For #FilAmHistoryMonth and #Inktober I thought I’d learn about Philippine mythology using the #Engkantober prompts @malamaya.Noel put together a few years back! Second is the Batibat 🛌 Beware the Batibat, otherwise known as Bangungot, a literal Nightmare. A heavy spirit that lives in fallen trees that will sit on you as you sleep until you suffocate. Wiggle your toes to wake up, or you may be scared to death with a post-mortem diagnosis of Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome.

Third is a Kapre - the source of my username 🥭 This dude (affectionate) is like if bigfoot was a massive stoner, but instead of being weary of embers dropping from his towering toking each puff produces fireflies! If you find a Kapre in a Kawayan (bamboo), Mangga (mango), Akasya (acacia), or Balete (banyan) grove beware, they’ll get you lost in the grove and only let you return once you steal the tiny pearl they carry.

For #FilAmHistoryMonth and #Inktober I thought I’d learn about Philippine mythology using the #Engkantober prompts @malamaya.Noel put together a few years back! First is Santelmo 🔥

Apoy ni Santelmo, the eerie light that has captured many an imagination and led many more astray. It has many other names, this one heavily hispanicized, but the phenomena is scientifically known as Ball Lightning.
