Filipino residents speak about the supernatural occurrences in The Philippines. (Subtitled)
Balete Drive is a very famous street in Manila known to be haunted by a white lady... (that is a lady in white, not a Caucasian lady) who is known to terrorize cab drivers. Allegedly sometime in the 1950s a woman was picked up by a cab along Balete Drive and then raped and murdered by the driver. So we visited Balete Drive at midnight during a full moon. And two people comment on their encounters with the aswang, a sort of ghoul/vampire creature known for its taste for human flesh, particularly unborn babies.
Toward the end of the film a hissing sound is caught on tape. It is a sound heard when there is supposed to be an aswang near. During filming neither I nor anyone else heard the hissing sound. It would be later that night when I was reviewing the tape that I heard it (and shrugged it off as just noise) and a couple days later before the connection was made to the aswang hissing sound.Filipino residents speak about the supernatural occurrences in The Philippines.... more
