このコンテンツについて
When dusk settles over the Philippines and the jungle hums with life, another sound stirs in the shadows—a soft flapping of wings, a whisper against the window, the omen of something hungry. This week on Beyond the Campfire, Will and Sahil confront the legend of the Aswang, the shapeshifting nightmare said to walk by day as a neighbor, and by night transform into a creature that preys on the living.
We trace the roots of the Aswang through centuries of Filipino folklore, exploring its many forms—ghoul, witch, vampire, and beast—and how it has haunted villages and storytellers alike. From the terrifying image of the manananggal severing its torso to hunt, to the quiet fear of a kindly face hiding monstrous intent, the Aswang embodies the ultimate predator: one that wears trust as its disguise.
And as we journey deeper, we uncover the wards and rituals people still cling to for protection—garlic, salt, prayers, and the company of others through the night. Is the Aswang merely a tale to keep children close to home, or does something darker still walk beneath the moon in the islands? Listen, and decide for yourself.
