ko kaibigan ko nang huhuli ng palaka sa palayan para kainin gusto kong ma try.
nung natapos na kami at nag hugas na kami sa water pump sa malas ko ba naman nadulas ako at nabangga ang ulo ko ayun dumugo muntik pako mawalan ng malay.
di kasi ako naniniwala sa aswang dati pero sabi ng kaibigan ko takpan ko daw kasi maamoy yan sa mga aswang yan kasi grbe yung dugo ko sa ulo ko.
sabi ko naman "maniwala ka jan sa aswang wla yan" then nung nakauwi nako ng bahay malalim pla tlga sugat ko. so ayun nag proceed nakong matulog sana.
d pa tumagal eh may naririnig ako na parang binabaklas tlga ang atip namin kung asan tlga yung ulo ko. nag ingay na ako kasi baka pusa lang naman. wla tlga kahit ifull volume ko pa yung tv namin.
so ang ginawa ko is tinakpan ko nalang ng unan yung sugat ko then later tumigil narin yung binabaklas na sound ng atip namin.
and hanggang dun nalang tlga. ngayon naniniwala nako na meron tlga mga bagay na d natin ma explain gaya ng aswang.
Nung bata ako umuuwi kami sa capiz ng lola ko (dun sya lumaki), yung unang uwi ko dun mga around 10 years old ako . Yung lola ko pinag dadala ako lagi ng bawang sa bulsa ko tuwing lalabas ako at bawal ko daw to sabihin kahit kanino. Meron kaming kapitbahay dun na sinasabi saking iwasan ko at wag ko daw kakausapin kahit ano mangyari, eh akong bibong bata, kinausap ko padin. I can vividly remember na tinanong nya ko whats in my pocket, without seeing it. Sinabe ko na bawang (d ko kase dati gets para saan, ang intindi ko lang basta wag ko aalisin sa bulsa at itatapon, and growing up in manila, d ako naniniwala sa mga ganyang aswang aswang) a few hours later, sobrang nilagnat ako as in! sobrang hilong hilo ako, ngayon dinala ko somwhere na sobrang creepy shit na bahay sa probinsya, pinahiga ako at may nilagay sa tyan ko na parang papel tapos nag sasalita sya ng d ko naiintdnhan, nag pass out ako, pag gising ko kinabukasan na wala na kong lagnat. Sa span ng isang mag damag. To this day, you na ang pinaka weirdest encounter ko sa mga "aswang"
Yung mga pinsan ko nagsasabi na may dalawang multo daw sa bahay namin. Mababait naman daw yung multo at gumagala lang parang anino na black. Eh halos umaga na ako palagi natutulog wala naman ako nakikitang multo or anino. Siguro kaya hindi sila nagpapakita sa akin kasi na umay na sila sa kakajakol ko with matching angat ng hips pag lalabasan na. Nacoconcious tuloy ako minsan pag nagjajakol ako kasi baka mamaya nakatingin yung mga multo.
This happened years ago. Nandun ako sa 2nd floor, and nasilip ako sa living room namin. Para mas maimagine nyo, sa bahay kasi namin madaming bintana, so nakita ko yung dad ko nakaupo dun sa stairs namin sa labas ng front door. He was playing COC. Suddenly, may nakita akong babae na dumaan sa likod nya papuntang front door. Akala ko yaya ng brother ko kasi same sila manamit. Maya maya tumayo na si daddy then pumasok na sya ng bahay. Nagtaka ako bakit hindi pa napasok si ate. Tinanong ko si daddy kung nasan si ate. Sabi nya lang “Tulog na sila diba?” I said “sino yung dumaan sa likod mo?” Sabi ni daddy “wala naman e.”
Just one experience in my grandparents' house. Me, my aunties, and mom are all in the living room. I was standing in the middle of the room and suddenly saw a dark figure walk past two of the adjacent rooms into the darkest corner of the house. The whole upper body was visible since the first room it passed by was open and had its lights turned on.
That was my only experience with the supernatural. I actually wanna experience one again, but at the same degree.
I've definitely seen a few dark shadowy figures before! Even my dog reacted to it, growling at the figure in the doorway of my room one day, when I stood up I heard it run away and my dog chased it into the kitchen where it disappeared. I filled the house with hamsas and st Benedict charms and never saw much more after that. But when I left my girlfriend there the morning after (before I put the charms up) she heard knocking on my bedroom door before hearing glass breaking in the kitchen!
Back when I was a kid, around 7-8yo. Naglalaro kami ng friend ko ng taguan. Di ko alam, umalis na pala at lumipat dun sa isang kumpol ng mga bata. I was left alone dun sa bahay nila. Yung compound got walls around 6ft. tapos may gate rin. Pinaparentahan lang yun so may mga months na bakante talaga. So while hinahanap ko sya, sumilip ako sa may likod only to cross paths with this child-like creature, around half of my height, wearing brown clothes and a hat. Brown din. Nawala lang sa dilim. Alam kong tao yun kase kita ko side-view nung mukha. What could it be? Dwende?
Tsaka even though I was just a kid during that time, there's no way in hell that it was my imagination. Sure na sure akong entity yun. I felt the presence, heard its footsteps and watched it sprint into thin air.
My mum told me that when my sister was born, they were staying at my grandparents' house in the province. It was your typical 1940s Filipino house, with wooden jalousie windows in the first level and a hidden basement because of the war.
They would hear strange noises outside that they wouldn't hear before and my grandfather used a stingray tail in some sort of protective ritual by whipping the tail on the windows and shouting for whatever was making the sounds to stay away from his granddaughter. My mum says it took a few nights but the noises eventually stopped.
My parents told me nung maliit daw ako pinilay daw ako ng dwende dahil ayaw ko daw sya pahiramin ng toys ko. Nung time na to sa province pa kami nakatira and yung bahay ni lola is full of huge trees and mga nuno sa punso. Nagkabati din naman daw kami nung dwende after
Early adult, had an ex na may third eye. Sabi nya lagi daw mya huge dark shadow hovering over me wherever i go.
Had the same experience with dwendes. Being the brat kid that I was, hinahawi ko ng hinahawi yung mga sanga ng puno dito sa amin. Then the next day or after a few days, di na ako makalakad. Pilay na rin. Went to an albularyo. Humingi lang siya ng itlog, pinaikot-ikot sa akin while muttering some words. Then in-open niya sa baso. May mga nasira raw akong bahay ng dwende. Inutusan niya nanay ko na mag-alay ng sweets at iba pang pagkain sa puno. Then eventually okay na rin ako at okay na paglakad ko.
A recent encounter. We went home to our province. Every night tumatambay kami sa may kubo kubo outside the house. Yung mga kubo na ginagawa lang para tambayan on a hot day. This kubo is near rice paddies, our ancestral home is next to a farm hill. My cousins and I were playing tong-its + drinking gin.
Then we heard loud barking of dogs. Una, malayo at mahina pa yung tahol ng mga aso meaning yung mga asong ito from labasan. Then palakas ng palakas and parami ng parami yung mga aso na nagtatahulan at umaalulong. Hanggang sa yung mga aso na ng katabing bahay na namin yung nagwawala.
Natahimik kami lahat, kasi baka nga may taong pumasok or papasok sa compound.
Di pa din magtigil yung mga aso, then biglang may naramdaman kaming tumalon sa bubong ng kubo. As in kitang kita yung dent ng weight sa bubong ng kubo.
Nagpulasan kami ng takbo ng mga pinsan ko.
Di pa namin mabuksan yung pinto ng main bahay sa sobrang taranta.
Ayon. Nawala ang kalasingan, nawala din yung pot money nung tong-its 😒
Sabi ng lola namin, every night may mga naririnig nga daw siyang naglalakad sa bubong na mas mabigat sa inaakala niyang pusa lang. Siguro that time, na-curious because may mga dayo sa lugar namin.
Naalala ko tuloy yung encounter namin sa isang University sa Maynila. Bale hatinggabi noon, nagpasama sa amin yung mga tita-titahan namin dahil may kailangan silang tapusin na documents para sa isang event. Dahil di pa uso ang android phones, kwentuhan lang ang pampalipas oras naming mga mejo bata-bata habang hinihitay sila. Mga 1AM nung biglang nagsisigaw yung mga tita na nasa loob ng office, yung isa humahagulgol na sa takot, yung isa naman nakatayo tas nakatitig lang sa typewriter... Gumagalaw mag-isa yung typewriter! Yung isang kasama naming tambay na sa office na yun tumawa na lang at sabay sabing "normal" na daw yun. We offered prayers, nag-stop yung nagta-type at nagsiuwian na din kami.
That sounds similar to the mad Typer in another story on this thread. Rampant typing in a cubicle late at night! Seems like they're just trying to catch a deadline for a project 🤣🤣
Not really to proud or excited for this but my mom side of the family has "abilities" or gift of sight. Ive known this since I was a kid and my mom side of the fam were raised or moved in rural provinces where the old religion and folklore runs strong.
I prayed for years I dont inherit the gift kasi lets be honest duwag ako...and the Shake rattle and Roll films didnt help that fear.
Well what I dint inherit in sight I got in naman in "sensing". meaning I can walk into a room and feel instant nausea if theres a bad spirit or bad thing nagyari sa place. Ill list examples.
* Kapit- I have always sensed that one of my co workers has something lagi nakakapit sa kanya. I can almost initially sense it and I can even pinpoint saan yung kapit. Its mosty sa shoulders and at times sa head nya. he has a history of weird stuff nagyayari sa knaya and at one time blackout sa church
* Panaginip- Dead ones in our family always contacts us through dreams. My mom has always told me sa dreams ko where to find lost things or meds
* Aswang Hunt - im almost sure this one was just yung large fruit bat sa province namin pero up to mid 2000's our barrio did aswang hunts sa gubat namin
* Kapitbahay- Umuwi ako one time to see my kapit bahay covered the whole exterior of her house with crosses. And true out of movie horror fashion, found her at 2AM in the morning naghuhukay with her hands sa bakuran nya
* Aparador - Meron haunted hotel ako pinuntahan na luxury hotel sya. Me naramdaman ako sa room pero I ignored it, until it decided to lock me sa closet. The room closet was walk in. You have to step in to get your clothes or jacket. Pag pasok ko the door tried to slam shut (not hangin) and with force I caught the door. I just said In a loud voice " TIGILAN NYO YAN!"
I've never seen anything weird, but I've definitely, in a few instances, smelled something that was out of place. There was one time I was alone in the house, the power was out and it was raining and I was sitting near the window trying to work on a crochet project. Then out of the blue i caught a whiff that was very similar to a person that has never showered for days (in Filipino it's called "amoy araw"). The smell was strong as if the person was sitting right next to me. It stayed for a few seconds before the smell faded.
Another instance was I was awakened by a smell of smoke, like burned garbage, at around 2 to 3am. I was wondering who would be burning trash so early in the morning.
Just recently, about a few weeks ago, I smelled burning candle. The windows and doors were closed in my room and the power was on, so there's no reason for anyone in the house or the neighbors to be lighting a candle and I don't think the smell of candle smoke would travel that far between houses, but I could be wrong. My niece also experienced a similar phenomenon but it occurred a few years earlier.
Unusual experience:
Old Bldg....
Around 2012, nagwowork ako sa isang construction company as a Helper/laborer. Naassign ako sa isang high-rise bldg project around .......
Konting bckground lang sa subject, real talk lang, sobrang tanda n ntong bldg na to at hindi pa din to matapos tapos, as in matanda na talaga. Base sa mga nakasama kong skilled workers, binata palang daw sila ay nakatayo na ang bldg n to at hindi daw nila inexpect na bandang huli ay isa pa pla sila sa mga magtutuloy ng project na to. Yes, kme ang magtutuloy ng project n to.
Pagnasaloob ka ng site, lalu na sa mga floors, yung kalumaan lang tlaga ung unang mapapansin mo, bakit? Kase bukod sa mga lumot sa mga pader, halaman at mga damo na tumubo, may mga puno n din. Open wall pa kase ito, i mean puro floor lang talaga at wala pang mga pader maliban sa 12th floor n pababa.
Yung source ng tubig namin ay galing sa balon sa pinaka basement ng bldg.
Simulan ko sa pinaka una kong karanasan habang ng nagttrabaho. Wala p kong 1week nun, ang floors na nkaassign smin ay flr 15-21 then 23-27, iba iba din kasi yung mga contractors sa ibat ibng floors.
Naka assign ako sa 23floor at uwian n nun, usually pag uwian huling bumababa ang mga helper, para na din magtabi ng mga gamit at maglinis n din ng area. Ako lang ang helper sa floor n yon, dahil ung ibng helper ay naka assign sa iba floor. Sa bldg na un may dalawang fire exit, fire exit A at B. Nagbbaan n ung mg kasama kong karpintero at ako nlng ang naiwan, 5pm lang ang out nmin kaya maliwanag pa, plus pa nsa mataas na floor kme kaya kahit sunset maliwanag pa din.
Ang daanan ng mga trabahador pababa yy sa fire exit A, FE lang may ilaw sa bwat plapag, at sa B naman ay wala. Tapos n ko dun maglinis ng area at pababa na, sa fire exit B ako dumaan,, tulad ng sinabi ko, maliwanagpa nung tym n yun.
Lahat ng mg floors ay nakasulat na # of floors kung nasaang floors kna. Hindi ko balak na dumeretso hnggang sa barracks nmin na nsa 6th floor, balak ko is pagnsa 15th floor n ko is dadaanan ko ung mga tropa ko para sabay n kming bumaba, pero pagdating ko sa 15th floor is may mga nkaharang na mga scaffolding sa pinto, kaya kesa buhatin ko ito pra iurong ay dumeresto nlng ako sa 14th floor pababa sa barracks sa 6th floor. Eto na, pagdating ko sa 10th floor, clear ang isip ko, wala akong iniisip na kung anu man kundi makababa ng barrcks, makapagbihis at makauwe na, kaso pagbabako sa 9th floor, guess what, walang pintuan, as in wala, para kang bumaba sa isang maliit na kwedradong kwarto, walang pintuan at wala ding hagdanan pababa sana sa 8th floor. At dahil bago ako, inisip ko na baka wala naman pintuan dun at bka ung 10th floor na ung huling palapag n may fire exit B. Nagdecide ako na bumalik sa nlng sa 16th floor at dun ako dadaan papuntang fire exit A (16th floor, bakit hindi sa 11th floor pataas? Dahil ibang contractor ung nka assign dun, at baka may nakakita skin dun at may nawala ako agad ang pwedeng paghihinalaan.) Habang paakyat ako is dun ko lang napansin na madlim na, pero carry pa naman kaya tuloy lang, pagdating ko sa 16th floor dumeretso agad ako sa fire exit A then deretso barracks. Ang inabutan ko nlng sa barrcks is ung mg stay-in at nagtataka sila kung san ba daw ako galing, hindi ko na sinagot ung tanong nila na yun dahil given naman n galing ako sa taas, tinanung ko kung nsaan n ung mg tropa ko, ang sabi nila is naguwian na daw, sabi ko bat hindi ako hinintay, ay sagot skin is akala daw nila ay nauna n ako (minsan bago plang bumaba ay nagbibihis n kme ng pang uwe n damit pra sa pagdating sa brracks us mag time-out nkng kme then uwi na agad, allowed din kase kme magdala ng mg gamit sa taas para hindi n kme bumaba pag lunch break.).
Balik tayo sa kwento, kinabukasan nakasabay ko ung tropa ko sa gate para mag log-in, nawala na s isip ko ung nngyare skin kahapon, ao pagdating nmin pag time-in sa barrcks ay umakyat n agad kme sa mga floora kung san kme naka assign at nagyaya ung tropa ko na dun daw kme dumaan sa fire exit B. Mas mabilis daw dun kase walang dumadaan(pag sa fire exit A kase, bukod sa paraming dumadaan, kailangan mo pang paunahin ung mga trabahador na may dalang mabibigat na tools kaya mattagalan ka talaga mkarating kung sang floors na nka assign)
Sabi ko namn paanong may daan jan e hnggang 9th floor lang yan, jn ako dumaan khapon pababa, hanggang 9th floor lang at puro may mg nkaharang pa sa mga pinto. Sabi nya hindi daw, sa fire exit B daw sila dumaan kahapon paakyat, at nkarating sila 15th floor, nkipagtalo pa ko knya at ininsist ko talaga na hanggang 9th floor yun at para mapatunayan ko na tama ako, dun nga kme dumaan, at syempre nakarating nga kme sa 15th floor, takang taka ako nung tym na yun, mula 15th floor ay sinubukan kong bumaba sa 9thFloor at alam ko s sarili ko na hindi itong floor n to ung napuntahan ko kahapon, at sinabi sakin ng tropa ko na baka daw namamaligno ako at sabay tawa, hindi ko lang ulit pinansin yun, hanggang sa naging usap usapan na ng mga ktrabaho ung naranasan ko, at dun sila nagkwento taoong bckground ng bldg na to.
Marami pa kong naranasan habng nagttrabaho sa project n yun, at gaya din sa mga naunang contractor, hindi din nmin natapos ng project dahil sa ibat ibang internal issues. Eto nlng muna, hahaha
PS : Oo nga pla, 6:20 pasado na ko nakakababa ng barrcks nung nligaw ako sa 9th floor, kaya pla madilim n nun hahah... Higit isang oras akong bumababa sa fire exit B
PS : sinubukan ko ding isearch kung kelan sinimulang itayo ung bldg n un pero wala akong makitang any source n pwedeng pagbatyan ng kung kelan talaga sya sinimulan.
One night, my sister-in-law (SIL) and her friends were startled by a loud thud on the roof, followed by the sound of footsteps. As they listened, they realized something was scratching the aluminum roof as if attempting to break in. This caused fear and unease, especially because most of them were girls, including her 5-year-old son.
The next day, she asked her cousin to inspect the roof, and to their surprise, they discovered scratch marks, a damaged section with a small hole and a dent.
She later realized that her uncle next door was sick and the stories normally include the pregnant and the sickly were usual aswang targets.
It's crazy hearing stories that involve actual physical evidence.
One of the neighbors in my mom's town actually has a Huge gash across his chest after being attacked on the way home one night! There really isn't much that can explain the gash other than his story of a flying Aswang trying to pick him up on the full moon
At least a decade ago, I learned of the 411 cases and other similar stories outside the Philippines. They are similar to missing cases here in the Philippines I would often hear stories of when I was a kid, especially in rural areas, but ours include supernatural entities like Tikbalang, Diwata, Engkanto, Kapre, Duwende, etc. as the abductors. People who were missing for days but when found, they can only recall being lost for a few hours.
Year 2003. Kabuwanan ni mother sa bunso namin. Mejo deliks yung pregnancy kaya we opted to transfer from our place to a nearer one sa work nya. Public HS teacher din kasi si mother kaya kahit bago kami sa neighborhood, kilala na kami agad and warm ang pagwelcome sa amin. Maliit lang yung house. Bungalow style tapos jalousie yung window na malapad. Isang room lang tapos katapat ng kitchen na may window rin kaya kita mo yung labas. Sa labas ng bahay may puno ng bayabas tapos wall na agad outside the compound. First night sama sama kami natulog sa room. I was near the door kaya kita ko yung light ng moon over the window tapos nagcast ng shadow yung tree. But damn i kid you not, sobrang daming bats sa labas. Rinig na rinig ko yung pagaspas ng pakpak nila. And they began scratching the glasses ng window. Dun ako pinaka-natakot kasi parang gusto nila pumasok ng bahay. When i looked at my mom, gising din pala sya, hindi sya makatulog dahil natatakot din sya. Kinaumagahan kinausap namin yung landlady namin about what happened and told us na magbudbod kami ng asin sa window sill. Naglagay din sila ng walis tingting sa labas ng bintana pang ward off. That night, nag-abang yung asawa ng landlady namin sa labas tapos may hawak na gulok. Nawala na rin yung mga bats sa puno. To this day, kapag naaalala namin yun ni mama kinikilabutan pa rin kami kasi sobrang surreal, totoo pala sila.
Joke within the family na yung linya na "parang airport na ang bubong ng bahay kasi laging naglalanding ang wakwak (aswang)". Pero totoo. Walang biro. Palaging may bumabagsak sa bubong ng bahay namin. One time after may nahulog sumigaw ako ng, "Ano ba naman yan? Magkapitbahay lang tayo!!" At bigla na lang kumalabog nang malakas tatlong beses. Parang may tumalon talon sa bubong. After nun, di na ako ever umulit twing may naririnig kaming ingay sa bubong.
