Stories Philippines Podcast - Pinoy Horror Stories

Four warnings. Four voices. One rule the whole night obeys. A wildlife ranger in Apayao watches a three-note call walk out of the treeline and circle his tent. A marine biologist off Itbayat hears singing through the hull while something pale circles the anchor chain. A Nueva Vizcaya farmer finds perfect rings pressed into his rice every morning the voice calls his name. A Samar engineer feels a door handle turning from the other side at midnight — and lets go. Stories covered: the kuwago of Apayao, the tigmamanruka of the sea cave, the sitsit of the rice fields, and the kumakatok of the old house. Plus a listener-sent voice note played on air, letters, and shoutouts. 0:00 Stories Philippines 1:03 Cold Open 1:58 Check-In 5:04 The Kuwago of Apayao 9:51 The Verdict: The Kuwago 12:33 The Tigmamanruka of the Sea Cave in Itbayat 18:54 The Verdict: The Tigmamanruka 21:48 The Sitsit of the Rice Fields in Nueva Vizcaya 27:26 The Verdict: The Sitsit 30:31 The Kumakatok of the Old House in Marabut 36:35 The Verdict:…

The crew gathers for a night of salt water stories: a barangay that sank beneath the waves, candle boats that drift with no one aboard, divers who surface with the same warning, bells that ring from under the sea, and the ones the fishermen refuse to name. Between tales the hosts trade theories, read listener reviews, and tease next week's trip to Siquijor. Stories covered: the night Bonbon sank, the cross and the candle boats, what the divers report, the bells beneath the sea, the ones the fishermen do not name, the kwintas of Aling Dolores, and lights on the water. Plus listener reviews, shoutouts, and a tease for next week: Siquijor, the Island of Witches.

Four households. Four small tenants. One rule nobody told the newcomers. A Pampanga farmer inherits land with a mound on it and skips the offerings his father never skipped. A Marikina plumber opens a water tank sealed for decades and finds it packed floor to hatch with tiny hand-aligned shoes — and something child-sized crouched underneath, wearing a pair. An Ilocos archivist realizes the thing curating her heritage shelves accepts payment in paper scraps and ink drops. A Guimaras mango grower learns the tall horned shadow in his oldest grove takes its rent in rice, cigarettes, and tuba. Stories covered: the nuno of the old farmhouse, the duwende of the water tank, the lambana of the library, and the lampong of Guimaras.

Four stories, one tree. The hosts gather around the balete — the strangler fig that eats another tree to become itself — with a Grab driver's White Lady on Balete Drive, a forestry student's inheritance in the Davao forest, a night-shift keeper's protocol at a tollway rest stop, and a surveyor's map that would not hold still in Batangas.

We went quiet. We are back. Paul, Angel, Zach, and Hendrick return with five places that refused to stay quiet: a train station that still runs its ghost timetable, a sugar mill office with a drinker who never left, a hospital that remodels its own hallways, a convent room that keeps watch over the dead, and a lighthouse shadow that learns its keeper.

Three creatures. Three territories. One rule: show respect, or belong to them forever. Paul, Angel, and Zach explore the terrifying world of Filipino folklore — from the backward-legged tikbalang that stalks Mt. Makiling, to the pale water spirit that waits beneath the Enchanted River, to the ancient nuno sa punso that claims a family's land in Pampanga. Each story is a warning: the Philippines is older than you think, and the things that live there have been watching longer than you know.

A nurse in Iloilo watches three patients check into her hospital with the same impossible symptom: blood vanishing from their bodies with no wound, no bleeding, no explanation. A park ranger on Mt. Arayat follows a floating orange light into the forest and watches it scorch a perfect circle into the earth. A tour guide on Corregidor Island walks into a formation of invisible soldiers and loses three degrees of body temperature in seconds. And a father in Davao watches a creature that looks like his daughter's age sit outside his window, crying with a mouth full of teeth that no baby should have. These are five creatures from Filipino folklore. Some seduce. Some burn. Some wait. All of them remember your face.

