Aswang
When my grandfather was approximately 27 years old, a narra tree located outside his residence in the Philippines was consistently filled with bats. In an attempt to disperse them, he ventured outside armed with a gun. After firing a shot, the bats appeared unperturbed. Undeterred, he fired another shot, yet the bats remained unaffected. However, at that moment, a distinct "kas kas" sound resonated, causing the bats to swiftly depart. My grandfather firmly believes that this sound emanated from an aswang, a creature notorious for its terror-inducing reputation in the Philippines. Similar to the bats, he promptly made his exit from the area. This account presents my personal interpretation of one of the prevalent legends associated with aswangs.

Manananggal
The manananggal is a female creature with a long, slender tongue, bat-like wings, and a preference for feasting on the internal organs of sleeping victims. It is a self-segmenting vampire monster that has intestines that dangle. The manananggal is considered one type of aswang, which is a Filipino term for a demon, ghoul, or witch. These supernatural beings have been mentioned in Spanish texts dating back to 1582, but it is likely that indigenous Philippine folklore already included stories of this creature before the arrival of the Spanish. The manananggal is a particularly unique type of aswang because it detaches its upper body from its lower torso. It flies in the night with wings resembling those of a bat, while during the day, it appears as an ordinary, beautiful woman. The manananggal possesses the ability to conceal its monstrous form and maintain normal relationships, even getting married. However, at night, its arms transform into wings, its torso separates, and it takes flight in search of human victims. The manananggal uses its long, thread-like tongue to enter the bodies of its victims through openings such as windows, roofs, ears, nose, mouth, or abdomen, feeding on disgusting substances like phlegm, as well as organs like livers, lungs, intestines, hearts, and even fetuses. Pregnant women are believed to be prime targets. To prevent the manananggal from reverting to its human form, one can sprinkle ashes, vinegar, spices, garlic, or salt onto its lower body stump, thus preventing it from becoming whole again. Therefore, the manananggal takes great care to hide its lower body while hunting, as it must rejoin its torso before daybreak to survive. Banana groves are said to be effective hiding places, possibly because the trunks resemble human legs.

Spider Mother. Content Warning.
It was a hike that we would never forget, though we wished we could. My girlfriend and I were hiking in a familiar spot, just like we had done a thousand times before. This hike was going to be different, though. We would hike three miles in and camp for the night, wake up at five am, hike up to Helens Overlook, about ten minutes from our camping spot, where we would watch the sunrise. While she watched, I would take a knee and pull out a ring I had bought weeks ago, asking her to marry me.

The Bermuda Ghost Ship
As the moon cast its radiant glow, it illuminated the obsidian expanse of the ocean's dense fog. In eerie silence, the tranquility was abruptly shattered by the creaking of aged wooden boards, followed by the undulating ripples traversing through the mist. Emerging from the fog's embrace was the silhouette of a timeworn, massive vessel—a ship whose hull bore the scars of rust, exuding an uncanny chill. Yet, what sent shivers down the spine was the utter absence of life on its deserted deck. It was a ship adrift without a crew—a ghost ship of real existence, not folklore.

From Dust, to Dust
The first touch of autumn was soft in its approach, the smell of sun burnt leaves and a coolness foreign to the dust covered man. Remembering the date, midway through the month of August, made the realization of the changing season more accepting. He affixed his hat on his mop of hair to better fight the growing wind. The dust here, same as one hundred southern miles, had been passed back and forth between the latitudes so long it no longer could call a single square mile its home.