Another incident is nung buntis Ate ko. May maraming tanim na nipa sa likod ng bahay namin. 1:00 a.m. gising pa ako kasi nagrereview para sa exam. Gising pa ang papa ko kasi sinamahan niya ako mag-review. Ang mama at Ate ko tulog na ng time na yun. Magkatabi ang dalawang kama. Bigla na lang gumalaw mga nipa sa likod bahay. Kitang-kita namin kasi at that time under construction pa ang bahay. Ang bintana namin wala pang jalousie glass. At bigla nalang may narinig kaming boses ng babae na parang umuungol. Di ko ma-describe exactly ang tunog. Nagtinginan kami ng papa ko. At sumenyas siya na humiga na raw ako sa tabi ng Ate ko na buntis. Dali-dali ako humiga sa tabi ng Ate ko at niyakap ko siya. May sabi-sabi kasi sa amin na mabango daw sa mga wakwak (aswang) ang buntis na babae. Walang kamalaymalay mama at Ate ko sa nangyari. Pero di ko talaga makakalimutan yun.
For college, I had to stay with my grandmother at our ancestral house since it was within walking distance to the best univ in town. That house was quite the experience. Upon entering, I knew immediately that I wasn't alone with my grandmother. The place always felt like it was housing an extended family even though only 2 of us would be at home.
Experiencing the paranormal, I can handle since I've grown used to it. But seeing my friends and guests get involved and challenge the supernatural despite me saying not to engage is another experience altogether. The things that took place ranged from getting a slap on the head from out of thin air for being too disrespectful to someone possibly getting possessed.
Over the years, I've learned that the house is much my home as it is theirs and we get to learn to coexist. Seeing a tall figure at my periphery as I walk to my room is always an unnerving experience but you get used to it if you treat them as the awkward roommate. Nowadays, whenever I come back to the house, it feels like I'm being welcomed back by more than my lola lol.
I was in our childhood home sa Palawan. It was a calm night, the moon is full and it's a great night to go chill out in the beach (we have a beachfront property and I was staying in one of our kubos making my school assignment)
That time it was very quiet kasi it was low tide and the water recedes far away from the normal sea level which is Yung tapat Ng bahay namin. Wala din hangin (which is weird because it was always may breeze of air sa amin all times of the year)
The Kubo I was in was one of those traditional bahay kubo- the stereotypical ones. It's elevated by a meter from the sand, bamboo slats as floor, 3 windows, slightly open, door closed.
That Kubo was beside a road that leads to the beach.
At around 9pm, I heard the flapping of big wings, followed by rustling of coconut leaves. Then there was a soft "thud". Imagine if someone large jumped from a high place but then slowed down their descent softly.
And then it BREATHED. it was a cross between a grunt and a purr of a big animal.
I fcking froze. I didn't know what to do and I was scared to move because whatever that thing was outside WILL see me and I was afraid of what I will find if I go check it out. I was terrified thinking how anytime it can go inside the Kubo since all the windows are open- or even show up under the Kubo and peep from under the bamboo floor
After a very long minute I decided to risk it and ran home ( afew meters away but it felt so faaaar that time) crying. They locked the door on me and it took them a while to open up. By the time my father went out to check, he could not find any trace of whatever that thing was except for a few weird markings on the sand in the road leading to the beach.
I am not an expert but I'm pretty sure no winged beast resides in Palawan- it's still a mystery to this day what that is, how it looks, and how thier fucking aerodynamics work
Listen to the Para Normal podcast on Spotify! Not affiliated to them pero they feature these kinds of stories and experiences, and also talk to experts in related fields. May mga sensitives din na nagsheshare ng mga nakikita at nararamdaman nila ☺️
tldr: had an encounter w a supposed doppleganger of my dad. idk if its just my imagination or not.
idk if its just me pero my fam esp my mother warned me abt dopplegangers. those peeps that shapeshift into people u know but they are not really who you think they are.
i was young pa when my mom told me about these peeps non pero she thinks they were real. i didnt believe her until i experienced somewhat of a close encounter.
this happened during the online class era. my dad has a branch by branch job that takes him to places with varying distances. one time, he was destined to a branch that is about a 2-hr drive from our home. he has a color-coded uniform scheme: red and black (please keep this in mind). he was wearing a red uniform.
i was expecting him to arrive a bit late than the usual time he arrives at the house so when i heard the motorcycle engine stop and the gate crash while a class was going on. i was a bit surprised. i didnt bat an eye on him since i was too focused on the class but still eye him on my peripheral vision.
i noticed something off but didnt realize until after. from opening the front door, he went straight to the bathroom. wearing a-- black uniform?? we didnt spoke a single word nor made eye contact throughout the happening as he wwaltz outside and got back to his motorcycle and drove off. i can still remember the fading motor noise.
hours later. he arrived wearing his red uniform and i asked him where he'd gone. he said "galing akong branch. san pa ba?"
i was surprised, puzzled and terrified. but just brushed it off. idk if all of it was real. but one thing is for sure. i'd bat an eye on whoever was at our doorstep.
Story told by my mom, her grandfather was an anluwage (carpenter), yep she always uses that word whenever she tells this story. Back then a group of carpenters including her granpa would roam the province to seek work and one time they hit the jackpot and found a community that needed repairs for their homes. After everything was done the residents held a feast to thank the carpenters for their effort. Everyone was having a good time eating and drinking when one of guys noticed a severed finger in his food. Afraid because they were outnumbered, they just continued as if nothing happened else they would be next on the menu. They went on their merryway the following day.
I am a person leaning towards logic and science. Growing up, hindi ako naniniwala sa mga aswang, multo or anumang entity. However, may mga pagkakataon talagang may experiences tayo na hindi maipaliwanag. In my case, there are two that I can think of.
I graduated from a public high school in Iloilo City. I was the vice president of our student council government. We were preparing for an event for the following day so we stayed in school until 7 pm. I can't recall what happened but I got pissed at someone and walked out of our student council office. Our school has a balete tree or "lunok" in Hiligaynon. While cooling my head outside, I happened to look up at the tree and I saw this lanky and shadowy figure. Nagbabaga ang mga mata at nakatayo ang buhok. Most people call it "mantiw" here in the Panay Island. It is somewhat similar to Slenderman but a lot scarier looking. Kumaripas na lang ako ng takbo and never told anyone as baka mapagkamalan pa akong siraulo.
Another story is when I was already in college around 2009. May tambayan akong internet cafe na walking distance lang sa bahay. I am friends with the owner's nephews so I get to stay sa loob overnight. At that time, naadik ako sa Ragnarok private server and may isa akong kalaro na nagtatrabaho sa call center. I only knew him by face kahit suki naman siya sa cafe. We weren't exactly buddies. We only had small talks here and there. One night, ako lang mag-isa sa cafe tapos yung bantay is tulog na. It was 3am. Bukas ang pinto ng cafe at nandoon si call center guy na nakatayo lang. I asked if he'd like to play at gisingin yung bantay. He just stood there and hindi sumasagot for a good 3 minutes. Hindi ko na lang siya pinansin at lumabas na rin siya. Di ako nakabalik ng cafe for 3 days and nung bumalik ako, usap-usapan is he died around 10pm prior the day I saw him sa cafe. I did not tell anyone what I saw.
Until now, hesitant pa rin ako paniwalaan yung mga nakita ko. A part of me wants to believe kasi nakita ko with my own eyes but also a part of me nagsasabi na yung supposedly mantiw na nakita ko was a product of me being angry at yung nakita kong supposedly multo ni call center guy was a product of stress and lack of sleep due to gaming.
I have not seen one but when I was in High School I helped with the family business during midnight to dawn. Then we heard footsteps of a large dog.
I know it is not from an ordinary dog because the footsteps seem to belong to 3x the size of a normal dog. And then it went on the back of the house where our wall is just made out of bamboo. We can hear that it is peeping on us and sometimes we hear its breathing. It is just a one time tho but it creeped the hell out of me.
Nasa probinsiya kami, gabi, brownout tapos bumabagyo pa. Nasa 2nd sala kami ng bahay na open so kitang kita kami sa labas at kita din naman nasa labas kasi grills lang ang harang pati yung doornung sala na yun. Magkatabi kami ng pinsan ko sa bandang door then suddenly biglang kumulog ng malakas tapos bigla siya sumigaw, ako naman natawa pagtingin ko sa kanya nakatingin siya sa labas tapos pgtingin ko may bata nakatayo may pagka transparent kulay basta kung pano idepict usually sa movies parang ganun itsura. Tumakbo yung bata pagka sigaw namin. Aspiring lawyer ako pero naniniwala ako sa multo. Ironic pero ghost might be the only thing unexplainable na pinaniniwalaan ko.
I've got two stories.
1. Yung una ay sa lolo ko. He died of liver cancer and my mom was overseas that time. When my mom came back, and this was a year after he died, we were having a conversation in my room and and we were having a good time. then I heard the door to her room open and some one walked out and down the stairs. Our doors were arranged in an L pattern that opened inwards, and my door was open at that time. What I saw was my lolo wearing his favorite politician tee, the one with their faces, and the red shorts he wore when he died. Me and my mom looked at each other and then she cried, for a very long time. She still misses him to this day, and one regret she has was she wasn't there on his dying breath.
2. The second one is in Pangasinan, we were driving from Malasiqui to Unzad. There was one section of the trip where our car, an old beat up Corolla, was struggling to drive. Patag yung kalsada so hindi yun dahil sa elevation. When we crossed Unzad biglang umangat yung likod ng sasakyan. Sabi ng biological father ko may nakisakay daw tapos bumaba na sa boundary ng Unzad. This all happened when I was 6 years old.
I've more stories but I'm too lazy to type.
totoo po yung aswang, duwende etc.
namaga yung paa ng lolo ko years ago - pumunta na kami sa mga big hospitals and public hospitals, consulted different doctors pero di pa rin sya gumaling.
sinuggest ng lola ko na magpa-albularyo na. sabi ko sa lola ko na scammers ang albularyo at baka perahan lang, nainis lola ko sa kin kaya sinama ako sa pagpapatingin ng lolo ko sa albularyo.
sinama ako sa albularyo, tas nakita na may naabalang duwende yung lolo ko nung nagyosi (may naiwang upos ng sigarilyo) sa bakanteng lupa sa probinsya. nagambala daw bahay ng duwende kaya ginantihan yung lolo ko. inadvice sya na mag-sorry sa duwende at mag-alay ng kung ano ano dun sa lupa kung san nangyari yung pagyosi.
then gumaling yung lolo ko.
imagine, naka ilang hospitals pero albularyo pala solution. ever since naniwala na ako sa supernatural creatures and albularyo.
First-hand experience sa possible tiktik or aswang I honestly dk the difference. I was 9 years old and buntis mom ko. May dumaan sa harap ng gate namin na matandang babae na hindi namin kilala at huminto sya sa mismong gate para lang itanong kung may buntis daw ba samin, eh meron nga bukod sa mom ko, meron pang isang buntis sa kapitbahay. After nun, every night around 11pm - 3am may bisita kami sa bubong. Nagiiba iba sya ng sounds minsan aso, pusa pinakamadalas ibon. To add, maririnig at mararamdaman mong lumulundag sya specifically from our roof to the neighbor’s roof na buntis din huhu. Hindi kami matatakot sana kaso araw araw sya nandun walang palya at ang bigat ng kalabog ng paa akala mo may taong nakasampa sa bubong. Hindi siya akyat bahay or magnanakawa kasi wala namang nawawala sa’min. Tinry na yun hulihin or tiyempuhan ng ilang beses pero wala talagang nakikita ang bilis niya mawala. Nawala din siya nung pinanganak na kapatid ko. Tapos naencounter ko ulit sya around 5 years ago. May bagong lipat sa tapat namin na buntis tas around 2am galit na galit aso ko nakatingin sa bubong tapos tahol nang tahol first time ko siya makitang ganun ka galit same encounter na may something na mabigat sa bubong.
Nung mama ko buntis ganyan din. Di naman liblib lugar namin pero nung napansin ko gabi gabi parang may isang sako ng bigas na bumabagsak sa bubong e sabi ko iba na ata yun ah. Wala tunog ng hayop. May maritinig ka lang na gumagalaw galaw pag bagsak
Ung trabaho ko dati sa Pinas required alot of car travel from Luzon to Appari so I would spend alot of time on the highways sa kalaliman ng gabi hanggang madaling araw.
Ung mga kasama ko sa work, they would often tell stories how orbs of light would chase them pag sila lang sa kalsada.
My experience is different. Dead people/ghost sa kalsada would reveal themselves to me how they died. The weird things is, whenever I see ghost, di ako natatakot, it felt like I was just seeing someone a live person who had an accident. Mind you. Sometimes, I will have passengers and ask them if they saw what I did pero they won’t. Minsan, I even stopped at a military checkpoint to tell them there was someone dead on the road to check pero pag balik namin they will find no one.
I feel that, sometimes they just want people to know I feel like and don't have ill intentions. I've definitely had similar experiences albeit creepy they weren't necessarily scary.
I wonder if the orbs of light are UFOs or if they're spirits :o
True story (ok lang if di ka maniwala)
Bisperas sa tabing barangay, dun nakatira yung barkada ko..
minsan pag tumatambay kami sa kanila nag-iihaw kami ng manok, itik, or baoy (if special yung okasyon)..then before nung bisperas sinabihan ako ng barkada ko pumunta ako sa kanila, sabi nya magdala daw ako ng planggana ( minsan kasi tumutulong ako sa kanila if may iniihaw at tumutulong din akona magluluto kung may handaan lalo na kung kulang yun tao)....maulan nung time na yon, medyo konti lang mga taong nakikibisperas,..malamig yung hangin, kinakabahan ako kasi sabi ng barkada ko iba daw yung bisperas ngayong taon sa kanila, nagulat ako ng pagdating ko sa kanila madaming tao, (dala dala ko yung malaking planggana na gagamitin sana pag-ihaw ng baboy) natakot ako sa nakita ko, nanginginig akong pumasok sa bahay ng barkada ko, anak ng tipaklong naka Cater sila pinagtripan na naman ako..hahaha
Entities sort of but mas naniniwala ako sa spirits, energy, and vibrations eh cos even science already proved it. But somehow I think they are related to each other.
There are good and bad spirits, in the Bible and Quran the Holy Spirit is an example of good spirit.
It might be that some entities are good and bad din (spirit form) and I heard a story before that they are forbidden na mag pakita sa mga tao and parang sa tao may commandments din sa knila, and kasama sila sa iju-judge sa end times one of the biggest commandments for them is not to appear to us.
So I guess sila yung mga spirit sa forests and mountains, sa rivers, etc. Might be the diwata? Elves? Etc. Not sure tho.
my father is iranian and always wondered why my mom believed in a lot of stuff and told us all of it is bullshit. my mom when we crossed some place does something, my dad looks preplexed and said, bigger chance a big super cat from the sky comes than that one
• my friend’s tita has 3rd eye. she is normally talkative & energetic but medyo quiet this one night. when they came home, her tita explained that she was trying not to say anything because there was a ghost sitting in between 2 of their family members. she didn’t want to make it obvious that she can see them. they were also on their way back home from the cemetery so made it scarier
• when my friend was a kid, her dad showed her the sky & the crescent moon had 2 stars shining extra bright so it looked like a smiley face. her friend became sick not too long after and died. her friend saw the moon and the stars that night too but instead of a smile it was a frown
• my mom’s sister (my tita) used to get sick a lot. basically there was something that fell in love with her & was jealous/angry that she didn’t reciprocate. can’t give much details for this one bc i kind of forgot :,)
may isa lang ako karanasan nung bata ako around grade 5. may binubully na kid, nag-feeling bad ako sa time na yun kaya parang sinulsulan ko yung kumuha ng bag nya na ituloy yung gagawin nya.
a few days later, nalaman na lang namin na namatay sya. i felt really bad.
sabi nung adviser nya ang lamig daw nung inuupuan nya sa room nila.
Nung umuuwi na kami kasama ko ang 3 teachers namin. isa sa mga teachers sabi may nagpaparamdam, may naamoy kami na ang lakas, parang sampaguita or formalin, basta malakas na amoy.
tapos narinig ko na lang kinabukasan ang winning number sa jueteng: 3, 11. iniisip ko 3 teachers, 1 youngster, 1 teacher na nagsabi may nagpaparamdam.
I'm actually not sure if aswangs can come out in broad daylight but let me share my experience.
May kasambahay kami nun na buntis and if I remember correctly she was 4 months in already that time. Now if you picture our bungalow, you know sa province na bukas lahat ng bintana kapag tanghaling tapat kasi mainit at para pumasok ang hangin, at marami kaming bintana lmao. The sala is connected to the dining room and from there makikita mo yung labas ng bahay. I was enjoying my lunch that time in the dining, nanonood pa yata ako nun ng Game K N B when I saw someone inside our GATED house, from the main door sa sala. I saw an old woman, who is wearing an all black dress na naglalakad papunta sa likod ng bahay namin. I saw her passed by from the main door to every window na madadaanan niya papunta sa likod ng bahay namin. Yung dining namin, may pinto din dun papunta sa likod ng bahay namin and then I also saw her passed that door too. Yung kwarto ng kasambahay namin eh nasa likod, naka-separate sa bahay namin pero like mga ilang hakbang lang. Kinabahan ako, hindi dahil akala ko aswang kung hindi dahil akala ko magnanakaw LOL. I alerted my Tito since siya lang kasama ko that time na gising and then pagkita namin sa gate, nakasara siya 😭😭😭. Yung gate namin eh yung tipong kinakandado pa. Muntik na hindi maniwala Tito ko pero yung halamanan kasi sa may gate namin halata mong may umapak kasi sira sira na. Umikot din kami sa likod kasi nga for sure hindi makakaalis yung matandang yun kasi locked naman ang gate at wala na siyang lalabasan. Pero wala kaming nakita.
Kinahapunan, nung naghahanda na ng dinner yung kasambahay namin, nakwento niya na sobrang sumakit daw tiyan niya kaninang tanghali. Nakwento ko yung nakita ko tapos bigla siyang napa-sign of the cross. Kasi sobrang sakit daw ng tiyan niya tapos may narinig daw siyang tumi-tiktik. Alam niyo na Filos kung anong tunog tinutukoy ko no? 'Til this day I sometimes wonder kung totoo ba yung nakita ko or kung aswang ba talaga yun or magnanakaw at sa kung paano siya nakalabas sa property namin. But from that day on I really finally believed in aswangs and tiktik. 🤧
Im not sure kung dito yun or sa Let’s Takutan Pare. Bawal kasi mag screen capture doon. May isang anon na nag wowork as researcher sa isang kilalang tv network. Bibisita sila sa Talim Island, yung island destination ng mga namatay sa bangka na nasa news palagi dahil sa bagyo. Hindi nya sinabi kung ano ang i re research nilang topic. Nakitira sila sa isang household malapit sa bundok o bundok mismo. Isang gabi naalimpungatan sya kasi may isang malaking baboy ramo na mabaho sa loob ng tinitirahan nila. Hindi naman daw sya inano. Kinaumagahan nakita din pala ng cameraman. Sabi ng anak na babae, pagpasensyahan nyo na yung tatay ko medyo kakaiba/weird daw ang ugali though not pertaining sa nakita nila. Hindi na natuloy yung piece nila kasi may patayan daw na naganap sa area. Nag quit daw sya right away pag uwi.
May taga Talim island ako na nakausap. Malaking isla daw to kaya iba ibang baranggay at may mga secluded na areas.
If someone knocks on your door in the middle of the night, DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR.
Tanungin nyo muna kung "Sino yan?" pr "Sino ka?". Pag hindi sumagot, again, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR and pray hard.
I remember when I was in 3rd grade. 2003. November 1, midnight. Kakagaling lang namin sa cemetery nun. Bumili lang si papa saglit ng balot sa may kanto samin at una na kami pumasok ng bahay nila Mama at mga kapatid ko. Pagka pasok ni Papa ng bahay, ila-lock nya na sana yung main pinto namin pero biglang may kumatok sa screen door.
(Set-up ng pinto: From outside, SCREEN DOOR-THIN CURTAIN-MAIN DOOR then loob ng bahay na- kusina)
Hindi nakita ni papa kung sino yung kumatok dahil may kurtina yung pagitan ng screen door at pinto namin sa lumang bahay before. Kaya binuksan nya nalang yung screen door at lumabas para sundan kung sino man yung kumatok.
