Oh yes, good idea. When I was in school we had a Filipino roommate for 3 1/2 years. We heard so many stories and things about life there. Fascinating. I really miss those days now.
idk maybe it's because of how many missing persons and unsolved mystery cases I read about but if locals say "don't got there" I ain't fuckin' going there.
Wow!!! Somebody smart enough to possibly last a long ass time for their life!! Good to hear u have some common sense!! I'm right there with ur ass too! 🤣
I mean, even if nothing paranormal happens, it's still a big fuck off mountain. God knows what kind of dangerous animals live on it, and if the locals aren't willing to give you a trail, that probably means there aren't any, or it's too dangerous to bother.
I'm just saying, the first story is also what one might say if you decided to kill whoever you went camping with and wanted to use an urban legend to cover up for it.
Or there is something on that mountain that makes people hallucinate. And the dead guy could just have fallen off because of that hallucination. And the one who survived also had been under the influence and wandered in circles for days. What was with the third one, we will never know
Telling me there's a ghost on the mountain won't convince me, telling me that the mountain as unstable terrain probably will. Locals, even if you genuinely believe in the Supernatural, please give a non-ghost reason why you I shouldn't be up there
@@pennyforyourthots 100% agree. If I hear a place has monsters, ghosts, demons etc... That's probably why I'm going there in the first place. If I hear there's shady people, dangerous wildlife, something I KNOW is real that can harm me, I'd be way more willing to not go.
@@pennyforyourthots Oh yeah, lying is fine too. I would mention dangerous wild life and especially serial killers. And definitely include the long list of missing or dead people. Include pictures to push the impact.

I’m happy to see folklore stories from my wife’s place of birth. I would love to see Aboriginal/Australian folklore stories if you do a series on folklore from around the world as we have so many interesting and truly terrifying legends from the many different Indigenous Nations and from colonial history.
@@zerotodona1495 Yeah righto mate. Aboriginals have been in Australia for at least 60,000 years whereas Europeans have been migratory. Take the British isles for example. Who would you claim is indigenous to that particular region? The picts were wiped out. The Celts were all but supplanted by the Romans who left and were then supplanted by the Angles, the Saxons, the Jutes, and other Germanic tribes. Then came the Viking raids and the Norman conquest and the influx of people from the European continent. There’s no such thing as an indigenous Brit as they were basically wiped out or their genes were watered down over the centuries due to intermarriage. You’re just a butt hurt bigot.
I know that there's some weird gremlins or something out around Alice Springs and Uluru very late at night and down some random unknown tracks that haven't been used in Decades. But honestly if anybody would know if there's more stuff out there then that would be my sister since she lived out in Alice Springs for Years and travelled down countless tracks many times.
Crazy how the “My way song” curse made its way into a kids movie called “Sing” and the characters fate seemed to be going south after singing that song.
My paternal grandmother told me that almost as soon as they bought the land where the ancestral house now stands, things really started happening; the house on that land had long been abandoned, and sold at a cheap price, you see. She said that every evening, around 6pm, she would hear a rustling sound outside the kitchen window that was above the sink. One evening, when she was washing the dishes, she heard the same rustling, and decided to investigate. She pushed the window open, and nearly had a heart attack when she saw a headless priest holding onto one of the branches of the mango tree outside, and swinging back and forth like a monkey. The house that she and my grandfather bought was eventually renovated, but a lot of things still happened there as the years went by.... Just about everyone who set foot in that house - myself included - have experienced a lot of weird things there.
And I thought my home was haunted... 😨 We have a headless priest in my uni and he's a bit nicer. He goes around the campus around 10pm, checking each dorm room if the students are sleeping. He would knock if you're still awake.
True Story: My dad helped with his cousin's(my uncle) coconut farming business by driving trucks to and from Casiguran. One night during their usual route, they decided to stop by the side of the mountain road to relieve themselves since one of the people in the truck(there were 3 others besides my dad and uncle) wanted to take a dump. My dad stayed in the truck with my uncle while the others did their thing. All of a sudden one of them started sprinting back into the truck while another dude ran behind him. They both started yelling "There's a woman behind the fucking tree!" Apparently they saw a lady ghost. The third guy was still taking a shit when he saw the two run towards the truck. In his panic, he didn't even pull up his shorts when he fumbled towards the truck. He jumped inside the front seat of the truck and landed belly down on my dad's lap. He still had shit on his butt crack when my uncle who was a big scaredy cat himself drove off as fast as he could away from the roadside tree. My dad didn't know if he wanted to laugh or get angry because of the guy with the shitty buttcrack on his lap.

