EPISODE 4: The Scratches on the Mother’s Womb

In this chilling episode, we explore the haunting Filipino folklore of the Aswang, a shape-shifting creature that embodies the deep-seated fears surrounding childbirth and familial ties. Through the harrowing tale of Clarissa, a pregnant woman confronted by the ominous sounds outside her home, listeners are drawn into a rich narrative that unveils the Aswang's terrifying forms, like the Manananggal and the Tik Tik, which have haunted generations. The episode not only examines these eerie legends but delves into their historical roots, revealing how colonialism shaped these fears, turning powerful indigenous figures into monstrous realities. Join us as we unravel the layers of horror, cultural significance, and the primal instinct to protect life against dark forces lurking in the shadows.DISCLAIMER 📢This episode might be ad-supported.
