In this spine-chilling episode of the Stories Philippines Podcast, we explore the haunting histories behind some of the most iconic locations in the Philippines. Discover the Manila Post Office, a silent witness to World War II's horrors, where disembodied voices and a sense of being watched hint at its eerie past.

We’ll share the poignant tale of Mang Felipe’s Iloilo rest house, a loving tribute to his wife Leda, whose spirit is said to linger in the shadows. Meet Merlin, a former mangkukulam, who navigates the complexities of power and redemption in Filipino culture.

Journey with us to the infamous Diplomat Hotel in Baguio, where the line between the living and the dead blurs amidst its chilling legacy. We will also delve into how Filipino folklore shapes our understanding of grief and trauma, revealing how ghost stories serve as a means for processing our deepest emotions.

Join us as we reflect on personal beliefs about the supernatural and the role of these narratives in shaping our community's identity and values. This episode promises to be both thought-provoking and hauntingly entertaining.
