The Aswang is one of the most feared creatures in all Filipino folklore, combining the most terrifying elements of vampires, shape shifters, and witches in one horrifying monster. In this episode we’ll discuss the origins of this legend, how it uses deception to trick its prey, and how the Spanish and the CIA used this legend against the Filipinos to further their own agendas. Grab your garlic and albularyos oil, and take a listen to this terrifying story!
