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.

The sky darkens, fields vanish beneath wings, and the air tastes of hunger and fear. When illness spreads close behind, whispers rise: Is this natural? A sign? Or something else? In this episode, we explore the terrifying intersection of nature’s fury and human vulnerability—locust swarms devouring crops, outbreaks of disease spreading in their wake, and the deep-rooted stories and fears that arise when disaster strikes. From ancient scriptures to modern outbreaks, from the deserts far away to the islands of the Philippines, we unravel how hunger, sickness, and fear intertwine into a powerful narrative that shapes how people understand crisis. This is a story about survival, memory, and the ways we make sense of the unseen forces that disrupt our lives. It’s about the real impacts behind headlines and the symbols that echo through history and folklore. Trigger warning: This episode contains descriptions of mass illness, famine, death, and religious fear. Listener discretion is advised.