my dad is a biker, he likes to sing My Way at every event his club hosts, at one one of these events, one of the members was being rude, loud and an overall asshole, he had a bit too much to drink, when they kicked him out, the atmosphere wasn't the same anymore, many people left, my father among them, he left before he had the chance to perform My Way like he always does, he said he had a bad feeling about it and left, during dinner time, we were watching the news when it broke out that the member who was kicked out got in his car and ran over the club members as they were leaving the event and killed 7 people, if my father stayed long enough to perform My Way, he would have certainly been ran over, and considering his age and his health problems, i don't think he would have survived it
@@maynardj.keenan8957 yes but for some reason my comments get deleted, 7 got ran over, 2 died, it happened on February 24th 2019 in the town of Rebordosa in Portugal edit: i think the link is the thing making my comments dissappear
My boyfriend is from the philippines, I've finally found a way I can get him to give a lazy vid a go. I'd love more stories from the Philippines the culture is fascinating
@@HellenBach nice place there according to my girlfriend. she was there few weeks ago. she is from rizal province of manila. same place as the security guard shot the guy singing my way. I'll have to ask her about it.
After working somewhere for 13 years were karaoke was a thing, My Way was done so SO often, multiple times a night sometimes, that I can fully understand why someone would want to kill anyone that chooses that tune. I will die happy if I never have to hear it again.
Karaokes are often associated with drinking sessions. What usually happens is that people would punch in the code for My Way and wait for their turn to sing the song. Since many people would like to sing that song, people who are last on the queue would think that it's their turn to sing _that_ My Way when it plays. And since people are already drunk it sometimes leads to altercation and even death.
This is one of the more legitimate urban legends around here. It isn't that the fact that it's cursed (or maybe it is?), but rather that it was so popular for the longest time that it eventually got to a point where people got hurt or killed over the song. Of course, news like that spreads like wildfire here, and people nowadays believe the song is bad luck and such.
@@zildjianmatthewdelahostria1837 Weird fact: There were once a Chinese kid in China that decided to sing My Way in Karaoke. and later one of his family member said to him that he's a brat. and then the family began arguing and it turned into chaos. (I just read this info on that one article regarding My Way Killings).
my mom and her sister were out in a big rice field in the philippines. they have this shared memory of looking up and seeing, in the distance, a half-man half-horse creature. its called a tikbalang; they have the head of a horse and the body of a human. although it was from a distance, they could see that it was as tall as the bahay kubo (hut) that it was standing next to. they ran home terrified. to this day, they get goosebumps when they talk about it and if you show them a picture of a tikbalang, they become extremely uncomfortable/scared.
How interesting, Angie! I've started to compare more "modern" folklore of different countries with Ancient Egyptian / Greek / Rome Mythology; concerning the Tikbalang, it remembers me a little bit of the Centaur of Greek and Roman Mythology, just the other way around (body of a horse, upper body and head like a man).
@@reassmeaychuon7766 Lmao I remember when I thought I saw a Tikbalang in the middle of a road (in hindsight I think it's a big cow but it was dark as fuck) and as I kid who believed in stories like this I froze like a fucking stick and almost shat myself.
@@Mondy667 Your lucky you didn't get lost. One power that the Tikbalang has is to make people walk in circles. Stories say that if a tikbalang is around, even if you know were you are going, you will end up passing by the same tree again and again. Its like a loophole that never ends. To get off from this curse, you have to wear your shirt inside out .
The story "The Lantern's Glow" sounds very similar to what appears in the Taiwanese game "Detention." In the game, the main character you are playing walks through her broken-down school. As she walks through the hallways, a tall, eerie-looking man walks slowly through the hallway, holding a lantern on a stick. You have to hold your breath when the man nears you, and as you pass him, so he won't snatch/kill you. I highly recommend the game as it showcases quite a bit of Taiwanese folklore - the Lantern man being one of them.
I really hope you see this im from Bulgaria their is a village named "Shishenci" that is notorious for siren like creature's named "Samodivi" people have gone missing in the woods near the village and has become a famous location for vlogers hope you check it out
HAHAHAHA FUCK i remember staying up during funerals to watch over because of this belief it's scary though especially when there are little to no people left
@@amazinborkus6656 agree 😅 the belief that at least one should stay up all night to watch over the wake, or else the body in the coffin might be replaced
@@vj8711 yessss idk why it's scarier to watch over the recently dead than yknow staying overnight at the cemetery. I hate that the door is always open during the whole wake and I just stare at the door at night thinking something is out there
I really really enjoy the true stories, true crime, folklore, and mysteries from other countries.. especially Japan, South Korea, China, and the Philippines.
remember the hungarian suicide song? gloomy sunday? its linked to so so many suicides that if u try to play it on youtube it gives a warning WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK... the belief is that strong...
@@kimmyfreak200 That sounds interesting... I recently found something similar called "Everywhere At The End Of Time"... It was created over 10 years I think and its describing a mental condition and people cried at the end... I kinda want to give it a listen but nervous if I commit
@@heathermiller5765 @Heather Miller lmao i knew where one lived near us in the rural province and it was creepy. At their normal form they look like your average neighbor. But one time as I was visiting my relatives for vacation on the island of Panay, we went pass the supposedly "aswang" neighbor's house on a motorcycle with my uncle, and I whispered to my uncle "Is that the aswang guy?" As soon as I said that the f**king aswang dude stood up. he was upto 50 meters away and it was a terrifying experience. My uncle quickly hushed me and told me to shut up. Later that midnight as we were sleeping, there was a "tiktik" (it's like the aswang was in this form of a bird where it scouts the area if there are new people which is us). All the dogs started barking and my mother begun to pray ffs until it went away. Never should've asked. Also if the "tiktik" makes a tiktik sound loud, it means it's far away. But at that night it was soft and quiet so it means it was atleast a hundred meters where we were staying. what a creepy experience. there was more paranormal sh*t that I can't share over my experience staying because it messes my sleep sometimes.
The one about the priest really hit close to home for me. My hometown has a tale about a Nun who hid her church's treasure during a conflict between the british and french. She was attacked by unknown people searching for the treasure, and after she refused to te them the answer she was decapitated. This was around 400 years ago and legend says she can still be seen wandering the same area late at night searching for her head
@Matt Northern New Brunswick, Canada. A town called Miramichi. There's a park called "French Fort Cove" which is roughly around where the incident took place. I assume it was probably during the 7 years war, but I'm not certain
I remember one of our chemistry professor was in the science building (practically in the mountain top) who saw a nun thinking it was one of the teachers he went straight on greetings her when he came near he saw it was not his nun friend and she was floating in the air he run so fast down the mountain to the main building without stopping
It makes me feel genuinely happy seeing this channel again. Used to watch it constantly in my senior year of high school back in 2015 and my first few years of college after. Feels just like it used to, and that's awesome. I'm grateful that this channel never dropped in quality and actually got better. Now there's so many new vids to binge.
I also highly support the idea of turning this concept into a series. Your US road trip series was excellent and I don’t think I’m alone in being a lover of folklore. I think it would be very well received.
I'm filipino and I always think bal bal or aswang as we call them. They have a lot of similarities. Though aswang in daylight they can appear normal people. Also they use a bit of witchcraft and occultism.
They are very different creatures and it is disrespectful to talk about them in a manner like this- the Bal Bal is a creature that feeds on corpses, so while scary it’s less horrific. The other one? A malevolent, vicious evil spirit, not an urban legend, but regarded as very very real and dangerous. Even saying or typing their name could be enticing to one. They are not fun ghost stories nor fake cryptids. They are both sacred and evil, respected and feared, and it’s racist to flippantly compare creatures to this spirit.
@@jevilcore Oh chill out, if you wanna believe in them then whatever, but calling it racist to compare two creatures? You’re overreacting to say the least.
Normally, animal blood could be used in "strengthening" the foundations of a structure. I was told that my grandparent's houses was constructed with chicken blood on the foundations. However, some say that using human blood or sacrifice would give a stronger foundation and ward off evil spirits away from the structure, especially for huge buildings.
I feel like blood would attract evil spirits but idk. And I wander where all these blood is good myths come from but maybe some thing to do with Moses? When God told him to tell all the believers to smears blood (goat i think) so the spirits of dead would not kill their children. Idk
Headless priests usually are seen also in Intramuros Manila, as Intramuros was the center of the Spanish government when they colonized Manila. During the Second World War, the Philippines was no longer a part of Spain but Filipino society was still heavily influenced by Spanish culture, and a large Spanish minority also existed in the Philippines, and when Japan invaded the Philippines, it sought to get rid of everything European, including the Spanish families, so all Spanish institutions, churches and districts were massacred by the Japanese in their pursuit to change Filipino society away from Spain.
I’m usually hyped whenever I get a notification that you posted, but I’m extra hyped for this one because I get to learn some folklore about my homeland. Let’s GOOOOO 😤 🇵🇭
Lazy: "So switch off the lights, close the curtains and enjoy some of the collective tales of a truly diverse country..." Me, a brazilian: ***shows that Lazy posted this 1h ago and it is still 3:30 PM*** "Listening to this in daylight won't make me scared of anything..." Also me: "F*** you Lazy! I'm scared even though it is only 4PM!"
I've got a story I think is appropriate for this comment section, my girlfriend is Filipino, she's very thick skinned and doesn't make stuff up, but she did tell me that she once went there to visit some family and saw the apparition of a lady dressed in white in the upstairs area of their home and it still kind of freaks her out to think about
I used to live in both Samar and Leyte. Every time me and my family went back and forth, we would always cross the bridge. I loved seeing the scenery every single time. But in one occasion we left too late, and by the time we were crossing the bridge it was already night out. Going to Tacloban, our purpose was to get our car headlights fixed because we had a friend who could do it. Crossing the bridge at night with no headlights was scary. So we rode slowly. On the way, I would see people walking on the side of the bridge and I was surprised to find a few children without any adult supervision. I asked my mom why there were children on the road and she said I didn’t see anyone. I asked my dad the same question, and he said the same thing. I was mind boggled. A few years go by and I found a video on TH-cam about horror stuff about the Philippines. One of them was about the bridge, and I quickly found out what it was made out of or what it could’ve been. I asked my mom about the history of the bridge, and she confirms that when it was getting built, there were news about people, mainly children, going missing.
I clicked so fast!! I love, love this folklore. I was born in the Philippines 🇵🇭 so it's quite interesting to know. Your content is outstanding. Keep up the good work. 👍
These types of creepy stories are actually what got me to your channel years ago! I do enjoy your newer content, but these horror stories just hit differently (in a good way!) 💕
From Philippines too. My mom was born into one of those old blueblood families, but she grew up in the town her ancestors came from. So she hung out with kids her age from all social classes. But one of her best friends was a guy whose father worked on her family’s sugarcane field. He was a good and decent guy with a bright future ahead of him. Her grandparents were going to make sure he’d get into college because they were big believers in getting the next generation out of the fields. Anyway, they hung out a lot. Nearly every day. He was known to the family. So one day she was walking out of the compound’s gate heading to the park with her companion (like a nanny but closer to her age). She saw her friend standing by the wall leading into the property. She said hi but he didn’t seem interested in talking to her which surprised her. He just stood there, eyes on the ground with his hands in his pocket. My mom asked him what was eating him but he just stood there, didn’t even acknowledge her. My mom’s got a short fuse and is kind of a brat (still is). She was a teenager so she got offended that he was freezing her out. So she kind of called him and jerk and walked off, told him to talk to her when he’s done being a pill. That was mid-afternoon and she walked off with her companion, bitching about the guy. They came home before dinner, she washed up before sitting down for the meal. When she came down, her companion came running up to her and told her something terrible had happened. Her grandparents were waiting for her and they told her her friend had died. His younger brother, the troublemaker of the family, had gotten into a fight with a couple of adults. His mother was trying to break it up, but it got violent. One of the older men grabbed something like a machete and his mother screamed for her oldest son, saying they’re killing his brother. That son was my mom’s friend. He came running out, intending to defend his brother. He died, his stomach cut open and his hand had been cut off. They rushed him to the doctor, forgetting the hand in the process. He didn’t make it. So his body sat there in the town’s small hospital and it didn’t even have a morgue. The hand was found much later when a dog was munching on it. Whoever found it didn’t know what to do with it so they simply put it on top of a high wall to keep the animals off it, just outside their property. My mother and her companion saw her friend mid-afternoon that summer. She argued that what they were telling her was impossible, it couldn’t have been him. They both saw him, talked to him. Her grandparents assured her it was true and it was him. They thought she was distraught, in denial but my mom insisted that wasn’t it. They saw him mid-afternoon that same day, just outside the main gates of the property. It couldn’t have been him. Because they said the altercation occurred mid-morning. He was dead before lunch. It couldn’t have been him. They talked to him. Her grandfather thought for a moment then said, say she was right. That they were both right. Did he respond when she talked to him? My mom said no and my grandfather explained another part of the story. They saw him mid-afternoon. His hand wasn’t returned to his body until nightfall. My grandfather thought maybe he was looking for his hand and was wandering, as a lost spirit, trying to find out. He asked if they saw his hands. They didn’t, not that day. To this day my mother insists they got their time right, but refuses to believe she’d seen a ghost. Sometimes when she tells the story she rationalizes it, that maybe it wasn’t him after all. That it was someone else, which is why the person didn’t respond to them. But it’s a big private property with a longish drive in. It wasn’t a place people just randomly hung out at. She’s a skeptic but it’s one of those stories that isn’t so easy to let go of.
Honestly, I feel like some urban legends are just schmuck bait. Will I stay away from the "Haunted mountain" because I believe it is haunted by ghosts or demons? No I will stay away because all it takes is one 'wilderness expert' with a mean streak and I'm fucked. Not to mention possibly deadly local flora and fauna. I am not scared of the paranormal, the normal is scary enough as it is.
me either. I believe in God though, and believe that he break any curses or superstitions. So if I had to I WOULD tempt the fate, with a lot of prayer! LOL
I really love hearing about other cultures, especially their folklore and urban legends. Please make more of these videos from countries around the world.
Recently, I’ve been holding off on your videos for months so I can binge the new releases. Sick with Covid right now and this is making it bearable. Thank you Lazy
On Thursday 12/15/22 my family is going to the Philippines with our grandparents to see where we come from. All of us who are going are from the US. I recently found out that we have a lot of family still living there. These legends will be interesting to talk about.
That sounds like an awesome idea! I loved the series of stories from all of the American states and I would be really interested in seeing a similar one with international stories.
Maybe I'm the only CoD nerd here, but it's interesting that My Way is a cursed song, and it happens to be Edward Richtofen's favorite song. And the meaning behind the song too.
Love to see more folklore, this is a great start to a series. Try to read "Trese" as well! It's a great Filipino comic book that features creatures from our folklore in the Philippines.
@Phoenix 𝙾𝚙𝚎𝚗 𝙼𝚢 PROFILE good to hear your Father left right away. My Way is kinda notorious in the PH "drinking scene" as there are a couple of crimes happened after somebody sang that song.
It was also adapted into a series on Netflix a while ago I have two Pinoy friends that got really excited before its release. It’s a shame that it only had six episodes because they really had to rush the last part.
I know 3 individuals who died after sing My Way. The My Way thing could be explained by drunk peps, so drunk they think they can sing it. Its could be a gauge to see how drunk people are. I just call it "my way drunk" because only really drunk people sing that song or alternatively some good singers. Those 3 individuals are really drunk when they sang.
I couldn't agree more 😅 when I was a kid, our apartment was near this abandoned chappel and every midnight, I'd here someone outside walking ever so slowly as if they are dragging something. My aunt took the opportunity to scare the s**t out of us so we'd sleep early. She told us the tale about the headless priest dragging his chains and he'd float to our windows (we're on the 2nd floor) if we are still awake past bedtime. Gave me sleepless nights since then. My eyes were shut but my mind kept imagining those 😖
Pretty happy I stumbled on this. My dad was once a member of the PSG (equivalent of the secret service here in PH) during the Marcos admin before being a cop, been there from the start and wherever Imelda goes, he goes. I actually asked him about the bridge some time ago and although he's positive about his boss going to fortune tellers; the stories surrounding that bridge's construction was just ridiculous. He then proceeds to tell me something far creepier: to summarize; His station handled a case once where a family of 4 were found dead inside of their car (engine was off but electronics still running) that was parked in a highway. The bodies were found in a 'relaxed' state or as if they just all suddenly went to sleep, as my father would describe it. There were never any wounds or signs of struggle. He recalled the 'medico-legal' couldn't determine the cause of death after examining the bodies and just put 'suffocation' in it. Case went cold.
The aswang could be easily killed by using a whip made out of a stingray's tail. Kind of like how Simon Belmont uses a Vampire Killer in Castlevania lmao.
Nope. Not killed but it will cause so much pain because of wounds that the aswang will flee immediately. You can only kill an aswang if you know who the aswang is, get to its house before it when it’s wounded with a jar of salt (they need to get their special medicine to heal themselves). It they can’t enter their house before sunrise, they revert back to their human form and die.
@@PHjerome802 yes haha she scared me with so many more creatures from filipino folklore. She would cover her face with her long black hair and say that is what a mumu looks like
I’m Filipino. And a pretty strong, lean tough guy in my 40s. I’m also a skeptic who only believes in what I can actually see for myself. I never believed in the occult. But the story of the headless priest dressed in black wanting other people’s head to replace his own got me. That to me was the most terrifying. It got me stunned and sent my gaze into a fixed frozen stare in one corner for several minutes ! And since I always sleep alone in my room, this time I slept with my lights on the whole night after hearing the story. And even more frightening is the fact that this urban legend actually originated right here in my own country. Therefore it could well likely happen anywhere at anytime.
I swear that blood of children isn't just for the bridge. I've heard stories of it being used on houses as well. I just wasn't aware it started on the San Juanico bridge. Great content, Lazy! Videos like this call the Filipinos and your comment section will be filled by our support soon. More folktales to come, Lazy!!!
Thank you for covering 5 of probably hundreds of urban legends in my country. 😂 Now on a serious note. I am a professional from an upper middle class family. So you can say, I was pampered, raised in the city and well provided. Even managed to graduate with an expensive degree. Here’s the thing. I was too arrogant to heed the warning of those living in the rural areas while I was in the area…….. BIG MISTAKE. Truly grounded me. Ghosts and poltergeists are mere boogers on your pinky finger here. If you are a foreigner visiting our country, always remember that Filipinos are hospitable people &, though uncomfortable with giving you warnings at the risk of being accused of insanity, will at least try because none of the urban legends here are made up. Someone in the distant or recent past had to have experienced it. (As far as I know)
I got into lazy years ago after a bad breakup and I needed a way to get my mind to stop and focus on something , I tried drugs and alchohol and will admit I still do both . But thanks to these videos both are slowly dropping . Only weed and a drink these days . I think this saved me . THANK YOU
I've nust escaped an abusive relationship and please believe me as someone who's been there, addiction just makes things ten times worse. I've now been clean for ten months and finally found the courage to give a statement against my ex. He would beat me, burn me with cigarettes, scald me, not allow me to see my family, he would tell me from the age if 26 that I was too old to wear nice clothes, get my hair and nails done or wear make up. I had to account fir every second of my day and if there was even two or three minutes unaccounted for he'd accuse me of cheating and punish me by starving me gor anything from two days to a week.He got 18 months in prison. I'm happier than I've been in years and a big part of that is being off the drugs. I wish you well in your recovery
there's a lot of stories here in the ph. ill share a few: 1. my friend was on the road in a convoy of vans. she's in the second van. they stopped by the side of a wide rice field. people from the second van saw kids running from the rice fields to the first van. first van didnt seem to notice. 2nd van people ran up to check. nothing. this was in broad daylight. 2. there's this stretch of road in laguna notorious for being haunted. bikers dont want to ride there solo as many motorists confirm a second passenger would hop on the bike and theyd feel the weight shift as if a person suddenly plopped on their bike, but they aint stopping for shit to check and would continue to drive holding on for dear life. on the same road, jeepneys driving at night would hear someone shouting "para po", the jeep would stop, passengers would look around, driver gets confused as why no one is getting off. (para is what one would shout to get off, like saying hey driver this is my stop. a jeepney here is a public transpo vehicle). 3. bungisngis. hikers here know about them. they are cryptids in the mountains pretending to be someone you know, but will lead you off cliffs. they are shape shifters, and if you look closely at their faces, it's constantly shifting. and they have these wide grin.

