It begins in the dead of night. An old fisherwoman walks along a rocky riverbank, her lantern flickering in the humid air. She cherishes the sounds of the tide until she notices something strange—the stones are moving. As she investigates, she encounters a floating head, its entrails writhing like vipers, drawing her into the chilling world of the aswang.

Join us in this episode as we unravel the myths surrounding this haunting figure from Filipino folklore. The aswang is more than just a monster; it represents our collective fears and cultural complexities. From the terrifying manananggal to protective figures like Kris, these stories reveal a rich tapestry of legends that lurk in the shadows.

Listen closely as we share eerie encounters from Zamboanga del Norte to Batangas, exploring how these creatures reflect the vulnerabilities and anxieties of our communities.

As you immerse yourself in these tales, ponder this: What is it about darkness that captivates us?
