Stories Philippines Podcast is the original, the first, and the longest-running Filipino horror podcast. Since 2005, the show has explored the terrifying stories that linger inside old houses, remote provinces, forgotten roads, crowded cities, and the darkest corners of the Philippine archipelago. Hosted by Paul, Angel, Hendrick, and Zach, each regular episode brings together four to five carefully curated Filipino horror stories filled with ghostly encounters, local mysteries, supernatural folklore, urban legends, and experiences that remain difficult to explain. True Encounters episodes go even deeper, featuring fifteen allegedly true horror stories submitted by listeners. These are personal accounts of apparitions, haunted homes, aswang sightings, mysterious voices, unsettling dreams, unexplained creatures, and moments when the ordinary world suddenly became something else. From balete trees and abandoned hospitals to ancestral houses, haunted schools, provincial highways, and places known only through whispered warnings, Stories Philippines Podcast preserves the fears, beliefs, and supernatural traditions carried across generations. Some stories are rooted in Philippine folklore. Others are personal recollections, community legends, dramatizations, or allegedly true accounts that may not be independently verified. Every episode is told with respect for the people and communities behind the stories. New episodes weekly. Follow Stories Philippines Podcast for Pinoy horror stories, Filipino ghost encounters, aswang folklore, true paranormal experiences, haunted places, urban legends, and mysteries from across the Philippines.

    Siquijor: Island of Witches

    Four visitors went to Siquijor and each left something behind. Paul, Angel, Zach, and Hendrick piece together what the island's healers give — and what they take. Stories covered: a Manila visitor and the mananambal's price, a historian and the batibot under the floor, a detective and the mangkukulam's confession, and a healing that worked. Plus listener comments and next week's tease: The Manananggal of Capiz.

    Siquijor: Island of Witches

  2. Oct 23

    Stories the Sea Keeps to Itself

    The crew gathers for a night of salt water stories: a barangay that sank beneath the waves, candle boats that drift with no one aboard, divers who surface with the same warning, bells that ring from under the sea, and the ones the fishermen refuse to name. Between tales the hosts trade theories, read listener reviews, and tease next week's trip to Siquijor. Stories covered: the night Bonbon sank, the cross and the candle boats, what the divers report, the bells beneath the sea, the ones the fishermen do not name, the kwintas of Aling Dolores, and lights on the water. Plus listener reviews, shoutouts, and a tease for next week: Siquijor, the Island of Witches.

    Places That Will Not Stay Quiet

    We went quiet. We are back. Paul, Angel, Zach, and Hendrick return with five places that refused to stay quiet: a train station that still runs its ghost timetable, a sugar mill office with a drinker who never left, a hospital that remodels its own hallways, a convent room that keeps watch over the dead, and a lighthouse shadow that learns its keeper. Plus: the apology you deserved, your reviews answered on the show, and next Friday's Undas special in Camiguin. Leave a review on Apple or Spotify — we answer them on the show.

    Creatures of the Mountain and the Water

    Three creatures. Three territories. One rule: show respect, or belong to them forever. Paul, Angel, and Zach explore the terrifying world of Filipino folklore — from the backward-legged tikbalang that stalks Mt. Makiling, to the pale water spirit that waits beneath the Enchanted River, to the ancient nuno sa punso that claims a family's land in Pampanga. Each story is a warning: the Philippines is older than you think, and the things that live there have been watching longer than you know.

    The Mandurugo of Iloilo

    A nurse in Iloilo watches three patients check into her hospital with the same impossible symptom: blood vanishing from their bodies with no wound, no bleeding, no explanation. A park ranger on Mt. Arayat follows a floating orange light into the forest and watches it scorch a perfect circle into the earth. A tour guide on Corregidor Island walks into a formation of invisible soldiers and loses three degrees of body temperature in seconds. And a father in Davao watches a creature that looks like his daughter's age sit outside his window, crying with a mouth full of teeth that no baby should have. These are five creatures from Filipino folklore. Some seduce. Some burn. Some wait. All of them remember your face.

    Do Not Answer

    Four warnings. Four voices. One rule the whole night obeys. A wildlife ranger in Apayao watches a three-note call walk out of the treeline and circle his tent. A marine biologist off Itbayat hears singing through the hull while something pale circles the anchor chain. A Nueva Vizcaya farmer finds perfect rings pressed into his rice every morning the voice calls his name. A Samar engineer feels a door handle turning from the other side at midnight — and lets go. Stories covered: the kuwago of Apayao, the tigmamanruka of the sea cave, the sitsit of the rice fields, and the kumakatok of the old house.

    Under the Balete

    Four stories, one tree. The hosts gather around the balete — the strangler fig that eats another tree to become itself — with a Grab driver's White Lady on Balete Drive, a forestry student's inheritance in the Davao forest, a night-shift keeper's protocol at a tollway rest stop, and a surveyor's map that would not hold still in Batangas.