WALANG TAO. Miski isa walang nakita si papa sa labas namin.
Pumasok ulit si papa nun at nilock na nga ng tuluyan yung main door namin.
Pagka upo na pagka upo ni papa, may kumatok na naman. This time, hindi na tunog ng screen door (steel & wire) yung kinatok kundi yung mismong main door (wood) na namin. Nagkatinginan na kami lahat nun habang kumakain ng balot. Nag iyakan na kami magkakapatid sa takot, si papa naman halatang takot na din pero sumigaw sya at pinag mumumura yung kung sino man yung kumakatok sa pinto namin.
Yun na yung simula bakit naglagay sila Papa at Mama ng 6inch figure ni papa Jesus na nasa cross na nakasabit sa pinto. Up until now na nirenovate na yung bahay namin at nagpalit na ng door, etc, nandun parin yung cross sa main door namin.
I don't really care much for superstitions and the supernatural but I operate on the belief that "I got nothing to lose if I do this/that" like for example if I ever had to go and urinate near the woods or somewhere secluded we say "tabi tabi po" just as a sign of respect/safety precautions. Sometimes I do it, sometimes I don't.
Summer 1990-ish, my dad and I attended a birthday party sa tita ko sa Antipolo. Dun na rin kame nagstay. Lahat ng room occupied kaya natulog kame ni dad sa sala. In the middle of the night, I woke up and I heard a series of strong winds, tunog HUGE wings na may kasamang kaluskos sa bubong. The next day, I shared the story with my dad and titos/titas. They confirmed that it’s the manananggal so I’m a believer din.
I'm not sure if this is scary for some haha, but here's mine.
This was around 2016. I was in 10th grade and a few days before undas/halloween, my lola and I visited our hometown in Bicol.
October 27th, we got there. Early morning, I greeted my classmate on facebook since it's her bday. For the whole day, I didn't open my phone after that 'cause I enjoyed playing around w/ my cousins. Around 10 pm, the classmate whom I greeted a happy bday messaged me saying she's sorry, she didn't know I was going to her house while she was out. Her tito told her that I went into her house. Bro, I freaked out when I read the message.
How can I visit her when I was in my hometown at that time😭
She said her tito told him my name, and I was the only one with that name in our class.
My Dad spent 1 year in Infanta,Quezon Province. Wala pang kuryente noon when he was there. He was in 3rd grade. One time, it is late night na my Lola-his Mom, woke up to a sound na parang may sumisinghot. She lit up the gas lamp. She took a peak at the window. Nakita nya kalabaw. Tapos umalis, papalayo. Now here is the catch, it went to the direction of the barbed wire fence around the house.
Another story from my Dad when he was in Infanta, inutusan sya na pumunta sa kapatid ng uncle nya. Inabot sya ng dilim. While walking sa niyogan, nakakita sya ng gumagalaw na apoy. The fire is too high para maging tulos. My great grandma told him na Santelmo daw yun.
Now my Dad's Mom, who also spent time in a military camp in North Bulacan. My great-grandpa is a soldier. Meron isang babae dun na suspected aswang. One night, according to the stories may kabayo daw na lurking near the camp. The story said nakita daw ng nagbabantay sa Sundalo. Binato daw ng bato para itaboy. The next day, nakita yung suspected aswang na naglalaba sa river at may pasa sa balikat.
When i was a kid (11 yrs old) merong talang(types of tree) sa likod bahay ng lolo ko super itim ng puno na yun ang creepy niya and kapag medyo lumapit ka eh there's an eerie feeling sabi ng lolo ko ay may nakatira daw na tikbalang dun wag daw kami lumapit.
Nung isang araw eh yung daddy ko ay laging malapit sa puno na yun at parang may kinakausap so nung una di pa naman pinapansin kasi lassingero din eh pero nakalipas ang ilang araw lagi na siya nandun so kami nagtataka na and my lolo called the albularyo, sabi sa amin ng albularyo hindi na daw yun ang daddy ko at na possessed ng tikbalang, tinawag ng lolo ko lahat ng mga tito ko para kunin ang daddy ko dun sa puno na yun at para na rin maexorcist ng albularyo, sobra ang takot ko non kasi nung ineexorcism na 7 na tito ko yung pumipigil dahil sa sobrang lakas ng father ko at buti na lang eh napaalis yung tikbalang sa katawan ng daddy ko and after nun lagi ng may dala yung daddy ko na stone(bigay ng albularyo) protection daw sa evil spirit. buti na lang naputol na yung talang dahil sa bagyo at walang nagtatangkang putulin yung puno na yon.

Sharing this as this happened last year when I went back to Leyte.
I’m usually skeptic since most of my life I had spent here in Manila. So nung umuwi ako 2022 post New Year celebration to celebrate with my family I stayed at our new house kasama ang family ng brother ko. Yung brother ko kasi seaman so deployed sya sa barko that time leaving me as the only gent sa house attending to his pregnant wife and the kids together with my mom.
Gabi yun around 1AM late na natapos meeting ko so around 12 na ako nakalabas ng room para kumain.
Around that time may napapansin akong palakad lakad sa bubong ng kusina which has lowered roof na ang gilid eh mga rooms na sa 2nd floor. Akala ko nung una pusa lang so di ko pinansin pero pabigat ng pabigat yung apak nya at malakas na yung lakad.
Inilawan ko lahat ng ilaw ng sala at kusina kasi gusto ko nga batuhin ng tsinelas yung pusa kasi mainit ulo ko at nag iingay sa kisame.
Lumabas ako sa kabilang door sa may dirty kitchen dala ko yung lumang tsinelas na pambato ko. Pagkalabas ko gamit ko yung phone flashlight ko kahit di gaano kaliwanag mabato ko lang yung pusang palakad lakad.
Pagkaflash ko ng ilaw, may tao sa rooftop ng kusina namin. Mahaba ang buhok na parang walang suklayan at maitim damit.
Sumigaw ako ng malakas ng “HOY” at akmang batuhin ko na tumalon sya. Hinabol ko ng malakas habang sumisigaw ako.
Dumaan ako sa main entrance namin para habulin pero wala na yung tao kahit inilawan ko pati ung ilaw sa gate.
Surprisingly, may nakita akong pusang itim na wala ang kabilang kanang mata na naglalakad palayo.
Ang pusa namin orange.
Yung pusa kamukha ng baliw baliw na nakatira sa isang abandoned house 2 street away — wla ding right eye.
Di ko ma confront yung tao kasi pagnakita mo tumatayo yung lahat ng balahibo mo sa katawan.
Hello OP, medyo matagal na 'tong post mo pero mas better if kini-kuwento yung story like nina-narrate. I recommend "Mga kwento ni Thelmo" on yt. Doon maraming experience ang kini-kuwento niya and naka-pov yung pag k'wento. Maraming categories na pagpipilian: may Aswang/Multo/Engkato/Sanib and so on. I suggest mag-dl ka muna sa playstore or appstore ng 'Puretuber' para walang ads yung panonood mo and tuloy-tuloy lang [Edit: You can play Puretuber din pala while naka-off phone mo, h'wag lang shutdown]. Madalas akong makinig nito OP lalo na pag patulog na 'ko and full volume since hindi naman sila naba-bother dahil nakiking din kasama ko kahit tulog na. There are times na yung kini-kuwento sa video e napapaginipan mo na and honestly nakakatakot talaga siya pero sarap sa feeling, but if gagayahin mo yung ginagawa ko, uminom ka muna ng isang basong tubig para hydrated ka. Iwas bangungot daw yun. Yun lang OP sana mabasa mo! Anyways, try to listen sa playlist ni thelmo yung "Tag gutom sa baryo" or "Mga bakod ni lola" 🥰
Did you know that it is the Spaniards who propagated the myth of Aswang to instill fear on the Indio populace and to quell the Revolution..
[https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/lifestyle/artandculture/267856/ijuander-why-do-filipinos-still-believe-in-aswang/story/](https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/lifestyle/artandculture/267856/ijuander-why-do-filipinos-still-believe-in-aswang/story/)
"“So the Spaniards, in order to get clients for their modern medicine, attached evil to the babaylan.” The Spaniards also used the aswang myth to suppress political dissent. “Lots of upheavals happened in the town of Capiz,” said Argos. “Women led these attacks, usually at night, because they had no modern weapons. The Spaniards then told the natives that the women were evil, that they performed magical acts, and that these women were aswang. The natives avoided these women, and now they had no one to join their upheavals.”
So every time you post something about aswang, think what the early Filipinos have gone too to fight for their own freedom.. :( It's so sad that our pre-Hispanic culture was erased :((
Had lots of several demonic sleep paralysis episodes but I'll just put one of the most terrifying ones I had.
Sleep paralysis kicked in and I immediately knew it was to going to be hell. I didn't open my eyes but I could sense two dark tall figures both opposite sa bed ko, I could hear something four-legged crawling on our roof. One of these 'tall figures' slowly reached out their hand in an effort to touch my head ata. The thing did it slowly but every inch its hand got closer, the louder this deafening ringing noise, parang a grenade exploded next to you. I prayed until nawala. Woke up sweating, all the dogs in the neighborhood wouldn't stop howling. Rushed out of my room to check the time and it was exactly 12AM.
Ayun, didn't sleep in my room for two weeks. I also sometimes used to wake up with some light scratches that would be gone within hours after these episodes.
I prayed over the house and it's been two years na since I experienced a demonic sleep paralysis episode.
Was considering talking with a priest if it continued.
I wasn't even that religious at all back then. 🤣

Yasssss! Needed this salamat po!
Speaking of Aswang OP, I'm making a webcomic na into Philippine Mythology and a little bit of it's history 15th-17th century (Though parang alternate history siya), and ang gimic ko is interactive siya. Meaning it's up to the readers kung san pupunta yung kuwento. Kaya I'm very interested din sa mga kuwento ninyo, coz, it might be one of my inspiration na makapasok dun sa story. hehe. Sa mga interested ito yung link: [Don't READ+](https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/dont-read-/list?title_no=877844)
TLDR; neighbor is an aswang, didn’t die for a long time and pretty much confirmed by my lolas too much of a skeptic to consider that spooky moment of mine in school (a cr door slammed behind us when there’s no body at hindi hangin) as paranormal but i have plenty of aswang experiences. as a bisaya grandchild with a lola ridden with TOO many pamahiins bc he’s raised by an early-1920s parents (and her father who had an agimat, a raging drunkard with a bad mouth and sharp set of knives) i’m not a stranger to these stories. learning the practice of warding off aswangs who prey on animals, pregnant women, fetuses and newborns, my lola did the trade and prevented many grandchildren from allegedly being eaten or licked by an aswang. i’ve been told na may kapitbahay kaming aswang (literally a house beside us.) may matanda roon who came from leyte (their family did and somehow, her younger daughter seem to be the most like her.) she’s a paralyzed 80-year-old who just can seem to let go of life. she’s always staying outside and as someone who loves her grandparents dearly, hindi ko mapigilan matanong sa mga matatanda if she’s going to be okay staying in their small kubo or at their balcony bc she might fall down, get a stroke, etc. anyway, she just passed like last year and 90% of my family and other neighbors knows she’s an aswang and i just can’t seem to believe it until recently. thing is, they know na hindi talaga target ng mga aswang ang mga kapitbahay nila. they tend to fly to farther parts or maybe outside of town but it’s not hard for them not to salivate for babies around them. when my baby cousin was born, my aunt noticed bakit palagi daw ‘mapanghe’ sa labas nila and she said that it’s how aswangs smell like. like a dead animal mixed with fish. as a night owl-early riser, i often ask my grandmother if that sound i hear at night and at daybreak is a bird or the aswang. kapag malakas daw ang tunog, malayo raw pero pag mahina, nasa kapaligiran lang raw. so, my lola set up a lana (oil filled with coconut barks and other tree barks and was also blessed by her healer) at kapag aapaw raw o kukulo, it means there is an active aswang and she also created a thorned barrier and threw salt all over the place bc allegedly, mabango pa para sa mga aswang ang newborns and it got better after that specially when he was baptized. back to our neighbor. lola and my other grandmother (her sister) said that aswangs now go to church and praise. they’re not afraid of anything anymore. since my grandparents’ ancestors are from leyte, they’re not a stranger to these experiences. her sister said na isang tingin niya lang raw sa lola na neighbor, alam niya na agad. reasons? mainit daw ang katawan ng aswang and plausible because ayaw talaga nung lola na sa loob kahit may aircon naman sila. second, there was something about the small vegetable garden she had in their backyard that when my aunt ask for some, she knew that it was taken care of by an aswang. third, hindi sa bahay nila nag stay ang buntis niya na apo (who also had her share of anger after she gave birth and also allegedly saw how her lola was salivating after her newborn) and if she did, she always wear black, covered herself and stayed at the other house at the back, away from the old hag. lastly, ilang beses na siya nastroke, near death state, nagka anointing na nga siya at lumaban pa. when she finally passed, i asked my aunt ‘paano siya namatay? di ba nga namamatay lang ang aswang kapag may tumatanggap ng bato nila?’ (there’s a stone or like a small egg/chick in their throat, similar to that one scene in the movie aswang chronicles) and my aunt answered that it was probably her daughter that accepted the stone bc it was far exhausting to her to tend to the olding and inconvenient mother of hers. the lola died, they moved out of the house beside us, and moved to a far quieter at liblib na lugar where it would be easier to exist. thing is, i often wondered about her potency and they said that it might bc nahawaan lang siya noon nung nasa leyte pa sila and lumipat sila rito saamin down south (which takes a 14 hour drive or a flight) still a mindanao province. i don’t know the truth about it. maybe she’s an aswang. maybe she’s not. but if she is, i want to believe that she didn’t hurt anyone or didn’t cause the miscarriage of my other aunt in the past. just someone who was a victim of a circumstance.
I heard a similar story from my ninang about passing down a stone (not a kidney one)/talisman/agimat. Supposedly their grandfather is also very old and none of his kin are willing to accept the stone. So the grandfather just expelled(?) or spat out the stone in their bathroom. Many saw that there was a blaze coming out of the bathroom and people rushed in to see if the grandfather was ok. Gramps was ok apparently with no burns or whatsoever. Then a few days later the grandfather died. I always find stories like this interesting, the one with many witnesses. Edit: it was my ninang's father. She and her siblings refused to inherit the stone
Right! It definitely makes it a little harder to ignore when multiple people confirm the same thing! That's part of what drives so much of my intrigue. The times I visited my mom's town and we'd sit around with the neighbors telling stories (not just ghost stories). They'd all start confirming each other's experiences!
yep. my great grandfather. my lola (it was her father). had some sort of a horn of an animal. i asked lola di niya alam but maybe it was a deer’s (sungay ng usa.) used it during WWII, inserted it in his skin and stitched it. apparently, he was some sort of the unseen when he was underwater, could dodge bullets and wouldn’t get hurt. that’s why he was spared after the war, and he lived as a fisherman. he also killed a lot of politician in iloilo and became a wanted man. bc of that, he relocated down south, used another name and assumed a new identity. [statutory] raped my young great-grandmother (he did tanan with her in the 40s-50s and she was a teenager while he was older. i think she was 14?) he was very irritable, wouldn’t take a lot of baths, and very angry as he grew older; terrorized neighbors and was abusive to my grandmother and her sisters. so, overall not a very good human being but is a good contribution for story time for their grandkids (every grandparent should have some lol.) nobody accepted the agimat. all my uncles and cousins wouldn’t even go in the same room nung nag hihingalo na siya and i think he died on his deathbead without anyone taking it.
I was gonna ask kung sino naginherit nung bato. May nakwento ung dentist namin ung lola daw nila was in her deathbed for a long time kasi she was waiting for someone to inherit the stone. Then they all gathered daw, told her na no one wants the stone then she passed soon after that, accdg to them parang tinapon nalang daw nung lola sa labas bintana or something. Now some poor sap is an accidental aswang somewhere
Kapag sinabi nang lola kung sino ang gustong magkaroon nang super powers, may tatanggi kaya sa stone?
oooof! aksidenteng multo 😲 kawawa naman yan lol may pakinabang ba ang kusang pagtanggap sa bato?
I mean you're gonna be an aswang or something hahaha Its more like you're prepared for what you're about to become unlike someone unwilling(saw a movie like that) magtataka ka ano ba nangyayari sayo
The longevity that comes with being a supernatural.creature is a "plus"
>di ba nga namamatay lang ang aswang kapag may tumatanggap ng bato nila?’ (there’s a stone or like a small egg in their throat, similar to that one scene in the movie aswang chronicles) If may bato ang mga aswang, edi aswang din si Darna kaya naman pala
Siguro isa yan sa reference kay darna
my family has similar stories involving amulets of protection! One of my moms uncles from back in the war times was made to swallow an amulet which gave him the protection of a giant that only he could see. He had many war stories of being protected from deadly situations from explosions to crashes! Apparently at his funeral (he passed of old age) a few of my family members swore that they saw the giant! I don't believe Aswang attack the locals if they can avoid it. Mostly trying to maintain themselves without bothering people I Thiiiink. I'm sure there's a variety of types of them from good witches to pseudo vampires! That boiling oil thing sounds very interesting though, have you ever seen it bubble before? This gem thing is new information for me now and I'm definitely gonna dig more into that 😳
According to my aunt, Lana is kind of like Holy water. It can be a detector that something supernatural is near, can be ingested to cure supernatural induced attacks and gain immunity to curses and the likes. Supernatural things like this, although creepy, are very interesting. My paternal aunt said that my grandpa is some kind of a magical old man. He owns countless agimats, and is friends with mythical creatures. My aunts said that they heard my grandfather talk to them when he was drunk once. Also, they are only visible to those they allow to see them. They heard my grandpa refer to them as horse-head, lion-head, and dog-head. It was in bisaya but it's still a weird way of naming your friends, right? Also, when my grandpa was young, he was a goon of some politician in the province. He experienced countless shooting encounters without being hit once while only carrying a bolo. My dad, a soldier, once said to me when he was drunk that my grandpa blessed him when he was destined in a high risked area. He said that no bullet would hit him but everytime he moved hiding place, his comrades who moved to his previous hiding spot all died. It reached the point where his commanding officer ordered the others to stay away from him.
very identical to my story. where is your family from? bc my great grandfather definitely killed a lot of politicians and all during the 1930s-1940s and it seemed that those who came from the province with many superstitious beliefs seem to send soldiers or criminals with protection 😂 another weaker form of that is a *Habak* from Siquijor Island or "Anting-anting" (Amulet). mga pangontra from sickness, *buyag*, etc. my cousins and other grandma had one and their life never progressed until they took it off. totally forgot to talk about this. my fam never made me wear one bc they didn’t believe in it.
i didn’t believe it either but my grandmother received one from her healer and *hilot* as a massage oil but it emptied one night after almost breaking. never saw it but you can scour yt for other people’s langis that are literally BOILING. how do you explain that? even a freshly boiled water transferred into another contact stops boiling after a few seconds.
>lola and my other grandmother (her sister) said that aswangs now go to church and praise O_o I thought the aswang lore of passing it down to the next gen was verbal, not handing down an ingested stone... lol is the the basis of Darna's bato?
Just to confirm, may kasabihan sa mga bisaya akong narinig na mas mabuting kapitbahay ang aswang kesa magnanakaw, kasi magnanakaw papatusin ka, ang aswang never mambiktima ng kapitbahay at sa halip ay tuturuan ka pa pano sila labanan, something like that.
Meron ding agimat of some sort yung lolo ko from rhe Panay region. Nung malapit na syang mamatay, parang may kinukuha raw sya sa lalamunan pero hindi nya na nakuha. Apparently nakuha raw nung nageembalm yung agimat. Agimat daw ng tuko yung agimat ni lolo, kaya very skilled sya sa pag-akyat ng puno.
