Manananggal

from Lunatic Soup · host Megan Miller and Reyna Edmonds

This week we talk about the legend of the Manananggal, one of the most fearsome creatures in Filipino folklore. By day, she appears human, but by night, she splits her body in two, leaving her lower half behind as her upper torso takes to the skies, searching for unsuspecting victims.  Keep your garlic and salt close—because once the Manananggal takes flight, there’s no telling where she’ll strike next.