Beneath the oldest Spanish fort in the Philippines, there are tunnels that no tourist has ever seen. An archaeologist maps them. She finds cells with iron rings. She finds scratches on stone: God, Forgiveness, Death. And behind a sealed door, a voice still praying after three hundred years. In this episode, Paul, Angel and Zach explore four of the most haunted historical structures in the Philippines -- from the subterranean dungeons of Fort San Pedro in Cebu to a heritage house on the oldest street in the country, from a shadowy convent in Intramuros to a lighthouse in Ilocos Norte where a dark shape follows you the more alone you become. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CHAPTERS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 00:00 -- Opening and Welcome 02:30 -- Story 1: The Ghost of Fort San Pedro in Cebu 18:00 -- Discussion: The archaeologist and the sealed door 20:00 -- Story 2: The Tambaloslos of a Cebu Heritage House 36:00 -- Discussion: The house that changes at night 38:00 -- Mid-roll: Subscribe and share 39:00 --…

Fifteen listeners. Fifteen voices. Fifteen encounters with something that should not have been able to speak. In this special True Encounters episode, Paul, Angel, and Zach share real stories from listeners across the Philippines who heard voices they cannot explain. From phone calls at three in the morning to singing rising from the ocean floor, from voices counting inside hospital walls to a father speaking through a police radio -- these are not legends.

In the old quarter of Marawi City, a family of woodcarvers has kept a secret for five generations. Their most famous creation, a sarimanok carved from a single piece of narra wood, is said to be alive. Its obsidian eyes move. Its feathers shift. At night, it sings. But this is only the first of four stories tonight. We travel to Zamboanga, where a forensic pathologist examines a body that refuses to stay dead. To Mount Arayat in Pampanga, where a fire elemental drifts above the balete canopy. And to the Magat River in Isabela, where something ancient waits in the murky water. Stories from four corners of the Philippines. Creatures that have lived in the shadows of these islands for centuries. Some are beautiful. Some are terrifying. All of them are real to the people who share them. This episode was created with AI assistance.

Five places across the Philippines that refuse to let go. An abandoned hospital that rearranges its hallways. A Spanish bridge that replays the sound of prisoner carts every night.

What lives in the deepest waters around the Philippines? A marine biologist dives to fifty meters off the coast of Palawan and sees something on the underwater wall that has no scientific name. A freediving instructor on Apo Island encounters a pale figure that mirrors her every movement and beckons her into the dark. A fish researcher on the Magat River hears a scream like a woman drowning and sees a green-skinned shape at the water's edge. And a second engineer on a cargo ship in the Sibuyan Sea hears scratching in the ceiling at two in the morning, and two of his crewmates are never seen again.

What happens when a place refuses to forget? A corrections officer walks into the ruins of the Old Bilibid Prison expecting concrete and steel. He finds something else entirely.

Something was breathing inside a sealed shipping container at Subic Bay Freeport Zone. A logistics worker cut the bolt seal on container MCNU-7741 one Friday night and found an organic membrane covering every surface. In the center, a human-shaped figure wrapped in tissue. Alive. Aware. Breathing. What followed was a cover-up by the shipping line, a Korean leasing company that vanished, and three more containers that appeared and disappeared from the same yard. The worker who opened the container was left with permanent damage to his hand and a connection to something that may still be growing beneath the concrete. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CHAPTERS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 00:00 — Opening: Paul, Angel and Zach welcome listeners 01:00 — The Subic Bay Freeport and its dark history 08:00 — Container MCNU-7741: The sealed mystery 15:00 — Row 17: The cold, damp section nobody talks about 22:00 — Friday night: Cutting the seal 30:00 — Inside the container: The membrane and the figure 38:00 — The…

Five listeners. Five encounters. Zero explanations. A shipping container in Subic Bay weighs fourteen thousand kilograms despite being empty. A white lady steps off a two-hundred-meter cliff on Kennon Road and vanishes. A marine biologist discovers a thirty-meter creature covered in mirrors deep beneath Palawan. A woman's voice pleads for help from a locked room in the Diplomat Hotel. And a corrections officer hears a lullaby sung to empty cells every full moon for twelve years. True Encounters Vol. 31 collects five of the most unsettling listener submissions we have ever received. These are real people sharing real experiences that they cannot explain. From the logistics yards of Subic to the deep waters of Palawan, from the winding curves of Kennon Road to the decaying halls of the Diplomat Hotel and the echoing corridors of the Old Bilibid Prison, these stories prove that the Philippines is a country where the boundary between the living and the dead is thinner than we believe.

A single wall in a brand-new Loyola Heights garage. A faint tap, every night at the same hour. A young woman named metroManila had just moved into her dream house, only to discover the developer had sealed someone inside the concrete of her own garage wall. Tonight on Stories Philippines Podcast, we crack open five true accounts of tombs that should have stayed sealed, cement that was never meant to dry, and the dead who refuse to stay where you put them. This is Episode One Hundred and One: The Concrete Tomb. Lock every door in your house before you press play.