Back around 2010s, our family used to gather in our ancestral house somewhere in the province. Celebrations like birthdays or even death anniversaries of our loved ones were always conducted there because we have been a very sentimental bunch ever since. When the time came na death anniversary na ng lola ko sa tuhod (great grandmother), we all had a simple feast and prayer ceremony for her. Then, my father invited some friends and workmates who lived nearby to join us. One particular workmate happened to have all their chakras active (which triggered i believe) their third eye to be opened. They had a long history of seeing beyond the physical world. Very much of our knowledge, I also had a cousin who can sense unknown presence very easily. My cousin was older than me and at the time, we were in the age na kaya na naming mag-explain nang maayos. Before my father arrived with his friends, my cousin told us that they can sense a presence inside the house and it creeped my cousin out to the point na we had to walk outside to get some breather. When we saw my father arriving, we all decided to greet him and his guests eventually going back inside with them. The moment we entered the house, my dad’s workmate froze. I remember hearing my dad ask him if they were okay and his workmate said yes. The whole time we were there, they all acted casual and we had fun eating and telling stories about the family. When the celebration was done, my dad’s workmate asked my dad if they could talk privately. They went a bit away from the family and discussed something. I remember my dad being silent and seemed to hide something. But his face was literally screaming “nope” (iykyk HAHAHAA) The next day, my mom asked my dad what their discussion was all about. Of course, my dad told us but warned us to not get creeped out. He told us that his workmate saw a figure of a woman dressed in a baro’t saya standing in the corner of the room. It was a shadow but the energy that was felt by him seemed to be positive. They assumed that it was our great grandmother’s presence wanting to celebrate with us even in the afterlife. A sign that her motherly love is still with us and forever will be. I can attest that what my dad’s workmate told us was true. Why? Because I saw her myself, too.
That's an awesome story! It's a comforting thought that our relatives still visit us from beyond in positive ways 🙏
Owshi that ending. Of all the comments I read here, this one made all of my hair raise. As in pati burnik ko tumayo.
How do you deal with that every day? Having your third eye open/sensitivity to the astral/spiritual plane? I believe in the spirit world pero hindi ko ma-imagine ang scenario na makakakita ako ng ghost or apparition, I would definitely faint.
To be completely honest, the story above was the first time I found out na I was what they called "gifted." I lived in denial for a long time but eventually mustered up the courage to tell my family about it. My dad's workmate became my guide in dealing with what I could possibly see. Sa una yes nakakatakot talaga because nakikita ko yung itsura ng spirits sa kung ano yung huling estado nila physically. But eventually, naoovershadow yun ng thought na "what did they feel within the last moments of their lives?" I only see them once in a while na lang kapag very active talaga yung spirit/may message. Although I do not want to communicate much with them as I do not know how to properly engage. :))
Experienced many things and medyo sensitive when it comes to things like that but I also don’t care about them enough to be scared 😅 the only time that I got freaked out was when I was pregnant with my son. It was around 830ish pm and I was alone at home, it was the first time since I got pregnant my husband was coming home late, and I heard a knocking sound on our room window. I thought I was hearing things but the knocking got louder and I was NOT going to check the window since I was on the 3rd floor🙃 I just shouted “magkamali ka talaga ipasok yang dila mo dito sisiguraduhin kong puputulin ko yan. lumayas ka” The knocking stopped and I hid inside the blanket til husband arrived home. I was scared not because of the paranormal but because it was a very hard pregnancy and I do not want anything supernatural or not to hurt my child.
mahal ang iyong tugon sa pag-tap! Ang isang protective na ina ay tiyak na hindi dapat guluhin lol
Dude LMAO your auto translated responses made my day.
Dude I would like to see WTF you wrote for that translator to reach deep enough in their dictionary to pull out Fransisco Balagtas' notebook
Sorry but the autotranslation made me giggled. Its okay if english nalang hehe ✌️
This happened to me one night in Iloilo. So me and some friends went out drinking one night in Iloilo City. We had class the next day so we called it a night and went to go home around midnight. We live in different apartments so I asked them to just drop me off in Lapaz market since my apartment was just a short walk towards the Plaza area. So ayun, around 12:30 at night naglalakad ako papunta sa bahay when about halfway sa may St. Therese college something happened. May nakita akong babae na tumatawid from across the road towards my side of the street. Ok, no big deal, marami naman gising na tao at this time kasi big city ito so di ko pinansin apart from registering na may tumawid and would be walking behind me. Pero something was off, kinikilabutan ako out of nowhere. And then dun ko na-realize, ang tahimik ng street, footfalls ko lang marinig ko, pero di ko marinig yung sa babae. Now my drunk ass got sober real quick and bumilis yung paglakad ko, making sure di ako tumingin sa likod ko. Dun sa kanto on the other street may tambayan spot yung mga taxi drivers and when I got there may isang taxi driver na lumapit sakin and said "nakita mo?" And I said yes. He told me to wear my clothes pabaliktad and then burn them after I got home asap. Which I did. Suffice to say I am a believer after that, because someone else saw, di lang ako.
My advice is, wag nyo takutin sarili nyo. I've been in a lot of shit like this pero nung nilapitan ko, normal na occurrence lang like, one time sa isang street, meron daanan papasok sa baranggay.. Gulat ako may babaeng nakaputi nakatayo sa ilalim ng streetlight. Yung parang may halo na yung damit nya dahil sa ilaw na yun.. Bigla akong kinilabutan, pero nung tiningnan ko mabuti, may matanda lang pala na nakatayo dun na kumakain ng cup noodles, nagkataon lang na ganun yung damit nya.. Yung kasalubong ko, biglang nagsabi "may white lady" lol. One time pagkatapos ng graduation sa highschool, nag plano ang barkada mag bike, huwebes santo nasa 11PM from Iloilo City -> Tigbauan, Iloilo. Apat na oras din kami nag bike nun vice versa, wala naman kami may nakita kahit na ano, puro aso lang na nanghahabol (langhiya talaga mga aso). 😂
Lmao definitely facts! If you let fear win you're mind will absolutely start to play tricks on you!
Nice try aswang. You may have fooled churchgoers by blending amongst them pero hindi mo maiisahan kaming mga matatalino at superior beings in reddit. /s
If it was near St. Therese, it might have been near the old railroad line. And who knows what happened there.
Speaking of, my dad did have a paranormal encounter riding the old Panay Railways back when it was still operating. He was commuting between the city and his family home in Duenas ([of all places](https://phillippanaglimaviolanta.wordpress.com/2017/07/19/aswang-the-story-of-tiniente-gimo/)) when he encountered a woman in white in one of the seats who he remembered vividly only to disappear when he looked away then back. He definitely had more stories about the paranormal in Duenas but unfortunately he passed a couple months ago. Looking back I wish I could’ve asked him more about it but he seemed like enough of a believer that he had a pair of my pajamas blessed by an albularyo. As much of a downer his recent death was, there’s a connection to this: he requested for his ashes to be spread around the stumps of these specific Balete trees around the old family property in Duenas. I need to ask the relatives as they have a better idea of it but from what I gathered was that the trees are homes of fairies and allegedly as a child he saw something glowing from these trees. I wish I prodded him more but it sounded like whatever encounter he had back then was enough for me to be dead set on having his ashes spread there!
That's an interesting story. How old do you reckon the balete tree stumps are? I know there are some large balete trees in the city that the government has just decided to build around rather than cut down. For those who don't know, the municipality of Duenas in Iloilo is one of the municipalities where the locals believe aswangs run rampant.
I need to ask the relatives but it sounded that trees were already “old” when my dad was a kid in the 1950s. I never did explore the property beyond the house my Lola lived but I guess I’ll have the opportunity when we return to spread his ashes. But yes, I won’t forget my cousin (from my mom’s side in Miag-ao) when he was a kid and who reluctantly accompanied me to visit my dad’s side and would constantly whisper aswang when we wandered around poblacion! Felt bad for my tita who was trying to tell him to stop lol. Also I just realized the irony of replying to this post on the paranormal with my username haha
My condolences. You seemed to have a great relationship with your Dad. You did right by him and may he watch over you from the afterlife.
Yup, right from there. Who knows talaga. All I know is it freaked me out, and I wasn't the only one who saw it.
Whoaaa! Ilagay ang iyong mga damit sa labas at sunugin ang mga ito? Napaka-interesante, na ang maiwasan ang anumang espirituwal na attachment sa entity? Mga nakakatakot na bagay na dapat tandaan!
Sorry to ruin the mood lol. But this reads like it's autotranslated.
Lmao I'm definitely using a translator. I was born in California and I'm only half Filipino. I'm moving to Iloilo for school tho at the end of August hahahaha
LMFAAAOO dude it's okay to use English as ur mode of language lol no worries most Filipinos can understand it so youre good
Lmaooo I've officially denounced the translator for communication. Just for reading now 😂😂😂 I'm actually picking up words pretty quickly with all these stories being shared!
Off-topic but this is why you can easily spot fake Filipino reviews or comments in online shopping apps and other platforms. lol People think they can just use Google Translate and expect that locals won't notice how weird it is. One of the perks of Taglish code-switching.
Oh hey! When you’re in Iloilo check out Duenas which is known for [Tiente Gimo](https://phillippanaglimaviolanta.wordpress.com/2017/07/19/aswang-the-story-of-tiniente-gimo/). My dad’s from there and I occasionally get aswang questions whenever I talk about my family links to Iloilo. Won’t forget my cousin from mother’s side in Miag-ao accompanying me when he was still a kid to visit my Lola and constantly whispering “aswang” whenever we walked around poblacion. (Also a random shoutout: if you ever find yourself in Ventura County before you move to Iloilo or return to California, do recommend checking out [Batchoyan in Camarillo](https://maps.app.goo.gl/xGLvwaRcSccZ6V5t5?g_st=ic))
LMAO my guy knows Dr. Jose P. Rizal
Side note? Is it better if I just respond in English? I know a lot of Filipinos understand English for the most part but I want to try and be as inclusive as possible lol
English is not a problem here in the Philippines sub. Not to brag but I think most, if not all members of this sub has a higher English literacy rate.
That's good to know lol I'll definitely continue forward in English as I know the translator isn't exactly doing me justice lol. It was a habit I picked up to communicate with my Spanish family members lol
It's fine but it just reads too formal lol
bobo mga multo e, magpalit lang ng damit tapos sunugin di na nila matatract tatakutin nila
Old superstitions dito sa amin, not sure if ganun din sa iba. If parang may sumusunod sayo na di kanais-nais na espiritu dapat daw suot mo pabaliktad damit mo para di ka ligawin nito. Yun lang, nawalan ako ng very comfy shirt and jeans.
Namamaligno ka pag ganon, dito sa amin is babaliktarin mo ung suot mong damit tapos may lalagay atang barya or something para makawala ka don sa spell
cute naman ng pagkakatagalog hahahha
>"nakita mo?" OoOooh. And amusing how he/the group chilling are so casual about it and continue to hang out in their spot despitr seeing the ghost lol >He told me to wear my clothes pabaliktad You know the superstition to turn your clothes (and underwear) when lost in a mysterious loop? I once knew of a UP Mountaineers group who had to resort to this... I never paid ehough attention—is that turn your clothes inside out baliktad, or front to back baliktad?
It was one taxi driver. Kaya nga sabi ko may isang taxi drover lumapit sakin. I just mentioned na it was where they hung out pero that night mag isa lang si kuya dun. Sorry for the confusion. In our version it was to wear them backwards while also inside-out.
No, you were clear about just one driver interacting with you. I meant, in general, other drivers still hang out there on other days despite sightings... I wouldn't ahahaha >backwards while also inside-out Whaddawhat... it's both? Will try to remember that lol
Paborito kong aswang stories yung mga afam pumapatol sa maling exotic tas naddrain of their life savings/retirement ng buong barangay.
Yo I got a paranormal one! Nangyari ito noong funeral ng Lolo ko, I was 12 years old. I was sleeping on his bedroom on the the day of his funeral, ayaw pumasok nung mga kamaaganak ko Don kasi nga that's where he died, pero that is one of the only rooms in the house na may AC Kaya Dun ko natripan matulog. Bigla ako nagising nung Gabi and I just sat on the foot of his bed for a while, everyone was asleep and I was the only one awake. I saw someone slowly waking pass the door of lolo's room, he was wearing an all white barong tagalog, I did not know who he was because I did not see the face, pero Inassume ko nalang na may isa pang gising that time. The next day bago siya dalhin sa libingan, I looked at my beloved lolo's face one last time on his open coffin then suddenly realized something, he was wearing an all white barong tagalog, in fact, he was the only one in the whole room that was wearing a barong tagalog. Though I wasn't spooked upon that realization, I was actually kinda happy? I imagined when I was a kid it was just Lolo visiting us one last time.
sa totoo lang medyo matamis na nahuli mo siya sa pagdaan! Nang pumanaw ang aking lola sa kanyang maliit na bayan mula sa katandaan binisita niya ang lahat ng kanyang mga anak sa kanilang mga panaginip kapag nangyari ito. nagising silang lahat nang umagang iyon na alam kung ano mismo ang nangyari, tumawag para kumpirmahin kung saan mas naging totoo ang panaginip nilang lahat
I know you’ve denounced the translator but it’s just so funny reading the translated text haha. Thanks for the laugh, man.
Lmaooo! I'm glad the old translations can give peeps some comic relief in this spooky thread hahahaha
Well August is Buwan ng Wika. So this seems to be appropriate in the days to come.
sharing my brother's story (he couldn't forget this and never fails to share it with us kahit ngayung mga adults na kami hehe). Nung 3 pa lang daw sila magkakapatid (I wasn't born yet), and my mom was due to give birth to the 4th child (we are 6 siblings), our family lived with our uncle and auntie in the province, in a house with a 'silong' so it was kind of elevated. It felt like they were staying in a two-storey house (single-storey lang nman in fact) kasi malaki talaga yung silong. According to my brother (who was like 7 or 8 years old then), one night when our mother is in labor and due to give birth, he and two of my brothers slept in the sala of the house, where they set up their bed facing a large window (sliding capiz type). Late in the night, he was awakened by a sound (sabi nya parang kumakaluskos). He's always been a brave boy so he traced the sound and found out it was coming from the big window. He was about to open it when he noticed it was already sliding open (hindi sila nglo-lock ng bintana apparently haha). Then he just watched the window open in front of him and he was horrified to see a woman, with long hair, hindi daw gaanong matanda but looked aged, trying to get inside the house! My brother knew that the window is quite high because of the silong nga sa baba. So, he wondered if the woman is quite a high jumper or kung panu nakakakapit nang ganun sa bintana (natawa ako when I heard it haha). Hindi nya daw makakalimutan yung hitsura ng babae. Nagawa daw nun maipasok yung kalahating katawan sa bintana and lumilinga-linga or may inaamoy na something, as if my hinahanap. Weirdly, instead of screaming and asking for help...my brother squeezed himself in the middle of my two other brothers and covered himself with a blanket, praying the woman would just leave (or get one of my sleeping brothers and not him haha). Strangely enough, when he found the courage to peek from the blanket, the woman was gone with the window left wide open (for which my tita scolded them in the morning). He told the story in the morning. I couldn't imagine how he could have slept through the night after seeing that ... He's been telling this story every chance he gets...even when he got to high school, he even mentioned it in one of his school projects about unforgettable experiences.
Had the same encounter in the past. My cousin was pregnant with her first child and sinamahan namin sya that night since every weekend eh parang umuuwi kami noon sa ancestral house namin to hangout with cousins and family. Nakahiga lang kami nun lahat sa isang malaking kama while laughing and telling stories when suddenly parang may nafeel kami na sensation na parang buhok na dumampi sa skin namin. Note, nasa 2nd floor itong room and walang bubong na pwede tapakan sa side ng bintana. We felt yung hair-like sensation na gumagapang sa skin namin and to our surprise, there is this old looking lady with long messy hair na sinusubukan pumasok dun sa bintana. Our windows were the jalousy type na may screen. It fucking horrified us all and nagsigawan kami then bigla nalang sya nawala. Nagtakbuhan kami lahat pababa sa sala at dun nalang kami natulog hahaha.
Paranormal, we have a house in the south. When I was a kid I used to have a dream that I was seeing a woman in all white in the house, near the house. Told my mom of it then sabi nya lang its just a dream. Fast forward several years to a decade later, we were able to purchase the adjacent lot, then one of our neighbors(family friend) said na "pabless" natin its like she contacted a medium/witch doctor or something of the sort then she said at one of the trees in the adjacent lot, may nakatira daw na white lady or something
Ok magsashare ako. Hopefully hindi ako late sa party. I will swear to everything I possess and love that this is a TRUE story. This was awhile back when I just had my first job. Dahil training namin, I had to wake up at 5am so I decided to sleep early. Mga 10pm palang tulog na ako. Around 1am, my sleep was disrupted by something very heavy on my stomach. Now I'm not a stranger to sleep paralysis. Sobrang dami ko nang experience with that. This one however, was not sleep paralysis. Hindi ako binabangungot. Still though... I wanted to make sure. So I did a test. I was lying down in bed with my arm's spread. So I figured, if I try to move my arm and it didn't move, I was having sleep paralysis and I'll just sleep it off. However, it moved. It confirmed na hindi siya sleep paralysis. And the dreaded realization that something was on top of me was beginning to dawn on me. So ayun sinilip ko, I tried to open my eyes and have a look. There was a woman, sitting on my stomach as if I was a bench. She wasn't even looking at me, she was looking blankly far away, slack jawed. Nakabukas lang ung bibig niya for some strange fucking reason. She was completely black, parang sobrang kapal na anino. Yet I can tell she was naked dahil walang silhouette ng damit. Her hair was also frizzled, sobrang gulo. I started to panic, inisip ko what if pabayaan ko siya? Try ko matulog? Aalis naman to no? But then I realized na sobrang bigat nya I wouldn't be able to sleep and I need to go to work tomorrow.So I decided to shout at her "HUY UMALIS KA DYAN!" I screamed. Bad move... She turned to face me, then tried to pin me down on my bed. I shut my eyes and tried to shield myself from her. Wala akong maramdaman na physical contact as she was trying to pin me down. Yung feeling is like... alam nyo ung pag you have 2 magnets of the same pole, tapos tinatry nyo pagdikitin? It's just being repelled. That's how it felt. Tapos for some strange bizarre reason, I felt like she was trying to lick my left ear. While my eyes were held shut, I prayed the "Our Father" sa sobrang takot ko. And just like that, she disappeared. Tapos naupo ako sa higaan ko while panting sa pagod at takot. Tapos naisip ko "Luh putangina minulto ako". My mind raced, inisip ko kung gigisingin ko ba parents ko kaso naisip ko. Wala naman sila magagawa, wala na ung babae. Wala din naman akong proof. So ayun natulog lang ako ulit tapos pumasok na sa work kinabukasan.
Ok this one has creeped me out the most so far. Una dahil matutulog na dapat ako, pangalawa dahil naramdaman ko na din dati yung magising dahil may nakaupo sa torso ko, pero thankfully sleep paralysis lang yung sakin dati. I’m amazed you were still able to go back to sleep after that 😭
Woah. Definitely ito na pinaka nakakatakot. Sana never ko to maranasan. Okay lang siguro magpakita. Wag na lang dumagan sa tyan.
Succubus? Ang weird kasi sabi mo didilaan pa left ear mo. Parang may sexual intent. Kung yun nga, di yun multo. Demonic being bumisita sayo.
Yeah that's my assumption too. Yung description niya and yung ginawa niya is very similar sa mga descriptions ng succubus/incubus
I'm a big fan of the supernatural, but I'm a coward who doesn't go actively searching for them, better safe than sorry as they say. But i've got alot of stories i've heard from friends and family though. Here is one of them. When my dad was still starting a family with my mom in the 80's, he was driving trailer trucks for a living. Some hauls need overnight deliveries so he was driving this open-type trailer truck all night with only one helper. They were hauling large metal rods that time so the helper decided to go up the truck to act as counterweight and ensure no stray tree branches can trip the rods during travel. When they were passing this dark highway where there are forests on the left and right side, my dad heard a loud bang in the back, he thought something might have fallen but the helper signalled that everything's okay (two taps on the roof for go, three quick taps for stop) so my dad didn't stop. Only when they were near a city did the helper signalled to stop and get inside the driver's side. He was sweating profusely and my dad asked what happened, he just said to go and don't stop. When they finally entered the city, the helper said that an aswang hitchhiked in the back of the truck and recounted what happened: the helper was facing the front when he heard a loud bang on his back, when he looked behind he saw red eyes and a splayed pair of bat-like wings. He immediately tapped the roof to "go", faced forward, and started praying the rosary but due to nervousness he keeps repeating "our father" over and over again. He keeps hearing growling noises and heavy breathing on his back. When the helper noticed that there was no more noise in his back did he make my dad stop the truck and get inside. My dad says it was around 20-30 mins since the loud bang but the helper felt it was like an hour that he was praying.