Oh yes, good idea. When I was in school we had a Filipino roommate for 3 1/2 years. We heard so many stories and things about life there. Fascinating. I really miss those days now.
yes!
There's not enough story.
yesyesplspls
I would love that so much. So yes please
idk maybe it's because of how many missing persons and unsolved mystery cases I read about but if locals say "don't got there" I ain't fuckin' going there.
Wow!!! Somebody smart enough to possibly last a long ass time for their life!! Good to hear u have some common sense!! I'm right there with ur ass too! 🤣
You'd be a very smart horror movie protagonist ahaha 😂
I mean, even if nothing paranormal happens, it's still a big fuck off mountain. God knows what kind of dangerous animals live on it, and if the locals aren't willing to give you a trail, that probably means there aren't any, or it's too dangerous to bother.
@@Anvynn Yes
Exactly.
I'm just saying, the first story is also what one might say if you decided to kill whoever you went camping with and wanted to use an urban legend to cover up for it.
True! I was thinking this too.
This is the more logical explanation
Or there is something on that mountain that makes people hallucinate. And the dead guy could just have fallen off because of that hallucination. And the one who survived also had been under the influence and wandered in circles for days. What was with the third one, we will never know
@@romanscerbak5167 Yep, that makes sense as well.
@@romanscerbak5167 That was my train of thought as well
Tourists- Always respect the locals and their culture.
Locals- Be more specific and convincing.
Telling me there's a ghost on the mountain won't convince me, telling me that the mountain as unstable terrain probably will.
Locals, even if you genuinely believe in the Supernatural, please give a non-ghost reason why you I shouldn't be up there
@@pennyforyourthots 100% agree. If I hear a place has monsters, ghosts, demons etc... That's probably why I'm going there in the first place. If I hear there's shady people, dangerous wildlife, something I KNOW is real that can harm me, I'd be way more willing to not go.
@@pennyforyourthots Oh yeah, lying is fine too.
I would mention dangerous wild life and especially serial killers.
And definitely include the long list of missing or dead people. Include pictures to push the impact.
@@pennyforyourthots theirs probaa good reason why those stories are there in the first place
@@pennyforyourthots cannibals. I hear them to be the real deal.
Also drug lords in hiding.

