On a humid Manila evening, a simple burger run turns unsettling when a blinding flash reveals a hovering silver orb—silent, deliberate, and gone in an instant. Set beside a WWII-era school rumored with restless spirits, this true account from Book 2 of True Philippine Ghost Stories (pages 20–22) by Jherry Barrinuevo blurs the line between everyday comfort and the unexplained. Was it an orb, a wandering soul, or something electrical like St. Elmo’s fire? We trace the tale’s roots in Filipino folklore and history, weigh the science, and explore how a childhood ritual can be forever changed by one extraordinary moment. Turn off the lights if you dare.

No spoilers—just questions that linger long after the last bite.

A rapid-fire companion to True Philippine Ghost Stories Book 2, this bonus episode stitches together three bite-sized scares set in Makati’s most familiar spaces: a late-night elevator ride at Makati Medical Center, a chilling encounter in the Insular Life Building, and a photo taken at Eastwood that reveals more than the lens should capture. These quick shocks turn routine moments—pressing an elevator button, clocking out after overtime, snapping a picture—into razor-edged reminders that even the most modern settings can hide ancient fears. No spoilers here—just tight, atmospheric setups and a clean hit of urban folklore that will make you think twice before checking that next snapshot or riding alone at 3 a.m.

A late-night newsroom on T. Kalaw. A restroom no one dares enter after dark. Flickering lights, empty elevators, and a proofreader’s scream that changes everything. Inspired by Judy May Geronimo’s account in True Philippine Ghost Stories Book 2 (pages 16–19), this episode follows the Daily Tribune staff as they confront a haunting rooted in a hidden tragedy—where mirrors bloom with blood and a desperate cry echoes through tiled walls.

We explore how fear intersects with memory, folklore, and faith—asking what happens when a place meant for privacy becomes the stage for unfinished business. From spirit questors to skeptical editors, from spinning chairs to sobbing in the night, this is a story about empathy, justice, and the ghosts that linger when pain goes unacknowledged.

Stay with us as we trace the clues, honor the culture that shaped these beliefs, and listen for the voice that still asks for help. No spoilers—just a chilling, thoughtful journey into a haunting that refuses to fade.

A new house in Baclaran should have meant peace. For Gerri, it became a crossroads between comfort and the unseen. From childhood visions of a departed aunt to a night when whispers in the garden threatened to “fetch” her father, this true account traces how faith, family, and fear collide when the boundary between worlds thins. Guided by Filipino folklore—manunundo, white ladies, and the power of a rosary—Mark walks you through a tense, intimate haunting that turns fresh paint and calm nights into a test of courage. No spoilers—just enough to make you turn off the lights and keep your prayers close.

Season Premiere: The Bathroom Ghost — Companion to True Philippine Ghost Stories Book 2

A midnight walk to the bathroom. A familiar face where no one should be. And a question that haunts long after the lights go out. In our season opener, we revisit “The Bathroom Ghost” from True Philippine Ghost Stories Book 2 by Jonathan Celeste—an intimate, unsettling encounter that touches on grief, family bonds, and the thin line between home and the unseen.

Through Marie’s story and the legacy of her “third eye,” we explore why private spaces become sites of fear, how Filipino folklore frames visits from loved ones, and what butterflies, water, and night whispers might mean in our culture. Join Mark as he guides you through the atmosphere, symbolism, and psychology that make this tale a modern classic—without spoiling the twists that await.

This episode is a respectful companion to the original work, intended to enrich your experience while honoring all copyrights held by Jonathan Celeste and the publisher. For the full narrative, refer to True Philippine Ghost Stories Book 2.

Trigger warning: themes of loss and supernatural visitation. Listen with the lights low—and your mind open.

In this chilling episode of the True Philippine Ghost Stories Podcast, we explore the eerie events surrounding a haunting in Nasugbu, Batangas. The story begins with the brutal murders of Marita and her daughter Jennifer in 1999, a crime that shook the community to its core. Corazon, a close family friend, was wrongfully accused and later released due to a legal technicality.

Years later, the Martinez family moved into the very house where the tragic events unfolded. They soon experienced supernatural disturbances—unsettling cries and unexplained noises that echoed through the night. Joseph and Eliza, the children of the Martinez family, felt a strong connection to the spirits inhabiting their home. Determined to uncover the truth behind the haunting, they embarked on a journey to piece together the unresolved mystery of Marita and Jennifer's deaths.

This episode delves into themes of justice and remembrance, highlighting the community's struggle with confronting past injustices. Through Eliza's determined investigation, we explore how cultural beliefs about spirits and unresolved traumas can shape our understanding of the supernatural.

Join us as we unravel this spine-tingling tale—a story not just of haunting, but of a plea for justice and recognition.
