60: I’VE BEEN DREAMING OF A WHITE LADY | White Lady Hauntings in the Philippines

She’s the lady in white, and she’s the bane of lone nocturnal cab drivers everywhere. This episode we cover one of the most popular ghostly creatures that has made a mark across cultures all over the world, the White Lady. If you’re driving alone through Quezon CIty’s famous Balete Drive, or picking up lone passengers in Baguio’s Loakan Road, you might encounter her solitary spectre.

Join us as we follow tales of her appearance around the Philippines and abroad, figure out her story, and what keeps her tethered to the earth, doomed to haunt men (yes, mostly men) forever.