I got several Greenlandic ones from family and friends laying around somewhere (...I wrote them and burried the papers along with other papers)
I’m happy to see folklore stories from my wife’s place of birth. I would love to see Aboriginal/Australian folklore stories if you do a series on folklore from around the world as we have so many interesting and truly terrifying legends from the many different Indigenous Nations and from colonial history.
Awesome idea
Until people start calling Europeans indigenous then other tribals don’t get that title either.
@@zerotodona1495 Yeah righto mate. Aboriginals have been in Australia for at least 60,000 years whereas Europeans have been migratory. Take the British isles for example. Who would you claim is indigenous to that particular region? The picts were wiped out. The Celts were all but supplanted by the Romans who left and were then supplanted by the Angles, the Saxons, the Jutes, and other Germanic tribes. Then came the Viking raids and the Norman conquest and the influx of people from the European continent. There’s no such thing as an indigenous Brit as they were basically wiped out or their genes were watered down over the centuries due to intermarriage. You’re just a butt hurt bigot.
I know that there's some weird gremlins or something out around Alice Springs and Uluru very late at night and down some random unknown tracks that haven't been used in Decades.
But honestly if anybody would know if there's more stuff out there then that would be my sister since she lived out in Alice Springs for Years and travelled down countless tracks many times.
In Australia, there is a creature called the bunyip.

