Have you ever felt the weight of a place filled with memories, as if the very stones remember the emotions of those who came before? In tonight's episode of the True Philippine Ghost Stories Podcast, we take you to the island of Batanes, where a lighthouse holds the echoes of a tragic love story that refuses to fade. I'm Mark, your guide on this journey through time and emotion.

Join us as we explore the haunting tale from Joel P Salud's "True Philippine Ghost Stories," specifically the story "Message from Two Lovers" found in Book 1, pages 9 to 12. This episode enriches your experience of the original narrative while respecting its copyrights.

Our story unfolds with a group of journalists, led by Juni, on assignment in Batanes. They encounter Rodel, a local guide and descendant of a lighthouse keeper, who shares the tragic love story of Estrellita and Chiang. Their love blossomed amidst societal challenges during the Spanish colonial era, only to be shattered by jealousy and violence.

As the journalists delve deeper into the tale, they find themselves touched by the lingering presence of Estrellita's spirit. The lighthouse becomes a place where the past meets the present, its walls whispering secrets of a love that was tragically interrupted.

What would you do if faced with a message from beyond, like Juni was? Would you brush it off as imagination or see it as a connection to a story that refuses to be forgotten?