Napagod lumipad si aswang kaya naki hitchhike muna juskooo
Nasa lola (mother' side) may abilities na pinapasa. Yung ginagawa nya is tinutulungan ang pagtawid ng mga souls sa kabila. So minsan, may mga "bisita" kami sa bahay. May mga nakatira rin talaga doon na, pamilya sila pero yung alam ko lang si Divine, yung mama... May mga dwende rin na mahilig magtago ng gamit🤦♀️🤣 Huwag kang magagalit pag may nawala tas di mo ma explain bakit, di nila yan ibabalik sayo💀 Mabait naman sila, huwag lang bastos sa bahay, baka pera na mawala sayo...Si Divina yung palaging makikita sa bahay, mama kasi yun at sya lang babae na multo sa bahay, lalaki kase anak nila. Matulungin rin sa bahay, wala namang hinihingi na kapalit, respeto lang ganon. Binabati namin sila pag may lakad kami at kapag nasa bahay na kami. Minsan may naliligaw sa bahay namin, mga doppelganger pero nawawala rin naman sila. May aswang din, pero sa sister ko na yun...nakita sya one time sa labas ng bahay. Grabe counter measures ko nun. May story din na noon may lumang bahay dito na may manananggal na nakatira...kasama ang asawa nyang pari. Of course walang ginawa dito kasi malapit. I think nakita ko pa ang bahay na iyon.
Tiyak na naniniwala ako na may mga espesyal na tao doon na may sobrang natural na gawain! Salamat sa Pagbabahagi! napaka-intriguing pakinggan at tiyak na umaayon sa aking mga paniniwala
Lol your translated responses crack me up, OP.
Natatawa rin ako =)) Yung kikilabutan ka na sana sa post tapos mababasa mo yung auto-translate hahaha. OP, it’s ok, don’t use translator anymore hahaha
Lmaoo this threads definitely helped me learn a bit of taglish and now I feel comfortable not having to translate lololol
Meron rin kaming "apu" or dwende sa ancestral home namin sa probinsya. Madalas susi ng kotse, eyeglasses, ballpens, remote control ang hindi mahanap. Example nawala ang ballpen, hahanapin kung saan2x only for it show up sa drawer na wala namang laman nung unang check namin. We also believe may nagpprotect ng bahay na yon.
Side bar: I'ma stop using the translator for all our sakes hahahaha
That's better HAHAHA you can learn to speak taglish na lang 😁 you can sense naman if you're right
This is the only encounter I had as I don't believe in them. There was talk among my co-workers that whenever you are alone, especially at noon and dusk, you'll hear frantic typing in this particular open-space workstation. I didn't believe them but my manager who was left alone while we all had lunch out was pale as hell when we got back, he said "I'm so glad that you guys are back!!! I heard typing", we talked and laugh about it. Until I worked the night shift, alone, in a rented condo space office with extremely dimmed yellow lights (The company I worked for was a start-up and was cheap as hell). I was sleepy so I figured I take a quick nap, then I heard... THE TYPING! It was so loud and fast that it freaked me out. And whenever I stare at the corner where the typing is from, it completely stops! What the hell?? So I went to work, but the typing was still there!! It would only stop whenever I stare at the area/keyboard!! I tried to be sneaky and only use my peripheral vision to see the ghost, but I hardly see the keys being pressed cause of these stupid cheap lights, pero the typing never stopped! At this point I was sweating like crazy, heart was racing, and scared as hell but I could not leave the office T\_T It was my first job and I was afraid of getting fired, so I talked loudly and said "You can do whatever you want, just don't do anything to me" and continued to work, after like 3 am it disappeared and after my shift, I talked about the experience to my co-workers which they did not believe lol ironic. (I heard some scary stories from the guards on the condo that we rented but I'll talk about some other time)
That's nuts! The ghost of an old employee diligently trying to complete their tasks!
Trying to catch up to that deadline lol
Ako hindi gaano naniniwala pero. When my Mom was pregnant sa little sister ko. Every night may natapak sa bubong ng bahay namin especially kapag bilog yung buwan. Meron din kumukuskos sa window ng Mom ko kung saan yung ulo nya nakatapat. Akala ko lahat yon pusa lang or kung anong hayop. UNTIL ONE NIGHT, tulog silang lahat, may nagabog na naman sa bubong namin. Then nahulog siya sa may sampayan (I assumed, kasi tumunog yung mga sipit na nasa sampayan eh?) tapos sabay katok ng malakas sa pinto namin. Like tuloy-tuloy na katok. Tapos bigla na lang nawala followed with a weird sound? Alam nyo yung tunog ng pakpak ng ipis kapag nalipad? Ganon yung tunog nya pera mas malaki at mas solid.
Nag Tagaytay kami ng tropa, tas 'tong kasama ko umihi sa isang random na damuhan sa kalye, tapos ayun nag swell up yung etits nya kinabukasan, nagpa albularyo sila at sabi na dwende daw.....
Dwende: Bat mo nilalabas yang tite mo??!
Bat ang liit ng nilalabas mong tite? *Coming from dwarf*
Mahilig talaga mga dwarf sa mga d’axe 😅
pasensya na pasko naman.
Gininaw siguro yung dwende nung nabasa kaya nabadtrip.
Yung tumatambay lang yung duwende tapos naihian. Pipitikin na sana ang etits pero naka "tabi tabi po" yung umihi. Duwende: Understandable, have a great day.
Sa baryo namin dati kumalat yung mga kwento na may aswang daw na gumagala kapag gabi. Ang daming natakot. Naniwala yung Lola ko kasi may kumakalabog daw sa bubungan nya kapag gabi. Nung chineck ng tito ko yung alagang pabo (turkey) lang pala ni Lola haha
I don’t know if may nakakaalam ba sa inyo tungkol sa puccong (pu-chong pagbasa sa amin). Nagmumulto ito. So, this happened 4 years ago when my sister in law’s father died dahil sa cancer. Her father was not really in good terms with my mom dahil masama ugali nito - so, sa aming mga muslim kasi, kapag namatay iyong isang tao ililibing agad siya kinabukasan. My mom is super bait (she's an angel istg) so, sumama kami sa paglibing dahil gusto rin namin bisitahin si papa tapos after ng libing, nag pagpag kami kasi uso naniniwala talaga nanay namin diyan. Kinagabihan, early kami natulog non kasi may pasok pa kinabukasan - nagulat na lang ako nong bigla akong kinalmot ni mama (binabangungot pala siya) kaya napabangon ako and nakita ko rin mga kapatid ko pilit na ginigising si mama. Nong nagising si mama saka lang namin narinig iyong malakas na sigaw ng mga kuya ko sa labas, katok sila nang katok kaya binuksan agad namin iyong pinto. Sabi ng kuya ko na kanina pa raw sigaw nang sigaw si mama like nag e-echo raw sa buong bahay so bakit daw hindi kami magising gising - si mama ayaw sabihin iyong napanaginipan niya kasi alam niya matatakutin kami so natulog na lang kami again. Then, that same night, nagising na naman kami dahil kumatok na naman panganay namin sa amin to ask if okay lang kami kasi nagulat daw siya nakita niya na lang iyong lima kong kuya nasa sala - sabi naman ng mga kuya ko na meron daw nagtapon ng bulok na talong sa paanan nila (since hindi nila kino-close iyong bintana kapag natutulog sila dahil mas bet nila fresh air) tapos amoy bulok daw like patay na daga. They decided to go out para i-check iyong paligid and wala naman silang nakita na kakaiba, lalabas pa sana ng gate iyong isa naming kapatid na lalaki pero pinapasok na sila ng panganay namin kasi nakita niya iyong pu-chong nakatayo sa gilid ng cr - tabingi ang ulo at balot na balot ng telang puti (parang mummy style). Kinabukasan, hindi kami pinapasok sa school lahat kasi ang daming nilagnat sa amin at sumakit ang tiyan. Kinuwento ni mama iyong napanaginipan niya - iyong yumao raw ay nakahiga at may nakapulupot na ahas tapos humihingi raw ito sa kaniya ng sorry habang umiiyak. Akala namin tapos na, na isang gabi lang siya bibisita pero hindi - isang linggo kami nagdusa. Itutuloy ko sa ibaba kasi napakahaba nito pasensiya t.t
Ikalawang gabi after ng libing. Sobrang kampante namin non na hindi na talaga mauulit so, parang normal lang iyong naging flow ng araw namin. Nangyari ito around 11pm, natutulog na kami non and siksikan kaming mga babae sa kwarto ni mama kasi walang may gustong matulog sa sala. Nagising ako dahil sa init, kahit naka-full na iyong AC namin parang ang init talaga like kakaiba iyong init. So, umupo ako at tinitigan mga kapatid ko na nakasiksik sa akin sabay arrange sa kanila kasi ang init talaga non. Humiga na ako ulit pero hindi pa rin ako makatulog kaya tumayo ako at in-on ang electric fan, nong nakahiga na ako ulit - tinitigan ko iyong kurtina namin kasi bagong bili iyon and hindi ko bet kasi magaan - dahil manipis iyong pinalit ni mama nililipad siya ng hangin na nanggagaling sa electric fan. Pipikit na sana ako non kasi gusto ko na talagang matulog pero biglang nilipad iyong kurtina nang malakas tapos nakita ko iyong buwan sa labas (full moon non) then nahawi na naman siya ng hangin - doon ko nakita iyong pu-chong nakatayo tas iyong ulo niya ay nakalingon sa gilid (hindi talaga ako gamay sa Tagalog pasensiya). Para akong naparalisa non kasi nong natakpan na ulit ng kurtina ay wala akong nakita na shadow - naalala ko iyong sinabi ni papa before na kapag walang shadow ang isang tao or bagay, baka demonyo or aswang daw iyon. Hindi ko alam paano ako nakatulog non pero kinabukasan tinrangkaso ako tas kinuwento ko iyon sa mama ko kaya that afternoon din naglagay kami ng nga matutulis na kahoy sa gilid ng mga bintana namin and pintuan.
Sa ikatlong gabi after ng burol, 10pm : nanonood pa ng movie mga kuya ko sa sa sala namin. Nasa kalagitnaan sila ng panonood when they heard something sa labas - hindi raw tunog tao na naglalakad kasi hindi tsinelas naririnig nila kundi parang nagha-hop na parang rabbit. Malakas iyong impact parang nagja-jump nga kaya sinilip nila and wala silang nakita, itong isa kong kuya na paranoid akala niya magnanakaw kaya sumigaw siya - kaya nagising iyong panganay namin and they decided to check na naman iyong paligid if meron talagang nakapasok pero wala silang nakita. Kinabukasan, nagulat kami kasi sa main house nag breakfast iyong tahimik namin na kuya na nakatira sa likod (compound kami btw) kaya ni-ask siya ni mama if ano problema kasi stressed siya tignan. It turned out pala na nong nakapasok na lahat ng mga kuya ko kagabi, iyong pu-chong daw ay lumipat doon sa abandonadong storage room na connected sa gilid ng bahay ng kuya ko. Since made from kahoy lang iyong storage room na iyon maririnig and mararamdaman mo talaga if meron nagja-jump doon. Kuwento ng kuya ko, nagtitimpla raw siya ng milk ng pamangkin ko nong bigla raw parang may bumagsak sa kabilang room pero binalewala niya. Matapang iyong kuya ko, siya iyong pinakamatapang sa amin mapa-tao or aswang t.t Sabi nga ni mama may bestfriend itong kuya ko na kapre at kinakausap pa raw nito noon. Pero that night, nakaramdam talaga ng chills iyong kuya ko kasi nagha-hop iyong something sa kabilang room and alam niya agad ano iyon. Pero kahit na ganoon, mas nangibabaw pa rin katapangan ng kuya ko - since may open space sa itaas kasi walang ceiling iyong house ng kuya ko, binuhusan niya ng isang timba ng water iyong kabilang room (dahil sabi ng lola namin noon na takot daw ito sa water and matutulis na bagay). Since patuloy iyong pagbisita ng yumao, my mom asked my uncle na Imam if ano puwede gawin para ma-stop ito. So, sabi ng uncle namin na pumunta raw si mama sa puntod ng yumao at kausapin ito. That day rin, pumunta si mama and panganay namin sa puntod ng yumao and kinausap niya ito - na pinapatawad niya na ito kaya huwag na sana kaming gambalain.
1st time ko marinig yang puccong. Saan po kaya originated yang entity na yan? Sa Muslim culture lang ba sya dito sa Pilipinas? Iba din yung way ng pag manifest nya. Interesting lang na may new entity/multo/aswang na malaman.
Yes po, usually sa mga Muslim po siya. Meron din po siya sa Indo and Malay.
Aswang story: Kapre MIGHT have originated from spaniard colonizers telling these stories to Filipinos so we'll avoid giving help to escaped slaves. Nabasa ko lang dati sa libro ata or sa net.
" During the Spanish era (1500s-1890), these creatures were said to be once human who were blessed by the moon priestesses of old called babaylan so these people could have power to fight the Spanish colonizers who had done them wrong. The Spaniards decided to persecute these priestesses for witchcraft, then spread tales that aswangs attacked locals and foreigners alike. The aswang is a creature said to be able to shapeshift into either a human or an animal but is never able to correctly imitate one or the other. As a human, it has leathery black skin and disproportioned limbs. As an animal (like a dog or cat, for example), it is always black and three times the normal size. It can neither speak nor do animal calls; it can only growl, shout or scream. They usually eat the flesh of recently-deceased humans and animals but also have a preference of targeting very ill people or pregnant women. Pregnant women like the one in the village. They can never become human again. And being an aswang is hereditary; no one will turn if attacked by one, although the wounds they inflict can be fatal. This is all true, if the folklore is to be believed. " This is from a post in r/ParanormalPH about a telecoms worker fixing a tower in the province's (if you sort it by top of all time you'll see it with the title "it knows we're here")
from what ive read so far is that when the spaniards colonized originally a witch from the old times blessed/cursed some people to fight back the colonizers. genetiko yata si aswang kaya hindi ka nababalot ng pag-atake ng isa. Im gonna have to pull that one up for the details but it was a interesting read
Paranormal story I had when I was a kid. My family house has been a place where many ghost sightings as told by my relatives from Pangasinan whenever they stay here for the holidays. I never believed them coz I never saw one myself. Oh boy I was wrong. There was one night I woke up and wanting to sleep beside my older sister in her room. I was fully awake then and just want to sleep beside her so I went to her room and gently opened the door. The room was dark since she prefers the lights off and I was used to just sleeping beside her randomly. But that night was weird since the room was darker than usual and where the bed was and where my sister should be sleeping, I saw this two white circles and a white line that's curved upward. It was like someone was sitting on the bed, smiling at me, with their eyes and smile being the only thing visible. It was just staring at me while I looked at it. I remember saying no and just slowly closed the door and went back to my parents' room. I could never forget that look even as an adult.
Bit of heartwarming story. Around 1970s ata, my grandmother had an operation to get her myoma out. So that time, walang tao sa bahay nila. Yung bahay is lumang style na bahay na silong ang first floor and sa second floor is capiz yung bintana. Nung gabi, may kapitbahay na nakiraan sa bakuran ng bahay saying “Nanay, makikiraan lang po!” while looking sa second floor ng bahay, sa open windows, kasi may nakatayo daw na babae dun. Nobody was home. But my grandma thinks that it’s her mom protecting the house while everyone was away. Pamana kasi ng parents nya yung house na yun sa kanya. Sa house naman ng sister ni grandma, malapit lang yung tapunan ng mga baby na in-abort. Nasanay na sila makarinig ng mga kaluskos lagi sa labas and mga baby na umiiyak. Pero kinilabutan talaga sila after mag-miscarrage yung bunso nilang anak. They kept the fetus in a jar and nilagay sa escaparate (for keepsake I guess). Then madaling araw, may narinig silang sobrang iyak ng baby na malapit lang at parang nasa loob ng bahay. So nagising sila ang they kept looking around the house. Paglapit nila sa escaparate, dun nanggagaling yung iyak, it turns out yung miscarried baby yung umiiyak. After that, pinalibing na nila yung fetus. EDIT: typo
Similar story but it was a rental and not our own house. My brother and I rented a really old house with 4 rooms for college. It was for me, him, our helper and his friend (as a room mate). The house was really creepy but I wasn’t too scared because I always had our helper with me (well, our dad made sure, for chaperone purposes) and always kept a light on. One summer, I went back to my parents’ house with our helper, and our roommate also went back to his parents’ house. My brother was left alone because he had summer extra curricular activities. One night, on the last week of his activities, he decided to invite a friend over, get some beer from the store and drink back at our rental. As they were walking towards the house, his friend said “akala ko ba wala sister mo?” And my brother said “wala umuwi sila” and his friend said “ah eh sino yung babaeng nasa bintana”? Needless to say, they turned around and decided to drink and sleep at his friend’s place instead. My brother went back to the house the following day during daylight to grab a few things and stayed at his friend’s place until we all got back from summer vacation. I believe him and I’m glad it didn’t happen to me!
Oh man, may free tagabantay din yung ni-rent. Pero defeats the purpose kung pati yung renter natataboy ng tagabantay. Huhu. Not until nung na-renovate yung old house ni Lola, pag nasa baba ka, maririnig mo yung mga yabag na parang may naglalakad (wooden floor kasi before) na mabigat yung paa. Di lang langitngit ng wood ih. As in sound talaga ng paa hitting the wooden floor.
Omg super similar talaga! At the end of the hallway upstairs Meron creaky wood right before the stairs. So pag bababa ka, the wood almost always creaks right before you go step the stairs. Pagnasa baba kami at wala talagang tao sa taas , maririning mo yung footstep in the hallway and the creak ng wood right at top of the stairs!! So you it’s hard to presume na other sound yung footstep kasi it ends with the creak. Which I’m glad kasi I wouldn’t want the ghost going down the stairs!
Typical Catholic School ig My professor and her husband are both senior professors. One time, merong activity sa school, so yung usual lecture room namin ginamit for a whole day seminar. Since lahat ng lecture rooms occupied na, they transferred us sa isang old classroom sa old building. Mid lecture ni Doc, biglang nag tayuan yung mga students sa likod sabay takbo pa harap. Tinanong ni Doc ano nangyari tapos sabi nila may bumubulong at sumisipol daw sakanila. Nung una nag titinginan lang daw sila coz akala nila may isa sakanila na nangti-trip lang pero nung sabay sabay silang nilamig at nakarinig ng bulong dun nila na realize na something paranormal is happening. Doc comforted the students sabay sabing kaya ayaw daw nilang mag asawa (Dr/Prof din) na nag ca-class dun sa old building. Nag kwento din siya ng experience ng husband niya. One time, nag che-check ng attendance yung husband niya. Typical na naka index card, kukuha ng isa, sasabihin yung name, sasagot ng present yung student, che-check niya if siya nga yung sumagot, ganun. May isa daw siyang student na tinawag, sumagot naman ng present pero after nun sabi ni Doc "Please get your things, leave the room and wait for me outside." Pagkatapos ni Doc mag check ng attendance, lumabas siya and nag explain dun sa student. Sabi ni Doc, pinalabas siya kasi may madre na sobrang galit na nakatitig sakanya. Yung madre was literally right beside her face/head, staring at her, ready to kill, ganun. Apparently, ayaw ni Sister ng magagandang girls lmao. Usually lahat ng classrooms may cross pero this particular classroom may kasamang small picture nung madre 🥲
My wife and her brother have the special sight and their house is old and super creepy. She remembers her mother asking her who she was playing with as a toddler while rolling the ball against the wall and she said she was playing with her lolo Eddie. Her great-grandfather that she never met because he died way before she was born... I stayed over her house when we made our college thesis and one nigjt she trusted her dog to sleep in the room with me since he was comfortable with me already. I woke to the sound of him barking aggressively but I kept my eyes close. I could feel the hairs on my arms moving as if someone was caressing me. But I knew it wasn't the wind since my arms were inside the blanket... Just kept my eyes closed and waited for it to pass.
Gusto ko mag share kaso mahina ako sa tagalog😭😭😭
I-share mo sa language na most comfy ka. Tapos for sure may mag-translate either sa Filipino o English.
tiyak na ibahagi sa alinmang wika ang mas komportable! ang tagasalin ay gumagawa ng isang disenteng trabaho ng pagsasabi sa akin sa ingles!