My paternal grandmother told me that almost as soon as they bought the land where the ancestral house now stands, things really started happening; the house on that land had long been abandoned, and sold at a cheap price, you see.
She said that every evening, around 6pm, she would hear a rustling sound outside the kitchen window that was above the sink. One evening, when she was washing the dishes, she heard the same rustling, and decided to investigate. She pushed the window open, and nearly had a heart attack when she saw a headless priest holding onto one of the branches of the mango tree outside, and swinging back and forth like a monkey.
The house that she and my grandfather bought was eventually renovated, but a lot of things still happened there as the years went by....
Just about everyone who set foot in that house - myself included - have experienced a lot of weird things there.
And I thought my home was haunted... 😨 We have a headless priest in my uni and he's a bit nicer. He goes around the campus around 10pm, checking each dorm room if the students are sleeping. He would knock if you're still awake.
@@CapucineNighly That's nice of him, although... opening my door to find a headless priest standing there would DEFINITELY make me faint!
Hey! You should submit this to Lazy! Sounds pretty horrifying in a good way, if that makes sense?
@@macaroll Hmmm... I'll think about it. Thanks for the suggestion.
You could have just set up a cleansing ritual , search the property for the corpse and bless the place.
True Story:
My dad helped with his cousin's(my uncle) coconut farming business by driving trucks to and from Casiguran. One night during their usual route, they decided to stop by the side of the mountain road to relieve themselves since one of the people in the truck(there were 3 others besides my dad and uncle) wanted to take a dump. My dad stayed in the truck with my uncle while the others did their thing. All of a sudden one of them started sprinting back into the truck while another dude ran behind him. They both started yelling "There's a woman behind the fucking tree!" Apparently they saw a lady ghost. The third guy was still taking a shit when he saw the two run towards the truck. In his panic, he didn't even pull up his shorts when he fumbled towards the truck. He jumped inside the front seat of the truck and landed belly down on my dad's lap. He still had shit on his butt crack when my uncle who was a big scaredy cat himself drove off as fast as he could away from the roadside tree.
My dad didn't know if he wanted to laugh or get angry because of the guy with the shitty buttcrack on his lap.
😭😭😭💀💀💀
Id be pissed if i was your dad lol. That guy shouldve finished and wiped or at least pulled his pants up hahaha

my dad is a biker, he likes to sing My Way at every event his club hosts, at one one of these events, one of the members was being rude, loud and an overall asshole, he had a bit too much to drink, when they kicked him out, the atmosphere wasn't the same anymore, many people left, my father among them, he left before he had the chance to perform My Way like he always does, he said he had a bad feeling about it and left, during dinner time, we were watching the news when it broke out that the member who was kicked out got in his car and ran over the club members as they were leaving the event and killed 7 people, if my father stayed long enough to perform My Way, he would have certainly been ran over, and considering his age and his health problems, i don't think he would have survived it

