Filipino Ghost Stories

Ghost stories are commonplace in traditional Filipino culture. Whether they take place at a relative's funeral or a hacienda located deep in a remote province, virtually all families have their own personal accounts of their encounters with the supernatural. Passed on from generation to generation, these tales act as a bridge to the past, to a time lost or nearly forgotten. To write this book of ghostly encounters with all manner of things eerie and terrifying in the Philippines, Alex Paman collected creepy tales that have been told in his family for generations. Covering ghostly encounters in bustling cities and in remote towns, Filipino Ghost Stories offers good, old-fashioned scary stories and fascinating insights into Filipino culture
