Episode Details

In this spine-chilling episode of "Stories Philippines Podcast," we dive into the eerie world of Filipino supernatural beliefs. From doppelgangers to haunted places, we explore listener-submitted tales that will send shivers down your spine. Hear a harrowing account of a doppelganger encounter at a school in Cavite, steeped in folklore that suggests seeing your double brings bad luck.

We also discuss similar doppelganger beliefs from around the world, including historical sightings tied to famous figures like Abraham Lincoln and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Scientific explanations, such as Capgras syndrome and heautoscopy, offer a fascinating backdrop to these unnerving experiences.

Listeners share unsettling stories, including eerie happenings in a Makati condo linked to its tragic history and the mysterious "psychic residue." We also recount a haunting in a library where peculiar tapping sounds lead to a discussion about the spiritual energy held within these spaces.

Traditional beliefs like usog—where admiration from strangers can lead to illness—are examined, alongside the rituals that counteract its effects. This episode invites you to reflect on your own encounters with the unexplained.

We want to hear your supernatural experiences! Share your stories for future episodes and help us continue exploring these captivating tales.
