For the final episode of 2022, I met with some of the Kwento Comics team (the first all-women, all-Asian comic book company highlighting Filipino and Asian mythology through the medium of graphic novels) as they shared some of their unsettling paranormal experiences, because sometimes the truth is creepier than fiction. First, Meriden speaks of her sleep paralysis demons. Then, Kuri recalls when her cousin was the target of an Engkanto prince’s infatuation. And finally, Cecilia shares a spirit’s cry for help at the Cathedral Basilica of St Augustine.

"Rest in peace." We say this when somebody passes because we hope that their spirit moves to the other side peacefully. But sometimes that transition is disrupted, resulting in a ghost. In today’s episode, I’ll be sharing stories of spirits who are still lingering on earth, unable to rest.First, I tell the tale of a grandfather ghost who had to deal with his feuding wife and mistresses.Then, I narrate the time a young girl was haunted by a lady who lived in her closet. Next, I read the experience of a person who was protected by a murdered boy while astral projecting. And finally, I share the story of a truck driver who encountered a phantom little girl.Ch 1 - Drama in the after life, submitted by JonCh 2 - The lady who lived in my closet, submitted by JurieCh 3 - The blood executioner, submitted by TylerCh 4 - Truck route, submitted by Tele
