Can you recommend some good horror filipino stories?

Well, 'The Diwata' in Filipino short horror stories can be quite terrifying. These nature spirits, when angered, can cause all sorts of spooky happenings. In some stories, people who enter the forest without permission are haunted by the Diwata. There are also stories about haunted wells. People who get too close to the well at night might see strange apparitions or hear unearthly screams coming from it.

One of the well - known Filipino horror stories is 'The White Lady'. It is often said that she haunts certain roads and bridges. Legend has it that she was a victim of a tragic love or a violent death. Another great one is 'Kulam' stories which involve witchcraft and dark magic practiced in Filipino villages long ago.

Since adult stories may involve inappropriate content, I can recommend some popular Filipino folktales instead. For example, 'The Monkey and the Turtle' which is a well - known story that teaches lessons about cleverness and fairness.

Another great one is 'Trese' by Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo. It's a graphic horror novel that features a female detective who deals with supernatural crimes in Manila. It's filled with unique Filipino mythological creatures and dark, spooky stories.

There's a story of a haunted ancestral house. In this story, a family moved into an old, large house in the Philippines. Every night, they would hear strange noises coming from the attic. One of the children was brave enough to go up there. He found an old doll with a cracked face. When he touched it, he felt a cold chill and heard a whispering voice. The family soon left the house in fear.

One horror story could be about in - laws interfering too much. In some Filipino marriages, the in - laws might be overly controlling. For example, they could constantly tell the couple how to raise their children or manage their finances, causing a great deal of stress and strain on the marriage.

One Filipino celebrity horror story involves a popular actress who claimed to see a strange apparition in her old, ancestral home. She said she saw a figure in white that would roam the hallways at night. It was so terrifying that she refused to stay there alone ever again.

The 'Aswang' is a very well - known Filipino horror concept. It's a shapeshifting creature that can transform into different forms, like a dog or a pig. At night, it is said to prey on pregnant women and their unborn children. There are many tales about the Aswang in different regions of the Philippines, and these stories have been passed down through generations, often used to scare children into behaving well. Also, the 'Mangkukulam' or the witch is feared. They are believed to be able to cast curses on people using dark magic.

There is also the story of the 'Mangkukulam'. These are witches or sorcerers in Filipino folklore. They are believed to have the power to cast spells and curses. A Mangkukulam can bring misfortune to people they dislike, such as causing illness or bad luck in business. People are often very cautious not to anger someone they suspect of being a Mangkukulam.

There's also 'The Legend of Maria Makiling'. This story is set around a beautiful and powerful diwata (goddess or fairy - like being) named Maria Makiling. She lives in the mountains and has interactions with local villagers. It shows Filipino beliefs and culture through a fantasy lens. The story is rich in descriptions of the enchanted forest and Maria's magical powers.