@@HellenBach ask him about UPLB, there's also creepy stories about that university 😅
@@vj8711 I'll bring it up at the next family dinner, they might have some first hand stories, thank you!
@@HellenBach nice place there according to my girlfriend. she was there few weeks ago. she is from rizal province of manila. same place as the security guard shot the guy singing my way. I'll have to ask her about it.
After working somewhere for 13 years were karaoke was a thing, My Way was done so SO often, multiple times a night sometimes, that I can fully understand why someone would want to kill anyone that chooses that tune. I will die happy if I never have to hear it again.
Karaokes are often associated with drinking sessions. What usually happens is that people would punch in the code for My Way and wait for their turn to sing the song. Since many people would like to sing that song, people who are last on the queue would think that it's their turn to sing _that_ My Way when it plays. And since people are already drunk it sometimes leads to altercation and even death.
It is more likely that it is the result of being drunk.
Most Karaoke sessions are filled with booze and maybe even some drugs.
Understandable. “My Way” is the best song to sing when you’re shitfaced
This is one of the more legitimate urban legends around here. It isn't that the fact that it's cursed (or maybe it is?), but rather that it was so popular for the longest time that it eventually got to a point where people got hurt or killed over the song. Of course, news like that spreads like wildfire here, and people nowadays believe the song is bad luck and such.
@@zildjianmatthewdelahostria1837 Weird fact: There were once a Chinese kid in China that decided to sing My Way in Karaoke. and later one of his family member said to him that he's a brat. and then the family began arguing and it turned into chaos. (I just read this info on that one article regarding My Way Killings).
my mom and her sister were out in a big rice field in the philippines. they have this shared memory of looking up and seeing, in the distance, a half-man half-horse creature. its called a tikbalang; they have the head of a horse and the body of a human. although it was from a distance, they could see that it was as tall as the bahay kubo (hut) that it was standing next to. they ran home terrified. to this day, they get goosebumps when they talk about it and if you show them a picture of a tikbalang, they become extremely uncomfortable/scared.
How interesting, Angie! I've started to compare more "modern" folklore of different countries with Ancient Egyptian / Greek / Rome Mythology; concerning the Tikbalang, it remembers me a little bit of the Centaur of Greek and Roman Mythology, just the other way around (body of a horse, upper body and head like a man).
So basically the opposite of a centaur?
I researched tikbalang, to me it doesn't seem terrifying
@@reassmeaychuon7766 Lmao I remember when I thought I saw a Tikbalang in the middle of a road (in hindsight I think it's a big cow but it was dark as fuck) and as I kid who believed in stories like this I froze like a fucking stick and almost shat myself.
@@Mondy667 Your lucky you didn't get lost. One power that the Tikbalang has is to make people walk in circles. Stories say that if a tikbalang is around, even if you know were you are going, you will end up passing by the same tree again and again. Its like a loophole that never ends. To get off from this curse, you have to wear your shirt inside out .
The story "The Lantern's Glow" sounds very similar to what appears in the Taiwanese game "Detention." In the game, the main character you are playing walks through her broken-down school. As she walks through the hallways, a tall, eerie-looking man walks slowly through the hallway, holding a lantern on a stick. You have to hold your breath when the man nears you, and as you pass him, so he won't snatch/kill you. I highly recommend the game as it showcases quite a bit of Taiwanese folklore - the Lantern man being one of them.
OH YES YES YES my thought exactly when Lazy read that part! I love that game but the lore is kind of sad.
@M. literally got goosebumps when I read the word "Detention"
I really hope you see this im from Bulgaria their is a village named "Shishenci" that is notorious for siren like creature's named "Samodivi" people have gone missing in the woods near the village and has become a famous location for vlogers hope you check it out

Okay I made a mistake. The Bal Bal story is not one to listen to while trying to eat food. Great story, absolute appetite suppressant.
HAHAHAHA FUCK i remember staying up during funerals to watch over because of this belief it's scary though especially when there are little to no people left
@@amazinborkus6656 agree 😅 the belief that at least one should stay up all night to watch over the wake, or else the body in the coffin might be replaced
I had roommates that were studying to become forensic pathologists, and would put autopsy photos on the fridge.

@@heathermiller5765 @Heather Miller lmao i knew where one lived near us in the rural province and it was creepy. At their normal form they look like your average neighbor. But one time as I was visiting my relatives for vacation on the island of Panay, we went pass the supposedly "aswang" neighbor's house on a motorcycle with my uncle, and I whispered to my uncle "Is that the aswang guy?" As soon as I said that the f**king aswang dude stood up. he was upto 50 meters away and it was a terrifying experience. My uncle quickly hushed me and told me to shut up. Later that midnight as we were sleeping, there was a "tiktik" (it's like the aswang was in this form of a bird where it scouts the area if there are new people which is us). All the dogs started barking and my mother begun to pray ffs until it went away. Never should've asked. Also if the "tiktik" makes a tiktik sound loud, it means it's far away. But at that night it was soft and quiet so it means it was atleast a hundred meters where we were staying. what a creepy experience. there was more paranormal sh*t that I can't share over my experience staying because it messes my sleep sometimes.
@@blucifer87 i think it's 'cryptid' but i'm not 100% sure
The one about the priest really hit close to home for me. My hometown has a tale about a Nun who hid her church's treasure during a conflict between the british and french. She was attacked by unknown people searching for the treasure, and after she refused to te them the answer she was decapitated. This was around 400 years ago and legend says she can still be seen wandering the same area late at night searching for her head
That sounds interesting where is your hometown? Do you know which war this event occurred during?
@Matt Northern New Brunswick, Canada. A town called Miramichi. There's a park called "French Fort Cove" which is roughly around where the incident took place. I assume it was probably during the 7 years war, but I'm not certain
I remember one of our chemistry professor was in the science building (practically in the mountain top) who saw a nun thinking it was one of the teachers he went straight on greetings her when he came near he saw it was not his nun friend and she was floating in the air he run so fast down the mountain to the main building without stopping

Definitely turn this into a series! Would be great to learn the folklore of different countries with you narrating.
Oh my life, the Bal Bal sounds like a more terrifying skinwalker to me. How horrific for those two boys to have seen it
Right?! Both are scary and shouldn'tbe talked about easily!
I'm filipino and I always think bal bal or aswang as we call them. They have a lot of similarities. Though aswang in daylight they can appear normal people. Also they use a bit of witchcraft and occultism.
It's more like a ghoul. It eats the dead bodies.
They are very different creatures and it is disrespectful to talk about them in a manner like this- the Bal Bal is a creature that feeds on corpses, so while scary it’s less horrific. The other one? A malevolent, vicious evil spirit, not an urban legend, but regarded as very very real and dangerous. Even saying or typing their name could be enticing to one. They are not fun ghost stories nor fake cryptids. They are both sacred and evil, respected and feared, and it’s racist to flippantly compare creatures to this spirit.
@@jevilcore Oh chill out, if you wanna believe in them then whatever, but calling it racist to compare two creatures? You’re overreacting to say the least.