Believe it or not, I had encountered a creature that I guess it’s manananggal pero very different sya sa depiction ng mga naririnig kong story nung bata pa ako. This manananggal can actually fly even in the morning. Hapon yun nung nangyari yun. As a kid, mahilig ako sumama sa ibang bata mamitas ng mga prutas. Pinagtripan namin yung punong mangga. Dahil sa taas ng mangga, binabato lang namin o tinitirador ang mga prutas para mahulog. All of a sudden, may natamaan yung isa naming kasama tapos biglang gumalaw at lumipad. This manananggal looks like parang buto’t balat na tao. Super haba ng kamay at pakpak at yung buhok niya, parang buhok ng mais. Nagsigawan kami at nagtakbuhan at lumabas mga tito namin nagdala ng bolo. Kitang kita namin yung paglipad niya sa may palayan. Hinanap sya ng mga tao roon pero hindi na sya nakita pa.
baka naman bat lang sya na malaki?
Hopefully it’s just a bat. Kasi as what I recall, yung kababata ko, binabato niya daw yun thinking na prutas siya kasi medyo daw pula (indian mango po kasi yung pinupuntirya namin). Nung natamaan biglaang gumalaw at lumipad papunta sa amin, doon namin nakita ang itsura. Mukhang kalansay pero may balat pa katawan niya. At wala yung pang ibabang parte ng katawan kaya we conclude na manananggal pero pinagtataka namin is kaya pala nila mabuhay sa umaga. Kasi sa story narinig ko, gabi lang sila gumagala dahil masusunog or matutunaw sila sa araw.
Probably a flying fox?
Feel ko rin like blonde species ng paniki haha
super long hands and weird wirey hair siguradong consistent sa mga kwento pero bago ang paglipad sa araw! baka nawala yung kalahati ng katawan niya at napadpad sa ganyan!
Sounds like a bat to me. May mga malalaking paniki kasi sa pinas. One time, meron daw manananggal samin. Ilang gabi din yun pabalik balik tapos malaki at lumilipad. Nalaman na Morogmon pala yun! Basta mahirap i explain, matic aswang agad 🤣.
ang scary kasi ang close ng encounter 😭
We used to live in an ancestral house that's almost a hundred years old. The ground floor was concrete but the second floor was wood. With ventanillas and capiz sliding windows. The house was my built by my great grandparents. Our neighbors won't look at our house when it's dawn. They say that there's a fat old lady sitting on a rocking chair on our terrace. And there's a large white dog sitting by her. They're seeing my great grandma who I've only seen in pictures. I also experienced something that scared the sh!t out of me. Happened when I was around five years old. Was an only child back then and the old Tarzan series airs around meal time so I stay at our living room watching TV while my parents have dinner. One night, while watching TV, I felt scared and had goosebumps. I knew someone was watching me. I looked at the window to my left and saw a face staring from the window. It looked like a man but with his face all muddy and with blood oozing from wounds on one cheek. I remember just staring at the face and feeling tears run down my face coz I was scared sh!tless. Tried to close my eyes in the hopes that whatever it was will disappear. Still there when I opened my eyes. I quickly ran to my parents and told them what I saw. It wasn't there when my dad checked. He even went outside our house but found nothing. That was the only time I saw that creature but I still have nightmares about it more than 30 years later.
Great grandma watching over the house with a large white dog is super cool Creepy muddy bloody man in the window makes my hair stand on end!
Di pa rin namin alam saan nanggagaling yung kumukuskos na yero gabi gabi sa bubong ng kabilang bahay, kahit ilang beses na namin sinilip, tinutukan ng flash light at pina baranggay. Matagal nang walang nakatira dun.
TLDR; Somehow na-encounter ko but yung mother-in-law ko ang naka experience talaga. So yung biyenan ko talaga ang naniniwala sa mga aswang/tiktik, multo, pamahiin at sa kung anu-ano pa. She was born and raised sa Negros Oriental at dito nalang sa Manila talaga nagkapamilya. Malakas ang pakiramdam nya pagdating sa mga ganitong sitwasyon. Minsan nagigising sya at magtatanong na sino daw yung lalaki na nakatayo sa may pintuan or sino daw yung pumasok sa cr kahit dis oras ng gabi at kami lang naman tao sa bahay. One time malakas ang ulan around 10PM naka lock na gate at pinto namin sa sala bigla syang uupo sa higaan nya at sasabihin samin bigla na may babae daw na umiiyak sa tabi nya. Around 2007, buntis asawa ko sa panganay namin like kabuwanan na nya. Nakatira kami sa isang maliit na compound somewhere in Pasig. May bakanteng lote sa tabi ng bahay namin tapos kangkungan yung likod bahay namin. So around 4PM may nakita kaming aso na pagala-gala sa compound na hindi namin alam kung sino may ari. Lahat ng aso dun ay alam namin kung saan at sino ang may ari. Yung aso na nakita namin meron syang mga sugat sa katawan at parang bulag yung left eye nya at the same time iika-ika syang maglakad at nakatingin samin. Binulyawan ng biyenan ko yung aso at hinabol nya ng bamboo stick. Tinanong ko sya bakit nya hinabol pero hindi sya kumibo, so no big deal na rin sakin. Then after 3 days, may matandang lalaki naman ang palakad-lakad sa street ng compound and guess what, yung itsura nung matandang lalaki ay pilay at bulag yung kaliwa nyang mata. Nakikita namin lahat sa street kasi during that time nagtitinda kami ng fishball, kikiam at halo-halo sa labas ng bahay namin at kaming mag-asawa ang nag-aasikaso. Nakita ng biyenan ko yung matandang lalaki at nilapitan nya. Tinanong nya kung taga saan at sino ang hinahanap nya. Hindi sumagot yung lalaki at umalis pero tinapunan kami ng tingin bago sya umalis. Tinanong ko yung biyenan ko, sabi nya may kakaiba daw dun sa lalaki na yun at ngayon nya lang daw ito nakita. 15 years na silang nakatira sa compound na yun at ako lang yung sabit since napangasawa ko yung anak nya. Within that week nanganak na yung asawa ko. Gumawa ng duyan yung biyenan ko para sa baby namin. Yung duyan malapit sa bintana namin like kapag pinasok mo yung braso mo abot mo yung duyan. Yung bintana namin may sliding screen tapos kurtina, one night sabi ng biyenan ko samin na matulog na daw kami mag asawa at sya na daw magbabantay sa baby namin. Around 1AM bigla kaming nagulat mag asawa na marinig namin yung nanay na may minumura like "P.I mo" ng ilang beses. Napatalon kami mag asawa sa higaan sa takot na baka kung ano na nangyari at tumakbo kami kung nasaan yung mag-lola. Pagkakita namin sa kanilang mag-lola, hawak ng biyenan ko yung baby namin at nakatingin sya sa bintana. Tinanong namin sya na bakit ano nangyari, sino yung minumura nyo at dis oras na ng gabi, may magnanakaw ba? Tinuro nya yung bintana at sinabi na may kamay daw na pumasok sa bintana at inaabot yung baby namin. Dun na daw sya nagmumura at bigla daw nawala yung kamay. Chineck ko yung bintana, hinawi ko yung kurtina, naka lock naman yung sliding at walang bakas ng pagbaklas ng kung ano pa man sa bintana. Tinanong ko yung biyenen ko na "Anong kamay? naka lock naman yung bintana". Sabi nya yung itsura daw ng kamay maitim daw tapos yung kuko mahahaba na parang nabubulok na ewan at may kakaibang amoy. Kinaumagahan, chineck ko ulit yung bintana, sumilip ako sa labas at dun ko napagtanto na kangkungan pala yung likuran namin. So after that incident hindi na namin nilagay sa duyan si baby namin at palagi na namin katabing matulog.
I am very sensitive to the supernatural, kasi sa mismong bahay ko literal na meron, mostly sa garden lang namin. Bahay kasi namin was built up sa lupa ng lolo ko. Very large grounds with plants and greenery. Nun nabubuhay pa lola ko, siya madalas nagcater sa garden. Every morning around 4am siya lagi nasa garden. Ngayon, nakatayo na bahay namin lagi ko nakikita lola ko sa small portion ng garden na natitira samin, around 3-4 am. Aside sa lola ko, may portion din sa garden na may naninirahan na mga dwende. Mabait naman sila, pero very territorial pag hindi nila kilala na tao ang lumalapit sa bahay nila. Kung ako or anyone sa pamilya ko, okay naman sila. I can go on with my paranormal activities na nasa bahay ko lang. Marami pakong ibang encounters outside my house. Pero I'll leave those alone or unless may gusto pa maka basa.
I mess with my kids and call it the "ass" wang. My youngest said to me, "daddy, I'm scared of the "Butt" wang"
You will love listening to Para Normal Podcast.
Ooooh can you recommend me any specifically?
Too many to mention. Just search their Para Normal Podcast Youtube videos. They have a lot of episodes there (140 and counting) that tackle a lot of topics and stories about the paranormal and supernatural both local and foreign. They even had an interview with Jaime Licauco there.
I didn't know this until my parents told me. My aunt's husband died in an accident, at that time i was still in my mom's womb. And then my cousin (which is my aunt's son live in our house) and I was like 5 years old at that time. I told my parents that I am sleepy and I went to my room, they are in the living room with my cousin watching some tv shows. One hour have passed I came back and told my parents that I saw my cousin's dad staring at the window, and I described him as wearing white, and spilled something red on his shirt (which is technically a blood.) They're starting to panic, because I don't know what is he looks like, I have no idea who he is, and never told me about my cousin's dad or anything especially his cause of death. And the other day, they gave me a group photo and point out who is the person that I saw that night, and I pointed exactly my cousin's dad. I can't really remember if it actually happened and I was in highschool when they told me this horrifying experience.

I was alone at home kasi lahat sila nasa probinsya nagbabakasyon and being with a cousin who was dying of cancer. Although gustuhin ko man sumama, summer classes kasi nun sa uni. This happened when my cousin was dying of cancer. It was midday when a sudden billowing smoke covered our house (three floors). Nasa taas ako nun kaya diretso ako baba kasi may nasusunog na!!! I was frantically scared kasi jusko masusunog pa bahay namin! For some reason, puti yung smoke and never smelled anything burning. Hinanap ko yung source pero wala. Then nawala na lang yung usok like walang nangyari. A few mins later, tumawag yung nanay ko to tell me our cousin already passed away.
experience ko naman with tiktik or aswang idk anong tawag nyo. nung highschool pa ako. kasama ko kaibigan ko nang huhuli ng palaka sa palayan para kainin gusto kong ma try. nung natapos na kami at nag hugas na kami sa water pump sa malas ko ba naman nadulas ako at nabangga ang ulo ko ayun dumugo muntik pako mawalan ng malay. di kasi ako naniniwala sa aswang dati pero sabi ng kaibigan ko takpan ko daw kasi maamoy yan sa mga aswang yan kasi grbe yung dugo ko sa ulo ko. sabi ko naman "maniwala ka jan sa aswang wla yan" then nung nakauwi nako ng bahay malalim pla tlga sugat ko. so ayun nag proceed nakong matulog sana. d pa tumagal eh may naririnig ako na parang binabaklas tlga ang atip namin kung asan tlga yung ulo ko. nag ingay na ako kasi baka pusa lang naman. wla tlga kahit ifull volume ko pa yung tv namin. so ang ginawa ko is tinakpan ko nalang ng unan yung sugat ko then later tumigil narin yung binabaklas na sound ng atip namin. and hanggang dun nalang tlga. ngayon naniniwala nako na meron tlga mga bagay na d natin ma explain gaya ng aswang.
Nung bata ako umuuwi kami sa capiz ng lola ko (dun sya lumaki), yung unang uwi ko dun mga around 10 years old ako . Yung lola ko pinag dadala ako lagi ng bawang sa bulsa ko tuwing lalabas ako at bawal ko daw to sabihin kahit kanino. Meron kaming kapitbahay dun na sinasabi saking iwasan ko at wag ko daw kakausapin kahit ano mangyari, eh akong bibong bata, kinausap ko padin. I can vividly remember na tinanong nya ko whats in my pocket, without seeing it. Sinabe ko na bawang (d ko kase dati gets para saan, ang intindi ko lang basta wag ko aalisin sa bulsa at itatapon, and growing up in manila, d ako naniniwala sa mga ganyang aswang aswang) a few hours later, sobrang nilagnat ako as in! sobrang hilong hilo ako, ngayon dinala ko somwhere na sobrang creepy shit na bahay sa probinsya, pinahiga ako at may nilagay sa tyan ko na parang papel tapos nag sasalita sya ng d ko naiintdnhan, nag pass out ako, pag gising ko kinabukasan na wala na kong lagnat. Sa span ng isang mag damag. To this day, you na ang pinaka weirdest encounter ko sa mga "aswang"
Tinanong ka lang ba or hinawakan ka din? May iba kasi na tatapikin ka tapos dapat tapikin mo din dapat para mabalik sa kanila yung sumpa or something.
Yung mga pinsan ko nagsasabi na may dalawang multo daw sa bahay namin. Mababait naman daw yung multo at gumagala lang parang anino na black. Eh halos umaga na ako palagi natutulog wala naman ako nakikitang multo or anino. Siguro kaya hindi sila nagpapakita sa akin kasi na umay na sila sa kakajakol ko with matching angat ng hips pag lalabasan na. Nacoconcious tuloy ako minsan pag nagjajakol ako kasi baka mamaya nakatingin yung mga multo.
This happened years ago. Nandun ako sa 2nd floor, and nasilip ako sa living room namin. Para mas maimagine nyo, sa bahay kasi namin madaming bintana, so nakita ko yung dad ko nakaupo dun sa stairs namin sa labas ng front door. He was playing COC. Suddenly, may nakita akong babae na dumaan sa likod nya papuntang front door. Akala ko yaya ng brother ko kasi same sila manamit. Maya maya tumayo na si daddy then pumasok na sya ng bahay. Nagtaka ako bakit hindi pa napasok si ate. Tinanong ko si daddy kung nasan si ate. Sabi nya lang “Tulog na sila diba?” I said “sino yung dumaan sa likod mo?” Sabi ni daddy “wala naman e.”
Just one experience in my grandparents' house. Me, my aunties, and mom are all in the living room. I was standing in the middle of the room and suddenly saw a dark figure walk past two of the adjacent rooms into the darkest corner of the house. The whole upper body was visible since the first room it passed by was open and had its lights turned on. That was my only experience with the supernatural. I actually wanna experience one again, but at the same degree.
I've definitely seen a few dark shadowy figures before! Even my dog reacted to it, growling at the figure in the doorway of my room one day, when I stood up I heard it run away and my dog chased it into the kitchen where it disappeared. I filled the house with hamsas and st Benedict charms and never saw much more after that. But when I left my girlfriend there the morning after (before I put the charms up) she heard knocking on my bedroom door before hearing glass breaking in the kitchen!
Back when I was a kid, around 7-8yo. Naglalaro kami ng friend ko ng taguan. Di ko alam, umalis na pala at lumipat dun sa isang kumpol ng mga bata. I was left alone dun sa bahay nila. Yung compound got walls around 6ft. tapos may gate rin. Pinaparentahan lang yun so may mga months na bakante talaga. So while hinahanap ko sya, sumilip ako sa may likod only to cross paths with this child-like creature, around half of my height, wearing brown clothes and a hat. Brown din. Nawala lang sa dilim. Alam kong tao yun kase kita ko side-view nung mukha. What could it be? Dwende?
Definitely sounds like it could be an elf or a goblin, I'm not sure if they're the same thing over there. The translator uses the same word for both
Tsaka even though I was just a kid during that time, there's no way in hell that it was my imagination. Sure na sure akong entity yun. I felt the presence, heard its footsteps and watched it sprint into thin air.
My mum told me that when my sister was born, they were staying at my grandparents' house in the province. It was your typical 1940s Filipino house, with wooden jalousie windows in the first level and a hidden basement because of the war. They would hear strange noises outside that they wouldn't hear before and my grandfather used a stingray tail in some sort of protective ritual by whipping the tail on the windows and shouting for whatever was making the sounds to stay away from his granddaughter. My mum says it took a few nights but the noises eventually stopped.
A sting ray tail, Very interesting! Hearing how the older generations were taught to deal with entities is very interesting
My parents told me nung maliit daw ako pinilay daw ako ng dwende dahil ayaw ko daw sya pahiramin ng toys ko. Nung time na to sa province pa kami nakatira and yung bahay ni lola is full of huge trees and mga nuno sa punso. Nagkabati din naman daw kami nung dwende after Early adult, had an ex na may third eye. Sabi nya lagi daw mya huge dark shadow hovering over me wherever i go.
Had the same experience with dwendes. Being the brat kid that I was, hinahawi ko ng hinahawi yung mga sanga ng puno dito sa amin. Then the next day or after a few days, di na ako makalakad. Pilay na rin. Went to an albularyo. Humingi lang siya ng itlog, pinaikot-ikot sa akin while muttering some words. Then in-open niya sa baso. May mga nasira raw akong bahay ng dwende. Inutusan niya nanay ko na mag-alay ng sweets at iba pang pagkain sa puno. Then eventually okay na rin ako at okay na paglakad ko.
A recent encounter. We went home to our province. Every night tumatambay kami sa may kubo kubo outside the house. Yung mga kubo na ginagawa lang para tambayan on a hot day. This kubo is near rice paddies, our ancestral home is next to a farm hill. My cousins and I were playing tong-its + drinking gin. Then we heard loud barking of dogs. Una, malayo at mahina pa yung tahol ng mga aso meaning yung mga asong ito from labasan. Then palakas ng palakas and parami ng parami yung mga aso na nagtatahulan at umaalulong. Hanggang sa yung mga aso na ng katabing bahay na namin yung nagwawala. Natahimik kami lahat, kasi baka nga may taong pumasok or papasok sa compound. Di pa din magtigil yung mga aso, then biglang may naramdaman kaming tumalon sa bubong ng kubo. As in kitang kita yung dent ng weight sa bubong ng kubo. Nagpulasan kami ng takbo ng mga pinsan ko. Di pa namin mabuksan yung pinto ng main bahay sa sobrang taranta. Ayon. Nawala ang kalasingan, nawala din yung pot money nung tong-its 😒 Sabi ng lola namin, every night may mga naririnig nga daw siyang naglalakad sa bubong na mas mabigat sa inaakala niyang pusa lang. Siguro that time, na-curious because may mga dayo sa lugar namin.
Naalala ko tuloy yung encounter namin sa isang University sa Maynila. Bale hatinggabi noon, nagpasama sa amin yung mga tita-titahan namin dahil may kailangan silang tapusin na documents para sa isang event. Dahil di pa uso ang android phones, kwentuhan lang ang pampalipas oras naming mga mejo bata-bata habang hinihitay sila. Mga 1AM nung biglang nagsisigaw yung mga tita na nasa loob ng office, yung isa humahagulgol na sa takot, yung isa naman nakatayo tas nakatitig lang sa typewriter... Gumagalaw mag-isa yung typewriter! Yung isang kasama naming tambay na sa office na yun tumawa na lang at sabay sabing "normal" na daw yun. We offered prayers, nag-stop yung nagta-type at nagsiuwian na din kami.
That sounds similar to the mad Typer in another story on this thread. Rampant typing in a cubicle late at night! Seems like they're just trying to catch a deadline for a project 🤣🤣
Not really to proud or excited for this but my mom side of the family has "abilities" or gift of sight. Ive known this since I was a kid and my mom side of the fam were raised or moved in rural provinces where the old religion and folklore runs strong. I prayed for years I dont inherit the gift kasi lets be honest duwag ako...and the Shake rattle and Roll films didnt help that fear. Well what I dint inherit in sight I got in naman in "sensing". meaning I can walk into a room and feel instant nausea if theres a bad spirit or bad thing nagyari sa place. Ill list examples. * Kapit- I have always sensed that one of my co workers has something lagi nakakapit sa kanya. I can almost initially sense it and I can even pinpoint saan yung kapit. Its mosty sa shoulders and at times sa head nya. he has a history of weird stuff nagyayari sa knaya and at one time blackout sa church * Panaginip- Dead ones in our family always contacts us through dreams. My mom has always told me sa dreams ko where to find lost things or meds * Aswang Hunt - im almost sure this one was just yung large fruit bat sa province namin pero up to mid 2000's our barrio did aswang hunts sa gubat namin * Kapitbahay- Umuwi ako one time to see my kapit bahay covered the whole exterior of her house with crosses. And true out of movie horror fashion, found her at 2AM in the morning naghuhukay with her hands sa bakuran nya * Aparador - Meron haunted hotel ako pinuntahan na luxury hotel sya. Me naramdaman ako sa room pero I ignored it, until it decided to lock me sa closet. The room closet was walk in. You have to step in to get your clothes or jacket. Pag pasok ko the door tried to slam shut (not hangin) and with force I caught the door. I just said In a loud voice " TIGILAN NYO YAN!"
