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.