Normally, animal blood could be used in "strengthening" the foundations of a structure. I was told that my grandparent's houses was constructed with chicken blood on the foundations. However, some say that using human blood or sacrifice would give a stronger foundation and ward off evil spirits away from the structure, especially for huge buildings.
I feel like blood would attract evil spirits but idk. And I wander where all these blood is good myths come from but maybe some thing to do with Moses? When God told him to tell all the believers to smears blood (goat i think) so the spirits of dead would not kill their children. Idk
Wouldn't it be counterproductive tho ^^' use the blood of children to ward off evil spirits that might kill children
Why dont just use steel to reinforce the concrete
@@freesap8621 because jet fuels.
@@pb.alvesteguimaybe the idea is that the evil spirits would try to take the dead children instead of the living ones?
Headless priests usually are seen also in Intramuros Manila, as Intramuros was the center of the Spanish government when they colonized Manila. During the Second World War, the Philippines was no longer a part of Spain but Filipino society was still heavily influenced by Spanish culture, and a large Spanish minority also existed in the Philippines, and when Japan invaded the Philippines, it sought to get rid of everything European, including the Spanish families, so all Spanish institutions, churches and districts were massacred by the Japanese in their pursuit to change Filipino society away from Spain.

I used to live in both Samar and Leyte. Every time me and my family went back and forth, we would always cross the bridge. I loved seeing the scenery every single time. But in one occasion we left too late, and by the time we were crossing the bridge it was already night out. Going to Tacloban, our purpose was to get our car headlights fixed because we had a friend who could do it. Crossing the bridge at night with no headlights was scary. So we rode slowly. On the way, I would see people walking on the side of the bridge and I was surprised to find a few children without any adult supervision. I asked my mom why there were children on the road and she said I didn’t see anyone. I asked my dad the same question, and he said the same thing. I was mind boggled. A few years go by and I found a video on TH-cam about horror stuff about the Philippines. One of them was about the bridge, and I quickly found out what it was made out of or what it could’ve been. I asked my mom about the history of the bridge, and she confirms that when it was getting built, there were news about people, mainly children, going missing.

I can listen to murder cases everyday and night but when it comes to ghosts and stuff I get so scared. You made me really scared with your story 😱
Because natural stuff aren't that scary. You can't be scared of something you know you can defend yourself against. :D
Same. Tell me true stories with the most extreme gore and fucked up taboo stuff, I don't mind, but folk supernatural stuff? Nope.
It's the opposite for me
Why would you get scared of something that doesnt exist?
These types of creepy stories are actually what got me to your channel years ago! I do enjoy your newer content, but these horror stories just hit differently (in a good way!) 💕
From Philippines too.
My mom was born into one of those old blueblood families, but she grew up in the town her ancestors came from. So she hung out with kids her age from all social classes. But one of her best friends was a guy whose father worked on her family’s sugarcane field. He was a good and decent guy with a bright future ahead of him. Her grandparents were going to make sure he’d get into college because they were big believers in getting the next generation out of the fields.
Anyway, they hung out a lot. Nearly every day. He was known to the family. So one day she was walking out of the compound’s gate heading to the park with her companion (like a nanny but closer to her age). She saw her friend standing by the wall leading into the property. She said hi but he didn’t seem interested in talking to her which surprised her. He just stood there, eyes on the ground with his hands in his pocket. My mom asked him what was eating him but he just stood there, didn’t even acknowledge her.
My mom’s got a short fuse and is kind of a brat (still is). She was a teenager so she got offended that he was freezing her out. So she kind of called him and jerk and walked off, told him to talk to her when he’s done being a pill. That was mid-afternoon and she walked off with her companion, bitching about the guy.
They came home before dinner, she washed up before sitting down for the meal. When she came down, her companion came running up to her and told her something terrible had happened. Her grandparents were waiting for her and they told her her friend had died.
His younger brother, the troublemaker of the family, had gotten into a fight with a couple of adults. His mother was trying to break it up, but it got violent. One of the older men grabbed something like a machete and his mother screamed for her oldest son, saying they’re killing his brother. That son was my mom’s friend. He came running out, intending to defend his brother.
He died, his stomach cut open and his hand had been cut off. They rushed him to the doctor, forgetting the hand in the process. He didn’t make it. So his body sat there in the town’s small hospital and it didn’t even have a morgue.
The hand was found much later when a dog was munching on it. Whoever found it didn’t know what to do with it so they simply put it on top of a high wall to keep the animals off it, just outside their property.
My mother and her companion saw her friend mid-afternoon that summer. She argued that what they were telling her was impossible, it couldn’t have been him. They both saw him, talked to him. Her grandparents assured her it was true and it was him. They thought she was distraught, in denial but my mom insisted that wasn’t it. They saw him mid-afternoon that same day, just outside the main gates of the property. It couldn’t have been him.
Because they said the altercation occurred mid-morning. He was dead before lunch.
It couldn’t have been him. They talked to him.
Her grandfather thought for a moment then said, say she was right. That they were both right. Did he respond when she talked to him? My mom said no and my grandfather explained another part of the story.
They saw him mid-afternoon. His hand wasn’t returned to his body until nightfall.
My grandfather thought maybe he was looking for his hand and was wandering, as a lost spirit, trying to find out. He asked if they saw his hands. They didn’t, not that day.
To this day my mother insists they got their time right, but refuses to believe she’d seen a ghost. Sometimes when she tells the story she rationalizes it, that maybe it wasn’t him after all. That it was someone else, which is why the person didn’t respond to them. But it’s a big private property with a longish drive in. It wasn’t a place people just randomly hung out at. She’s a skeptic but it’s one of those stories that isn’t so easy to let go of.
That sounds like a great idea to do a road trip like the US for the horror and folklore Lazy
He did the road trips from all USA but not the folklore of USA. I think doing all of USA folklore for each state would be fun.

