Our narrator shares her family's unsettling move into this house, soon learning about its haunted reputation. Whispers of a white lady and eerie noises fill the air, but it is the mention of a kapre—an enormous creature said to dwell in the star apple tree—that truly unnerves her.Strange occurrences like misplaced belongings and a foul stench compel our narrator to confront the possibility that the kapre is more than just a myth. The tension builds to a spine-tingling climax when she encounters a shadowy figure resembling the kapre perched on their rooftop. Despite the haunting presence, her family remains in the house for twenty months, illustrating their complex relationship with fear and the supernatural.This tale, rich in vivid imagery and told from a child's perspective, captures the essence of Filipino folklore, making it both relatable and authentic.Don't miss our next episode featuring "The Girl in the Mirror" by Gerrilyn Cadiz.
