Philippines Folklore Creatures Novels & Stories

The moon shines fully, illuminating the darkness outside and providing a glint of light to Svetlana’s eyes as she stared up at it while she sat on a bench with Ahrio next to her. “There’s a legend in Southeast Asian countries that whenever it’s the full moon, ghosts, monsters and other scary supernatural beings appear and roam the world of the living. Do you know that?” Svetlana shared one of those horror stories she had heard from her childhood. Smiling, she glanced at Ahrio and caught him just staring at her face like he’s engrossed about everything about her. “Really? Do those supernatural beings include goddesses? Coz I’m definitely seeing one right now.”

"Wow, i didn't know there were so many supernatural creatures" "There are more but i don't think they're all here". "Why are those places dark?", she asks. "Creatures that shouldn't be seen are there, especially those that kill with a glance". "Like the basilisk?". "Yes and also the gorgons, qalupalik, manticore, grootslang and so on". Someone walks up to the one of the judges and whispers something, then the judge walks up to the chairperson and whispers something in his ear.

The second his eyes landed on that video, he felt it, that burning sensation as it rippled through his veins, causing his blood to pump faster and his heart termored. When he was six he had thought his great grandmother mad when she would often tell these tales of Merfolks, dragons, fairies, elves, whispering ghosts, who lived in a beautiful city under the sea and how they were real… she said the whispering ghosts often lure men and women under the sea…. trap then suck their souls, they would sink ships and flood trespassing islands.

Because of my constant cravings for the first two months, Jon and Jana decided to sleep in my house at night just to make sure that I am safe. Even Tata and Nana told me that it is much better if I'll have someone with me inside the house. They said that a pregnant woman alone in a house is way too dangerous, most especially if the aswang can smell my and my baby. Aswang. That's what they call here. It's a mythical creature in the Philippine that turns their body into half every 12:00 in the evenings, and most of their targets are pregnant women. It creeped me out, and I was so paranoid with my baby's safety too so I agreed to if. They're right. It would be more safe if I had someone with me

Aslan, despite his age at the time, was still reeling in young women eager for some kind of “experience.” But she had to admit, the mention of the manananggal earlier had sent chills down her spine. It reminded her of an old story she’d heard as a child. During gatherings and celebrations in the hacienda, the staff would tell tales about a woman who lived near the river, close to the waterfall. Supposedly, her body would split in half, sprouting wings, and she would hunt at night. It’s ridiculous. In her world of science and medicine, stories like that didn’t hold any weight. Still, it didn’t hurt to believe just a little—at least enough to make sure she didn’t end up as prey to some mananan

"What the fck is a shokoy?" I grinned. "A green, ugly mythical creature from the Philippine mythology who lives in the ocean. It has scales and fins." His face showed disgust. "Like a fcking fish?" I slowly nodded. "Like a fcking fish." "How dare you compare me to a shokoy, Lucresia?" I gaped at him and shook my head. "I'm not comparing you to them, Damien. I'm saying I'd rather be with them than be with you."

But at this time, the old man looked at Samuel and nodded with a smile, which showed that he agreed with Samuel's words. The two were shocked and exclaimed, "Is this really a fish egg?" The old man nodded. Xia Wei and the pangolin immediately looked at Samuel strangely. They really didn't understand how Samuel connected these things to Fish Egg. Samuel smiled. Obviously, it was a guess, but it was also a kind of speculation with basis. The old man had said that there were only two kinds of creatures in the land of Extreme Snow. One was the blood worm, and the other was the Moonlight Ghost Fish. The extra thing was very suspicious.

While snacking on her lunch, Maria paid attention to the words her grandfather was saying. "Phantom beats are sinister and vile creatures that feed on human flesh and fears. They are extremely dangerous and are twice as hard to take down compared to regular magical beasts. Luckily, you'll never have to encounter such creatures, since beast-types outnumber phantom-type creatures. But if you ever encounter one... run." The heavy, intense gaze of her grandfather caused a cold chill to sweep over Maria's body.

Although she hired him and admitted at the onset that she has forgiven him for what happened to their relationship, the pain remains embedded deep down in her heart. Unknown to Sarah, her ex-boyfriend is suspecting her to be the manananggal who has been terrorizing the streets of Makati and the killer of his parents. During the times he is in the United States, he hired a team of researchers who are experts in the field of mythical creatures. He instructed them to focus on learning about the way a manananggal hunts its prey and how it masquerades itself as an innocent member of society. And cross-reference this with the evidence he gathered while in the Philippines on the lifestyle of Sarah.

The trees and rivers, the mountains and the skies agreed with everything. Before it became a Christian country, at a time before a Christian traveler searching for spices spiked a Cross on one of its beautiful islands and claimed it on Christian faith, the natives had a powerful claim on magic. The Philippines was an island of gods where humans were allowed to live among them. Rudolf knew this from the Sirens and with the Great Silence, or the Great Tribulation, humans navigated the lands and found the island, then started anew. Gods wanted their privacy; but as humans started to grow, their presence was known and was so hard to conceal.
