EPISODE 215: The Night Lola Died Preparing

When Lola Mercy's family found her lifeless body slumped in her rocking chair during their Christmas Eve gathering, her eyes were frozen open, staring at something invisible in the darkness. Twenty years later, the Reyes family still can't forget that horrifying night when their beloved grandmother died alone while they prepared the very feast she had spent all day cooking for eighteen family members. This Christmas season, Stories Philippines takes you to a small barangay in Laguna where holiday traditions blend with ancient Filipino beliefs, and where some families discover that the most terrifying moments can happen during the most sacred celebrations. A chilling tale of family, loss, and the shadows that lurk beneath our most cherished traditions.DISCLAIMER 📢This episode might be ad-supported.
