Stories Philippines Podcast is the original, the first, and the longest-running Filipino horror podcast—an enduring journey into the darkest corners of the Philippine archipelago. Since 2005, the podcast has explored the stories that linger in old houses, remote provinces, forgotten roads, crowded cities, and places where history refuses to stay buried. From terrifying encounters with ghosts, aswang, engkanto, kapre, manananggal, and other creatures of Filipino folklore to chilling listener experiences, urban legends, unexplained disappearances, haunted locations, and disturbing mysteries, every episode invites you to step closer to the unknown. These are not simply stories about monsters hiding in the dark. They are stories about belief, memory, grief, fear, and the ancient traditions that continue to shape how Filipinos understand the supernatural. Some tales have been passed down through generations. Others come from ordinary people who experienced something they still cannot explain. Stories Philippines Podcast brings together Filipino folklore, true paranormal encounters, regional legends, historical mysteries, and original horror storytelling in one immersive experience. Each episode takes listeners beyond the familiar, into a world where the line between superstition and reality is often dangerously thin. For more than two decades, the podcast has remained a home for those who believe that every province has a secret, every family has a story, and every dark road may lead somewhere it should not.Turn off the lights. Put on your headphones. And listen carefully. Because in the Philippines, the past is never truly silent—and some stories are still waiting to be heard.

Inside, they discover gold bars stacked against the walls. When they return the next day, the cave entrance is gone, replaced by solid rock. The mountain has sealed itself. **The Sealed Chamber** A construction crew in Baguio breaks through a wall in an old Japanese officers' quarters and finds a sealed room from WWII. Inside are documents, maps, and a locked safe. When they open the safe, every light in the building goes out and a voice speaks one word in Japanese: "Leave." **The Family Curse** A family in Cebu has been searching for Yamashita's gold for three generations. The grandfather died at a cliff with a golden coin in his hand. The father died of a heart attack after entering a cave. The grandson hears knocking under his floor every night at three in the morning. The treasure wants him whether he likes it or not. **The Golden Well** An old woman in Laguna discovers her dry well has filled with water overnight, and at the bottom, hundreds of gold coins glitter in the flashlight beam. When her nephew tries to climb down, the water rises to the brim. Something grabs his ankle from below. The well is sealed with concrete, but on full moon nights, you can still hear coins clinking. **The Golden Horse** A rice farmer in Ifugao finds a metal box in his field containing a golden horse figurine, a map, and a Japanese note. The horse turns on its own every night, pointing toward a mountain ridge. The farmer refuses to follow it, but the box keeps returning to his doorstep no matter how many times he buries it. ## Hosts - Angel — Co-host, shares personal family stories and cultural perspective - Paul — Co-host, provides research and historical context ## Topics - Yamashita's gold — legendary WWII Japanese war loot - Cordillera mountains — northern Luzon highlands - Baguio City — Japanese occupation history - Cebu — treasure hunting and family curses - Laguna — haunted wells and supernatural gold - Ifugao — rice terraces and spiritual connections - Japanese occupation — WWII history in the Philippines - Filipino folklore — spirits, guardians, and cursed treasure ## Disclaimer This episode is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