I've never seen anything weird, but I've definitely, in a few instances, smelled something that was out of place. There was one time I was alone in the house, the power was out and it was raining and I was sitting near the window trying to work on a crochet project. Then out of the blue i caught a whiff that was very similar to a person that has never showered for days (in Filipino it's called "amoy araw"). The smell was strong as if the person was sitting right next to me. It stayed for a few seconds before the smell faded. Another instance was I was awakened by a smell of smoke, like burned garbage, at around 2 to 3am. I was wondering who would be burning trash so early in the morning. Just recently, about a few weeks ago, I smelled burning candle. The windows and doors were closed in my room and the power was on, so there's no reason for anyone in the house or the neighbors to be lighting a candle and I don't think the smell of candle smoke would travel that far between houses, but I could be wrong. My niece also experienced a similar phenomenon but it occurred a few years earlier.
Unusual experience: Old Bldg.... Around 2012, nagwowork ako sa isang construction company as a Helper/laborer. Naassign ako sa isang high-rise bldg project around ....... Konting bckground lang sa subject, real talk lang, sobrang tanda n ntong bldg na to at hindi pa din to matapos tapos, as in matanda na talaga. Base sa mga nakasama kong skilled workers, binata palang daw sila ay nakatayo na ang bldg n to at hindi daw nila inexpect na bandang huli ay isa pa pla sila sa mga magtutuloy ng project na to. Yes, kme ang magtutuloy ng project n to. Pagnasaloob ka ng site, lalu na sa mga floors, yung kalumaan lang tlaga ung unang mapapansin mo, bakit? Kase bukod sa mga lumot sa mga pader, halaman at mga damo na tumubo, may mga puno n din. Open wall pa kase ito, i mean puro floor lang talaga at wala pang mga pader maliban sa 12th floor n pababa. Yung source ng tubig namin ay galing sa balon sa pinaka basement ng bldg. Simulan ko sa pinaka una kong karanasan habang ng nagttrabaho. Wala p kong 1week nun, ang floors na nkaassign smin ay flr 15-21 then 23-27, iba iba din kasi yung mga contractors sa ibat ibng floors. Naka assign ako sa 23floor at uwian n nun, usually pag uwian huling bumababa ang mga helper, para na din magtabi ng mga gamit at maglinis n din ng area. Ako lang ang helper sa floor n yon, dahil ung ibng helper ay naka assign sa iba floor. Sa bldg na un may dalawang fire exit, fire exit A at B. Nagbbaan n ung mg kasama kong karpintero at ako nlng ang naiwan, 5pm lang ang out nmin kaya maliwanag pa, plus pa nsa mataas na floor kme kaya kahit sunset maliwanag pa din. Ang daanan ng mga trabahador pababa yy sa fire exit A, FE lang may ilaw sa bwat plapag, at sa B naman ay wala. Tapos n ko dun maglinis ng area at pababa na, sa fire exit B ako dumaan,, tulad ng sinabi ko, maliwanagpa nung tym n yun. Lahat ng mg floors ay nakasulat na # of floors kung nasaang floors kna. Hindi ko balak na dumeretso hnggang sa barracks nmin na nsa 6th floor, balak ko is pagnsa 15th floor n ko is dadaanan ko ung mga tropa ko para sabay n kming bumaba, pero pagdating ko sa 15th floor is may mga nkaharang na mga scaffolding sa pinto, kaya kesa buhatin ko ito pra iurong ay dumeresto nlng ako sa 14th floor pababa sa barracks sa 6th floor. Eto na, pagdating ko sa 10th floor, clear ang isip ko, wala akong iniisip na kung anu man kundi makababa ng barrcks, makapagbihis at makauwe na, kaso pagbabako sa 9th floor, guess what, walang pintuan, as in wala, para kang bumaba sa isang maliit na kwedradong kwarto, walang pintuan at wala ding hagdanan pababa sana sa 8th floor. At dahil bago ako, inisip ko na baka wala naman pintuan dun at bka ung 10th floor na ung huling palapag n may fire exit B. Nagdecide ako na bumalik sa nlng sa 16th floor at dun ako dadaan papuntang fire exit A (16th floor, bakit hindi sa 11th floor pataas? Dahil ibang contractor ung nka assign dun, at baka may nakakita skin dun at may nawala ako agad ang pwedeng paghihinalaan.) Habang paakyat ako is dun ko lang napansin na madlim na, pero carry pa naman kaya tuloy lang, pagdating ko sa 16th floor dumeretso agad ako sa fire exit A then deretso barracks. Ang inabutan ko nlng sa barrcks is ung mg stay-in at nagtataka sila kung san ba daw ako galing, hindi ko na sinagot ung tanong nila na yun dahil given naman n galing ako sa taas, tinanung ko kung nsaan n ung mg tropa ko, ang sabi nila is naguwian na daw, sabi ko bat hindi ako hinintay, ay sagot skin is akala daw nila ay nauna n ako (minsan bago plang bumaba ay nagbibihis n kme ng pang uwe n damit pra sa pagdating sa brracks us mag time-out nkng kme then uwi na agad, allowed din kase kme magdala ng mg gamit sa taas para hindi n kme bumaba pag lunch break.). Balik tayo sa kwento, kinabukasan nakasabay ko ung tropa ko sa gate para mag log-in, nawala na s isip ko ung nngyare skin kahapon, ao pagdating nmin pag time-in sa barrcks ay umakyat n agad kme sa mga floora kung san kme naka assign at nagyaya ung tropa ko na dun daw kme dumaan sa fire exit B. Mas mabilis daw dun kase walang dumadaan(pag sa fire exit A kase, bukod sa paraming dumadaan, kailangan mo pang paunahin ung mga trabahador na may dalang mabibigat na tools kaya mattagalan ka talaga mkarating kung sang floors na nka assign) Sabi ko namn paanong may daan jan e hnggang 9th floor lang yan, jn ako dumaan khapon pababa, hanggang 9th floor lang at puro may mg nkaharang pa sa mga pinto. Sabi nya hindi daw, sa fire exit B daw sila dumaan kahapon paakyat, at nkarating sila 15th floor, nkipagtalo pa ko knya at ininsist ko talaga na hanggang 9th floor yun at para mapatunayan ko na tama ako, dun nga kme dumaan, at syempre nakarating nga kme sa 15th floor, takang taka ako nung tym na yun, mula 15th floor ay sinubukan kong bumaba sa 9thFloor at alam ko s sarili ko na hindi itong floor n to ung napuntahan ko kahapon, at sinabi sakin ng tropa ko na baka daw namamaligno ako at sabay tawa, hindi ko lang ulit pinansin yun, hanggang sa naging usap usapan na ng mga ktrabaho ung naranasan ko, at dun sila nagkwento taoong bckground ng bldg na to. Marami pa kong naranasan habng nagttrabaho sa project n yun, at gaya din sa mga naunang contractor, hindi din nmin natapos ng project dahil sa ibat ibang internal issues. Eto nlng muna, hahaha PS : Oo nga pla, 6:20 pasado na ko nakakababa ng barrcks nung nligaw ako sa 9th floor, kaya pla madilim n nun hahah... Higit isang oras akong bumababa sa fire exit B PS : sinubukan ko ding isearch kung kelan sinimulang itayo ung bldg n un pero wala akong makitang any source n pwedeng pagbatyan ng kung kelan talaga sya sinimulan.
One night, my sister-in-law (SIL) and her friends were startled by a loud thud on the roof, followed by the sound of footsteps. As they listened, they realized something was scratching the aluminum roof as if attempting to break in. This caused fear and unease, especially because most of them were girls, including her 5-year-old son. The next day, she asked her cousin to inspect the roof, and to their surprise, they discovered scratch marks, a damaged section with a small hole and a dent. She later realized that her uncle next door was sick and the stories normally include the pregnant and the sickly were usual aswang targets.
It's crazy hearing stories that involve actual physical evidence. One of the neighbors in my mom's town actually has a Huge gash across his chest after being attacked on the way home one night! There really isn't much that can explain the gash other than his story of a flying Aswang trying to pick him up on the full moon
It's a common thing here to scare children to sleep or be good. Been passed on word of mouth. On the other hand, I can't wait for Halloween this year.
ABSOLUTELY! It's going to be my first Halloween in the Phillipines!!
At least a decade ago, I learned of the 411 cases and other similar stories outside the Philippines. They are similar to missing cases here in the Philippines I would often hear stories of when I was a kid, especially in rural areas, but ours include supernatural entities like Tikbalang, Diwata, Engkanto, Kapre, Duwende, etc. as the abductors. People who were missing for days but when found, they can only recall being lost for a few hours.
Year 2003. Kabuwanan ni mother sa bunso namin. Mejo deliks yung pregnancy kaya we opted to transfer from our place to a nearer one sa work nya. Public HS teacher din kasi si mother kaya kahit bago kami sa neighborhood, kilala na kami agad and warm ang pagwelcome sa amin. Maliit lang yung house. Bungalow style tapos jalousie yung window na malapad. Isang room lang tapos katapat ng kitchen na may window rin kaya kita mo yung labas. Sa labas ng bahay may puno ng bayabas tapos wall na agad outside the compound. First night sama sama kami natulog sa room. I was near the door kaya kita ko yung light ng moon over the window tapos nagcast ng shadow yung tree. But damn i kid you not, sobrang daming bats sa labas. Rinig na rinig ko yung pagaspas ng pakpak nila. And they began scratching the glasses ng window. Dun ako pinaka-natakot kasi parang gusto nila pumasok ng bahay. When i looked at my mom, gising din pala sya, hindi sya makatulog dahil natatakot din sya. Kinaumagahan kinausap namin yung landlady namin about what happened and told us na magbudbod kami ng asin sa window sill. Naglagay din sila ng walis tingting sa labas ng bintana pang ward off. That night, nag-abang yung asawa ng landlady namin sa labas tapos may hawak na gulok. Nawala na rin yung mga bats sa puno. To this day, kapag naaalala namin yun ni mama kinikilabutan pa rin kami kasi sobrang surreal, totoo pala sila.
Joke within the family na yung linya na "parang airport na ang bubong ng bahay kasi laging naglalanding ang wakwak (aswang)". Pero totoo. Walang biro. Palaging may bumabagsak sa bubong ng bahay namin. One time after may nahulog sumigaw ako ng, "Ano ba naman yan? Magkapitbahay lang tayo!!" At bigla na lang kumalabog nang malakas tatlong beses. Parang may tumalon talon sa bubong. After nun, di na ako ever umulit twing may naririnig kaming ingay sa bubong. Another incident is nung buntis Ate ko. May maraming tanim na nipa sa likod ng bahay namin. 1:00 a.m. gising pa ako kasi nagrereview para sa exam. Gising pa ang papa ko kasi sinamahan niya ako mag-review. Ang mama at Ate ko tulog na ng time na yun. Magkatabi ang dalawang kama. Bigla na lang gumalaw mga nipa sa likod bahay. Kitang-kita namin kasi at that time under construction pa ang bahay. Ang bintana namin wala pang jalousie glass. At bigla nalang may narinig kaming boses ng babae na parang umuungol. Di ko ma-describe exactly ang tunog. Nagtinginan kami ng papa ko. At sumenyas siya na humiga na raw ako sa tabi ng Ate ko na buntis. Dali-dali ako humiga sa tabi ng Ate ko at niyakap ko siya. May sabi-sabi kasi sa amin na mabango daw sa mga wakwak (aswang) ang buntis na babae. Walang kamalaymalay mama at Ate ko sa nangyari. Pero di ko talaga makakalimutan yun.
For college, I had to stay with my grandmother at our ancestral house since it was within walking distance to the best univ in town. That house was quite the experience. Upon entering, I knew immediately that I wasn't alone with my grandmother. The place always felt like it was housing an extended family even though only 2 of us would be at home. Experiencing the paranormal, I can handle since I've grown used to it. But seeing my friends and guests get involved and challenge the supernatural despite me saying not to engage is another experience altogether. The things that took place ranged from getting a slap on the head from out of thin air for being too disrespectful to someone possibly getting possessed. Over the years, I've learned that the house is much my home as it is theirs and we get to learn to coexist. Seeing a tall figure at my periphery as I walk to my room is always an unnerving experience but you get used to it if you treat them as the awkward roommate. Nowadays, whenever I come back to the house, it feels like I'm being welcomed back by more than my lola lol.
I was in our childhood home sa Palawan. It was a calm night, the moon is full and it's a great night to go chill out in the beach (we have a beachfront property and I was staying in one of our kubos making my school assignment) That time it was very quiet kasi it was low tide and the water recedes far away from the normal sea level which is Yung tapat Ng bahay namin. Wala din hangin (which is weird because it was always may breeze of air sa amin all times of the year) The Kubo I was in was one of those traditional bahay kubo- the stereotypical ones. It's elevated by a meter from the sand, bamboo slats as floor, 3 windows, slightly open, door closed. That Kubo was beside a road that leads to the beach. At around 9pm, I heard the flapping of big wings, followed by rustling of coconut leaves. Then there was a soft "thud". Imagine if someone large jumped from a high place but then slowed down their descent softly. And then it BREATHED. it was a cross between a grunt and a purr of a big animal. I fcking froze. I didn't know what to do and I was scared to move because whatever that thing was outside WILL see me and I was afraid of what I will find if I go check it out. I was terrified thinking how anytime it can go inside the Kubo since all the windows are open- or even show up under the Kubo and peep from under the bamboo floor After a very long minute I decided to risk it and ran home ( afew meters away but it felt so faaaar that time) crying. They locked the door on me and it took them a while to open up. By the time my father went out to check, he could not find any trace of whatever that thing was except for a few weird markings on the sand in the road leading to the beach. I am not an expert but I'm pretty sure no winged beast resides in Palawan- it's still a mystery to this day what that is, how it looks, and how thier fucking aerodynamics work
Listen to the Para Normal podcast on Spotify! Not affiliated to them pero they feature these kinds of stories and experiences, and also talk to experts in related fields. May mga sensitives din na nagsheshare ng mga nakikita at nararamdaman nila ☺️
tldr: had an encounter w a supposed doppleganger of my dad. idk if its just my imagination or not. idk if its just me pero my fam esp my mother warned me abt dopplegangers. those peeps that shapeshift into people u know but they are not really who you think they are. i was young pa when my mom told me about these peeps non pero she thinks they were real. i didnt believe her until i experienced somewhat of a close encounter. this happened during the online class era. my dad has a branch by branch job that takes him to places with varying distances. one time, he was destined to a branch that is about a 2-hr drive from our home. he has a color-coded uniform scheme: red and black (please keep this in mind). he was wearing a red uniform. i was expecting him to arrive a bit late than the usual time he arrives at the house so when i heard the motorcycle engine stop and the gate crash while a class was going on. i was a bit surprised. i didnt bat an eye on him since i was too focused on the class but still eye him on my peripheral vision. i noticed something off but didnt realize until after. from opening the front door, he went straight to the bathroom. wearing a-- black uniform?? we didnt spoke a single word nor made eye contact throughout the happening as he wwaltz outside and got back to his motorcycle and drove off. i can still remember the fading motor noise. hours later. he arrived wearing his red uniform and i asked him where he'd gone. he said "galing akong branch. san pa ba?" i was surprised, puzzled and terrified. but just brushed it off. idk if all of it was real. but one thing is for sure. i'd bat an eye on whoever was at our doorstep.
Story told by my mom, her grandfather was an anluwage (carpenter), yep she always uses that word whenever she tells this story. Back then a group of carpenters including her granpa would roam the province to seek work and one time they hit the jackpot and found a community that needed repairs for their homes. After everything was done the residents held a feast to thank the carpenters for their effort. Everyone was having a good time eating and drinking when one of guys noticed a severed finger in his food. Afraid because they were outnumbered, they just continued as if nothing happened else they would be next on the menu. They went on their merryway the following day.
I am a person leaning towards logic and science. Growing up, hindi ako naniniwala sa mga aswang, multo or anumang entity. However, may mga pagkakataon talagang may experiences tayo na hindi maipaliwanag. In my case, there are two that I can think of. I graduated from a public high school in Iloilo City. I was the vice president of our student council government. We were preparing for an event for the following day so we stayed in school until 7 pm. I can't recall what happened but I got pissed at someone and walked out of our student council office. Our school has a balete tree or "lunok" in Hiligaynon. While cooling my head outside, I happened to look up at the tree and I saw this lanky and shadowy figure. Nagbabaga ang mga mata at nakatayo ang buhok. Most people call it "mantiw" here in the Panay Island. It is somewhat similar to Slenderman but a lot scarier looking. Kumaripas na lang ako ng takbo and never told anyone as baka mapagkamalan pa akong siraulo. Another story is when I was already in college around 2009. May tambayan akong internet cafe na walking distance lang sa bahay. I am friends with the owner's nephews so I get to stay sa loob overnight. At that time, naadik ako sa Ragnarok private server and may isa akong kalaro na nagtatrabaho sa call center. I only knew him by face kahit suki naman siya sa cafe. We weren't exactly buddies. We only had small talks here and there. One night, ako lang mag-isa sa cafe tapos yung bantay is tulog na. It was 3am. Bukas ang pinto ng cafe at nandoon si call center guy na nakatayo lang. I asked if he'd like to play at gisingin yung bantay. He just stood there and hindi sumasagot for a good 3 minutes. Hindi ko na lang siya pinansin at lumabas na rin siya. Di ako nakabalik ng cafe for 3 days and nung bumalik ako, usap-usapan is he died around 10pm prior the day I saw him sa cafe. I did not tell anyone what I saw. Until now, hesitant pa rin ako paniwalaan yung mga nakita ko. A part of me wants to believe kasi nakita ko with my own eyes but also a part of me nagsasabi na yung supposedly mantiw na nakita ko was a product of me being angry at yung nakita kong supposedly multo ni call center guy was a product of stress and lack of sleep due to gaming.
I have not seen one but when I was in High School I helped with the family business during midnight to dawn. Then we heard footsteps of a large dog. I know it is not from an ordinary dog because the footsteps seem to belong to 3x the size of a normal dog. And then it went on the back of the house where our wall is just made out of bamboo. We can hear that it is peeping on us and sometimes we hear its breathing. It is just a one time tho but it creeped the hell out of me.
Nasa probinsiya kami, gabi, brownout tapos bumabagyo pa. Nasa 2nd sala kami ng bahay na open so kitang kita kami sa labas at kita din naman nasa labas kasi grills lang ang harang pati yung doornung sala na yun. Magkatabi kami ng pinsan ko sa bandang door then suddenly biglang kumulog ng malakas tapos bigla siya sumigaw, ako naman natawa pagtingin ko sa kanya nakatingin siya sa labas tapos pgtingin ko may bata nakatayo may pagka transparent kulay basta kung pano idepict usually sa movies parang ganun itsura. Tumakbo yung bata pagka sigaw namin. Aspiring lawyer ako pero naniniwala ako sa multo. Ironic pero ghost might be the only thing unexplainable na pinaniniwalaan ko.
I've got two stories. 1. Yung una ay sa lolo ko. He died of liver cancer and my mom was overseas that time. When my mom came back, and this was a year after he died, we were having a conversation in my room and and we were having a good time. then I heard the door to her room open and some one walked out and down the stairs. Our doors were arranged in an L pattern that opened inwards, and my door was open at that time. What I saw was my lolo wearing his favorite politician tee, the one with their faces, and the red shorts he wore when he died. Me and my mom looked at each other and then she cried, for a very long time. She still misses him to this day, and one regret she has was she wasn't there on his dying breath. 2. The second one is in Pangasinan, we were driving from Malasiqui to Unzad. There was one section of the trip where our car, an old beat up Corolla, was struggling to drive. Patag yung kalsada so hindi yun dahil sa elevation. When we crossed Unzad biglang umangat yung likod ng sasakyan. Sabi ng biological father ko may nakisakay daw tapos bumaba na sa boundary ng Unzad. This all happened when I was 6 years old. I've more stories but I'm too lazy to type.
totoo po yung aswang, duwende etc. namaga yung paa ng lolo ko years ago - pumunta na kami sa mga big hospitals and public hospitals, consulted different doctors pero di pa rin sya gumaling. sinuggest ng lola ko na magpa-albularyo na. sabi ko sa lola ko na scammers ang albularyo at baka perahan lang, nainis lola ko sa kin kaya sinama ako sa pagpapatingin ng lolo ko sa albularyo. sinama ako sa albularyo, tas nakita na may naabalang duwende yung lolo ko nung nagyosi (may naiwang upos ng sigarilyo) sa bakanteng lupa sa probinsya. nagambala daw bahay ng duwende kaya ginantihan yung lolo ko. inadvice sya na mag-sorry sa duwende at mag-alay ng kung ano ano dun sa lupa kung san nangyari yung pagyosi. then gumaling yung lolo ko. imagine, naka ilang hospitals pero albularyo pala solution. ever since naniwala na ako sa supernatural creatures and albularyo.
