In this spine-tingling episode of the True Philippine Ghost Stories Podcast, host Mark welcomes listeners to the haunted halls of Fort Santiago with "A Summer Night's Tale" by Dino Ray V. Directo III. Known for its dark historical background, Fort Santiago sets the stage for a chilling account that turns a skeptic into a believer.

Dino recounts his unsettling experience during a play's opening night, where a routine restroom visit became a supernatural encounter. He describes the inexplicable cold air, an invisible touch, and the eerie simultaneous flushing of toilet bowls. His girlfriend’s experience in the women’s restroom, filled with ghostly footsteps and mysteriously flying tiles, adds to the haunting tale. These occurrences are not isolated, as the play's cast and crew share similar ghost stories, reinforcing Dino's newfound belief in the supernatural.

The episode explores themes of fear and vulnerability in intimate spaces, delving into Filipino cultural beliefs about spirits inhabiting places marked by suffering. While Dino's storytelling captivates with its immersive quality, listeners note that additional historical context could enhance their understanding of Fort Santiago's haunted past.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars, this episode invites listeners to reflect on their own beliefs and experiences with the supernatural. As a teaser for the next episode featuring "Silhouette" by Patricia S. Servano is shared, audience participation is encouraged.
