My apologies if this is inappropriate but I thought a little kalokohan might lighten the mood during these unstable times.

When we were younger, my cousins and I used to exchange stories about aswang, kapre and my favorite – the mangkukulam.

Do you have a favorite story you would like to share?

    Spectacle” (char lang)
    Some months ago my mother was on a work trip so I had the house to myself. One night I watched some yt videos on TV using SmartTube. Usually I would put my glasses on the chair of the sofa. The next day I was looking for my glasses but couldn’t find them anywhere, and normally my vision is functional, but from where I sat in class I couldn’t see the blackboard well. And that morning I had classes. Eventually after a while I gave up and thought I’d just find them eventually, so I started cooking my breakfast.

    I would like to clarify that the distance between the table and my kitchen is just less than two meters. And I looked for my glasses on the table already. Okay so, I had two parts of my breakfast. Once I put my first part on the table I then turned around to cook an egg (the second part). I took the egg from the wok and when I turned to put it on the first part of my breakfast I suddenly saw my glasses just in front of the plate of my first part of the meal. It was a literal jumpscare. Idk how that was possible unless it somehow fell from the ceiling!

    Running Shadow
    This one happened years ago when I was young. I invited my friend over to draw stuff together. Before that I saw a running shadow outside of my bedroom from my window. Now I remember that it didn’t disappear in just a blink, I had the chance to see it clearly. Some point later, my friend arrived, I never told her about the shadow. At some point my friend looked at the side of my house and she said she saw a running shadow that made no sound. I asked her about its height (relative to the window) and it matched what I saw.