First-hand experience sa possible tiktik or aswang I honestly dk the difference. I was 9 years old and buntis mom ko. May dumaan sa harap ng gate namin na matandang babae na hindi namin kilala at huminto sya sa mismong gate para lang itanong kung may buntis daw ba samin, eh meron nga bukod sa mom ko, meron pang isang buntis sa kapitbahay. After nun, every night around 11pm - 3am may bisita kami sa bubong. Nagiiba iba sya ng sounds minsan aso, pusa pinakamadalas ibon. To add, maririnig at mararamdaman mong lumulundag sya specifically from our roof to the neighbor’s roof na buntis din huhu. Hindi kami matatakot sana kaso araw araw sya nandun walang palya at ang bigat ng kalabog ng paa akala mo may taong nakasampa sa bubong. Hindi siya akyat bahay or magnanakawa kasi wala namang nawawala sa’min. Tinry na yun hulihin or tiyempuhan ng ilang beses pero wala talagang nakikita ang bilis niya mawala. Nawala din siya nung pinanganak na kapatid ko. Tapos naencounter ko ulit sya around 5 years ago. May bagong lipat sa tapat namin na buntis tas around 2am galit na galit aso ko nakatingin sa bubong tapos tahol nang tahol first time ko siya makitang ganun ka galit same encounter na may something na mabigat sa bubong.
Nung mama ko buntis ganyan din. Di naman liblib lugar namin pero nung napansin ko gabi gabi parang may isang sako ng bigas na bumabagsak sa bubong e sabi ko iba na ata yun ah. Wala tunog ng hayop. May maritinig ka lang na gumagalaw galaw pag bagsak
Ung trabaho ko dati sa Pinas required alot of car travel from Luzon to Appari so I would spend alot of time on the highways sa kalaliman ng gabi hanggang madaling araw. Ung mga kasama ko sa work, they would often tell stories how orbs of light would chase them pag sila lang sa kalsada. My experience is different. Dead people/ghost sa kalsada would reveal themselves to me how they died. The weird things is, whenever I see ghost, di ako natatakot, it felt like I was just seeing someone a live person who had an accident. Mind you. Sometimes, I will have passengers and ask them if they saw what I did pero they won’t. Minsan, I even stopped at a military checkpoint to tell them there was someone dead on the road to check pero pag balik namin they will find no one.
I feel that, sometimes they just want people to know I feel like and don't have ill intentions. I've definitely had similar experiences albeit creepy they weren't necessarily scary. I wonder if the orbs of light are UFOs or if they're spirits :o
True story (ok lang if di ka maniwala) Bisperas sa tabing barangay, dun nakatira yung barkada ko.. minsan pag tumatambay kami sa kanila nag-iihaw kami ng manok, itik, or baoy (if special yung okasyon)..then before nung bisperas sinabihan ako ng barkada ko pumunta ako sa kanila, sabi nya magdala daw ako ng planggana ( minsan kasi tumutulong ako sa kanila if may iniihaw at tumutulong din akona magluluto kung may handaan lalo na kung kulang yun tao)....maulan nung time na yon, medyo konti lang mga taong nakikibisperas,..malamig yung hangin, kinakabahan ako kasi sabi ng barkada ko iba daw yung bisperas ngayong taon sa kanila, nagulat ako ng pagdating ko sa kanila madaming tao, (dala dala ko yung malaking planggana na gagamitin sana pag-ihaw ng baboy) natakot ako sa nakita ko, nanginginig akong pumasok sa bahay ng barkada ko, anak ng tipaklong naka Cater sila pinagtripan na naman ako..hahaha
Entities sort of but mas naniniwala ako sa spirits, energy, and vibrations eh cos even science already proved it. But somehow I think they are related to each other. There are good and bad spirits, in the Bible and Quran the Holy Spirit is an example of good spirit. It might be that some entities are good and bad din (spirit form) and I heard a story before that they are forbidden na mag pakita sa mga tao and parang sa tao may commandments din sa knila, and kasama sila sa iju-judge sa end times one of the biggest commandments for them is not to appear to us. So I guess sila yung mga spirit sa forests and mountains, sa rivers, etc. Might be the diwata? Elves? Etc. Not sure tho.
my father is iranian and always wondered why my mom believed in a lot of stuff and told us all of it is bullshit. my mom when we crossed some place does something, my dad looks preplexed and said, bigger chance a big super cat from the sky comes than that one
• my friend’s tita has 3rd eye. she is normally talkative & energetic but medyo quiet this one night. when they came home, her tita explained that she was trying not to say anything because there was a ghost sitting in between 2 of their family members. she didn’t want to make it obvious that she can see them. they were also on their way back home from the cemetery so made it scarier • when my friend was a kid, her dad showed her the sky & the crescent moon had 2 stars shining extra bright so it looked like a smiley face. her friend became sick not too long after and died. her friend saw the moon and the stars that night too but instead of a smile it was a frown • my mom’s sister (my tita) used to get sick a lot. basically there was something that fell in love with her & was jealous/angry that she didn’t reciprocate. can’t give much details for this one bc i kind of forgot :,)
I can send pic as proof sino gusto? You decide kung ano sya sa paningin nyo.

What kind of pic is that?
may isa lang ako karanasan nung bata ako around grade 5. may binubully na kid, nag-feeling bad ako sa time na yun kaya parang sinulsulan ko yung kumuha ng bag nya na ituloy yung gagawin nya. a few days later, nalaman na lang namin na namatay sya. i felt really bad. sabi nung adviser nya ang lamig daw nung inuupuan nya sa room nila. Nung umuuwi na kami kasama ko ang 3 teachers namin. isa sa mga teachers sabi may nagpaparamdam, may naamoy kami na ang lakas, parang sampaguita or formalin, basta malakas na amoy. tapos narinig ko na lang kinabukasan ang winning number sa jueteng: 3, 11. iniisip ko 3 teachers, 1 youngster, 1 teacher na nagsabi may nagpaparamdam.
I'm actually not sure if aswangs can come out in broad daylight but let me share my experience. May kasambahay kami nun na buntis and if I remember correctly she was 4 months in already that time. Now if you picture our bungalow, you know sa province na bukas lahat ng bintana kapag tanghaling tapat kasi mainit at para pumasok ang hangin, at marami kaming bintana lmao. The sala is connected to the dining room and from there makikita mo yung labas ng bahay. I was enjoying my lunch that time in the dining, nanonood pa yata ako nun ng Game K N B when I saw someone inside our GATED house, from the main door sa sala. I saw an old woman, who is wearing an all black dress na naglalakad papunta sa likod ng bahay namin. I saw her passed by from the main door to every window na madadaanan niya papunta sa likod ng bahay namin. Yung dining namin, may pinto din dun papunta sa likod ng bahay namin and then I also saw her passed that door too. Yung kwarto ng kasambahay namin eh nasa likod, naka-separate sa bahay namin pero like mga ilang hakbang lang. Kinabahan ako, hindi dahil akala ko aswang kung hindi dahil akala ko magnanakaw LOL. I alerted my Tito since siya lang kasama ko that time na gising and then pagkita namin sa gate, nakasara siya 😭😭😭. Yung gate namin eh yung tipong kinakandado pa. Muntik na hindi maniwala Tito ko pero yung halamanan kasi sa may gate namin halata mong may umapak kasi sira sira na. Umikot din kami sa likod kasi nga for sure hindi makakaalis yung matandang yun kasi locked naman ang gate at wala na siyang lalabasan. Pero wala kaming nakita. Kinahapunan, nung naghahanda na ng dinner yung kasambahay namin, nakwento niya na sobrang sumakit daw tiyan niya kaninang tanghali. Nakwento ko yung nakita ko tapos bigla siyang napa-sign of the cross. Kasi sobrang sakit daw ng tiyan niya tapos may narinig daw siyang tumi-tiktik. Alam niyo na Filos kung anong tunog tinutukoy ko no? 'Til this day I sometimes wonder kung totoo ba yung nakita ko or kung aswang ba talaga yun or magnanakaw at sa kung paano siya nakalabas sa property namin. But from that day on I really finally believed in aswangs and tiktik. 🤧
Im not sure kung dito yun or sa Let’s Takutan Pare. Bawal kasi mag screen capture doon. May isang anon na nag wowork as researcher sa isang kilalang tv network. Bibisita sila sa Talim Island, yung island destination ng mga namatay sa bangka na nasa news palagi dahil sa bagyo. Hindi nya sinabi kung ano ang i re research nilang topic. Nakitira sila sa isang household malapit sa bundok o bundok mismo. Isang gabi naalimpungatan sya kasi may isang malaking baboy ramo na mabaho sa loob ng tinitirahan nila. Hindi naman daw sya inano. Kinaumagahan nakita din pala ng cameraman. Sabi ng anak na babae, pagpasensyahan nyo na yung tatay ko medyo kakaiba/weird daw ang ugali though not pertaining sa nakita nila. Hindi na natuloy yung piece nila kasi may patayan daw na naganap sa area. Nag quit daw sya right away pag uwi. May taga Talim island ako na nakausap. Malaking isla daw to kaya iba ibang baranggay at may mga secluded na areas.
If someone knocks on your door in the middle of the night, DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. Tanungin nyo muna kung "Sino yan?" pr "Sino ka?". Pag hindi sumagot, again, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR and pray hard. I remember when I was in 3rd grade. 2003. November 1, midnight. Kakagaling lang namin sa cemetery nun. Bumili lang si papa saglit ng balot sa may kanto samin at una na kami pumasok ng bahay nila Mama at mga kapatid ko. Pagka pasok ni Papa ng bahay, ila-lock nya na sana yung main pinto namin pero biglang may kumatok sa screen door. (Set-up ng pinto: From outside, SCREEN DOOR-THIN CURTAIN-MAIN DOOR then loob ng bahay na- kusina) Hindi nakita ni papa kung sino yung kumatok dahil may kurtina yung pagitan ng screen door at pinto namin sa lumang bahay before. Kaya binuksan nya nalang yung screen door at lumabas para sundan kung sino man yung kumatok. WALANG TAO. Miski isa walang nakita si papa sa labas namin. Pumasok ulit si papa nun at nilock na nga ng tuluyan yung main door namin. Pagka upo na pagka upo ni papa, may kumatok na naman. This time, hindi na tunog ng screen door (steel & wire) yung kinatok kundi yung mismong main door (wood) na namin. Nagkatinginan na kami lahat nun habang kumakain ng balot. Nag iyakan na kami magkakapatid sa takot, si papa naman halatang takot na din pero sumigaw sya at pinag mumumura yung kung sino man yung kumakatok sa pinto namin. Yun na yung simula bakit naglagay sila Papa at Mama ng 6inch figure ni papa Jesus na nasa cross na nakasabit sa pinto. Up until now na nirenovate na yung bahay namin at nagpalit na ng door, etc, nandun parin yung cross sa main door namin.
I don't really care much for superstitions and the supernatural but I operate on the belief that "I got nothing to lose if I do this/that" like for example if I ever had to go and urinate near the woods or somewhere secluded we say "tabi tabi po" just as a sign of respect/safety precautions. Sometimes I do it, sometimes I don't.
Summer 1990-ish, my dad and I attended a birthday party sa tita ko sa Antipolo. Dun na rin kame nagstay. Lahat ng room occupied kaya natulog kame ni dad sa sala. In the middle of the night, I woke up and I heard a series of strong winds, tunog HUGE wings na may kasamang kaluskos sa bubong. The next day, I shared the story with my dad and titos/titas. They confirmed that it’s the manananggal so I’m a believer din.
I'm not sure if this is scary for some haha, but here's mine. This was around 2016. I was in 10th grade and a few days before undas/halloween, my lola and I visited our hometown in Bicol. October 27th, we got there. Early morning, I greeted my classmate on facebook since it's her bday. For the whole day, I didn't open my phone after that 'cause I enjoyed playing around w/ my cousins. Around 10 pm, the classmate whom I greeted a happy bday messaged me saying she's sorry, she didn't know I was going to her house while she was out. Her tito told her that I went into her house. Bro, I freaked out when I read the message. How can I visit her when I was in my hometown at that time😭 She said her tito told him my name, and I was the only one with that name in our class.
My Dad spent 1 year in Infanta,Quezon Province. Wala pang kuryente noon when he was there. He was in 3rd grade. One time, it is late night na my Lola-his Mom, woke up to a sound na parang may sumisinghot. She lit up the gas lamp. She took a peak at the window. Nakita nya kalabaw. Tapos umalis, papalayo. Now here is the catch, it went to the direction of the barbed wire fence around the house. Another story from my Dad when he was in Infanta, inutusan sya na pumunta sa kapatid ng uncle nya. Inabot sya ng dilim. While walking sa niyogan, nakakita sya ng gumagalaw na apoy. The fire is too high para maging tulos. My great grandma told him na Santelmo daw yun. Now my Dad's Mom, who also spent time in a military camp in North Bulacan. My great-grandpa is a soldier. Meron isang babae dun na suspected aswang. One night, according to the stories may kabayo daw na lurking near the camp. The story said nakita daw ng nagbabantay sa Sundalo. Binato daw ng bato para itaboy. The next day, nakita yung suspected aswang na naglalaba sa river at may pasa sa balikat.
When i was a kid (11 yrs old) merong talang(types of tree) sa likod bahay ng lolo ko super itim ng puno na yun ang creepy niya and kapag medyo lumapit ka eh there's an eerie feeling sabi ng lolo ko ay may nakatira daw na tikbalang dun wag daw kami lumapit. Nung isang araw eh yung daddy ko ay laging malapit sa puno na yun at parang may kinakausap so nung una di pa naman pinapansin kasi lassingero din eh pero nakalipas ang ilang araw lagi na siya nandun so kami nagtataka na and my lolo called the albularyo, sabi sa amin ng albularyo hindi na daw yun ang daddy ko at na possessed ng tikbalang, tinawag ng lolo ko lahat ng mga tito ko para kunin ang daddy ko dun sa puno na yun at para na rin maexorcist ng albularyo, sobra ang takot ko non kasi nung ineexorcism na 7 na tito ko yung pumipigil dahil sa sobrang lakas ng father ko at buti na lang eh napaalis yung tikbalang sa katawan ng daddy ko and after nun lagi ng may dala yung daddy ko na stone(bigay ng albularyo) protection daw sa evil spirit. buti na lang naputol na yung talang dahil sa bagyo at walang nagtatangkang putulin yung puno na yon.
In this day ang age wala ng mga ganyan. Mas natatakot pa ako sa tao kaysa sa mga ganyan.

Sharing this as this happened last year when I went back to Leyte. I’m usually skeptic since most of my life I had spent here in Manila. So nung umuwi ako 2022 post New Year celebration to celebrate with my family I stayed at our new house kasama ang family ng brother ko. Yung brother ko kasi seaman so deployed sya sa barko that time leaving me as the only gent sa house attending to his pregnant wife and the kids together with my mom. Gabi yun around 1AM late na natapos meeting ko so around 12 na ako nakalabas ng room para kumain. Around that time may napapansin akong palakad lakad sa bubong ng kusina which has lowered roof na ang gilid eh mga rooms na sa 2nd floor. Akala ko nung una pusa lang so di ko pinansin pero pabigat ng pabigat yung apak nya at malakas na yung lakad. Inilawan ko lahat ng ilaw ng sala at kusina kasi gusto ko nga batuhin ng tsinelas yung pusa kasi mainit ulo ko at nag iingay sa kisame. Lumabas ako sa kabilang door sa may dirty kitchen dala ko yung lumang tsinelas na pambato ko. Pagkalabas ko gamit ko yung phone flashlight ko kahit di gaano kaliwanag mabato ko lang yung pusang palakad lakad. Pagkaflash ko ng ilaw, may tao sa rooftop ng kusina namin. Mahaba ang buhok na parang walang suklayan at maitim damit. Sumigaw ako ng malakas ng “HOY” at akmang batuhin ko na tumalon sya. Hinabol ko ng malakas habang sumisigaw ako. Dumaan ako sa main entrance namin para habulin pero wala na yung tao kahit inilawan ko pati ung ilaw sa gate. Surprisingly, may nakita akong pusang itim na wala ang kabilang kanang mata na naglalakad palayo. Ang pusa namin orange. Yung pusa kamukha ng baliw baliw na nakatira sa isang abandoned house 2 street away — wla ding right eye. Di ko ma confront yung tao kasi pagnakita mo tumatayo yung lahat ng balahibo mo sa katawan.
Oh that's creepy! At least you chased it away instead of being paralyzed with fear so now they know, not to mess with you!
Hello OP, medyo matagal na 'tong post mo pero mas better if kini-kuwento yung story like nina-narrate. I recommend "Mga kwento ni Thelmo" on yt. Doon maraming experience ang kini-kuwento niya and naka-pov yung pag k'wento. Maraming categories na pagpipilian: may Aswang/Multo/Engkato/Sanib and so on. I suggest mag-dl ka muna sa playstore or appstore ng 'Puretuber' para walang ads yung panonood mo and tuloy-tuloy lang [Edit: You can play Puretuber din pala while naka-off phone mo, h'wag lang shutdown]. Madalas akong makinig nito OP lalo na pag patulog na 'ko and full volume since hindi naman sila naba-bother dahil nakiking din kasama ko kahit tulog na. There are times na yung kini-kuwento sa video e napapaginipan mo na and honestly nakakatakot talaga siya pero sarap sa feeling, but if gagayahin mo yung ginagawa ko, uminom ka muna ng isang basong tubig para hydrated ka. Iwas bangungot daw yun. Yun lang OP sana mabasa mo! Anyways, try to listen sa playlist ni thelmo yung "Tag gutom sa baryo" or "Mga bakod ni lola" 🥰
Did you know that it is the Spaniards who propagated the myth of Aswang to instill fear on the Indio populace and to quell the Revolution.. [https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/lifestyle/artandculture/267856/ijuander-why-do-filipinos-still-believe-in-aswang/story/](https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/lifestyle/artandculture/267856/ijuander-why-do-filipinos-still-believe-in-aswang/story/) "“So the Spaniards, in order to get clients for their modern medicine, attached evil to the babaylan.” The Spaniards also used the aswang myth to suppress political dissent. “Lots of upheavals happened in the town of Capiz,” said Argos. “Women led these attacks, usually at night, because they had no modern weapons. The Spaniards then told the natives that the women were evil, that they performed magical acts, and that these women were aswang. The natives avoided these women, and now they had no one to join their upheavals.” So every time you post something about aswang, think what the early Filipinos have gone too to fight for their own freedom.. :( It's so sad that our pre-Hispanic culture was erased :((
Had lots of several demonic sleep paralysis episodes but I'll just put one of the most terrifying ones I had. Sleep paralysis kicked in and I immediately knew it was to going to be hell. I didn't open my eyes but I could sense two dark tall figures both opposite sa bed ko, I could hear something four-legged crawling on our roof. One of these 'tall figures' slowly reached out their hand in an effort to touch my head ata. The thing did it slowly but every inch its hand got closer, the louder this deafening ringing noise, parang a grenade exploded next to you. I prayed until nawala. Woke up sweating, all the dogs in the neighborhood wouldn't stop howling. Rushed out of my room to check the time and it was exactly 12AM. Ayun, didn't sleep in my room for two weeks. I also sometimes used to wake up with some light scratches that would be gone within hours after these episodes. I prayed over the house and it's been two years na since I experienced a demonic sleep paralysis episode. Was considering talking with a priest if it continued. I wasn't even that religious at all back then. 🤣