Been following Lazy for years.. I have listened to every post countless times.
I'd LOVE more stories from around the globe. This would make a great series!
Yes, please turn this into a series. I LOVED the American road trip series and I would love an international folklore series. Please do it. 💕
Didn't expect this one, at first I thought Reignbot would do this first.
Same here, but I am not complaining since it is Papa Lazy.
Reignbot is a political smuck
Reignbot hasn't put out a good video in years. I recently unsubscribed because of how boring their videos are.
@@davidbronstein2040 No need to mug another creator off..
@@bkknight context, I haven't watch her vid in years tbh.
Ah yes, as a Filipino I find this a treat. It's like eating childhood food which is fear.
I'm not a superstitious person but I'm not willing to tempt fate
That's just called being smart
Honestly, I feel like some urban legends are just schmuck bait.
Will I stay away from the "Haunted mountain" because I believe it is haunted by ghosts or demons? No
I will stay away because all it takes is one 'wilderness expert' with a mean streak and I'm fucked.
Not to mention possibly deadly local flora and fauna.
I am not scared of the paranormal, the normal is scary enough as it is.
me either. I believe in God though, and believe that he break any curses or superstitions. So if I had to I WOULD tempt the fate, with a lot of prayer! LOL
@@TonySamedi - Agreed
@@EphemeralProductions God is truly mighty
I really love hearing about other cultures, especially their folklore and urban legends. Please make more of these videos from countries around the world.
Yes Lazy!!! Yes please make this into a regular series. I would love hearing about all the different types of urban legends from all over the world!
The ad almost sounded like “Mekarina”
Hope you do more of these regional legends and folklore stories.

@@Jprager iight!
You guys ever dance to the Mech Arena when you were a kid? "Heyyy Mech Arena"
You mean, "Macarena" ? Lol the Spanish song?
What the hell is a mech arena?
Do you mean the Macarana
@@Lamexica92 lol yeah 😂
@@madamefeast4824 thats the joke buddy!
What's the best combination that goes with "Scary" or "Horror"?

Recently, I’ve been holding off on your videos for months so I can binge the new releases. Sick with Covid right now and this is making it bearable. Thank you Lazy
Hope you’re feeling better man, COVID isn’t fun to deal with.
The Philippines is a HIGHLY superstations and paranormal country. Thank you for sharing our stories ❤️
I'm so glad we get another folklore video. This should be a series.
As someone who's been following you for the last few years now, YES, turn this into a series.

On Thursday 12/15/22 my family is going to the Philippines with our grandparents to see where we come from. All of us who are going are from the US. I recently found out that we have a lot of family still living there. These legends will be interesting to talk about.

That sounds like an awesome idea! I loved the series of stories from all of the American states and I would be really interested in seeing a similar one with international stories.
Maybe I'm the only CoD nerd here, but it's interesting that My Way is a cursed song, and it happens to be Edward Richtofen's favorite song. And the meaning behind the song too.
Love to see more folklore, this is a great start to a series. Try to read "Trese" as well! It's a great Filipino comic book that features creatures from our folklore in the Philippines.
@Phoenix 𝙾𝚙𝚎𝚗 𝙼𝚢 PROFILE good to hear your Father left right away. My Way is kinda notorious in the PH "drinking scene" as there are a couple of crimes happened after somebody sang that song.
It was also adapted into a series on Netflix a while ago I have two Pinoy friends that got really excited before its release. It’s a shame that it only had six episodes because they really had to rush the last part.
I know 3 individuals who died after sing My Way. The My Way thing could be explained by drunk peps, so drunk they think they can sing it. Its could be a gauge to see how drunk people are. I just call it "my way drunk" because only really drunk people sing that song or alternatively some good singers. Those 3 individuals are really drunk when they sang.
"he probably saw your heads, and wanted to use one as his own" SAW WITH WHAT EYES? lol
That's the part you have a problem with? Not the walking headless corpse?
It's kinda eerie that the devil's mountain has a name that means Christ-bearer (Cristobal).
yesss this would make a good series! esp. south + southeast asian lore
The headless priest is classic. I read this on Philippines Ghost Stories book, I can recall how I can't sleep for days as a kid. 🙃
I couldn't agree more 😅 when I was a kid, our apartment was near this abandoned chappel and every midnight, I'd here someone outside walking ever so slowly as if they are dragging something. My aunt took the opportunity to scare the s**t out of us so we'd sleep early. She told us the tale about the headless priest dragging his chains and he'd float to our windows (we're on the 2nd floor) if we are still awake past bedtime. Gave me sleepless nights since then. My eyes were shut but my mind kept imagining those 😖
Pretty happy I stumbled on this. My dad was once a member of the PSG (equivalent of the secret service here in PH) during the Marcos admin before being a cop, been there from the start and wherever Imelda goes, he goes. I actually asked him about the bridge some time ago and although he's positive about his boss going to fortune tellers; the stories surrounding that bridge's construction was just ridiculous.
He then proceeds to tell me something far creepier:
to summarize; His station handled a case once where a family of 4 were found dead inside of their car (engine was off but electronics still running) that was parked in a highway. The bodies were found in a 'relaxed' state or as if they just all suddenly went to sleep, as my father would describe it. There were never any wounds or signs of struggle. He recalled the 'medico-legal' couldn't determine the cause of death after examining the bodies and just put 'suffocation' in it. Case went cold.
The aswang could be easily killed by using a whip made out of a stingray's tail.
Kind of like how Simon Belmont uses a Vampire Killer in Castlevania lmao.
Nope. Not killed but it will cause so much pain because of wounds that the aswang will flee immediately. You can only kill an aswang if you know who the aswang is, get to its house before it when it’s wounded with a jar of salt (they need to get their special medicine to heal themselves). It they can’t enter their house before sunrise, they revert back to their human form and die.
Yes, folklore and vocal histories! This is the best way to keep those stories alive so they won't be forgotten.
I got chills when he said "I saw it too"
Lazy, would you consider doing a 24hr radio, like creeps and the dark somnium do? I LOVE relaxing to your voice, and I'd love to have it on overnight
Daaaaamn girl thirsty as well lmao
@@syn_2529 lmao you caught me
yes i’ve missed these stories and hope they come back at least for a while again
This could be a good manga of folklore compilation like the junji ito collection.
nice, my mom was born there. she still has friends from the Philippines.
When i was younger, if i was misbehaving my yaya would scare me into obedience by saying a sigbin will come get me at night.
But apparently, a sigbin is just a pet to the more sinister aswangs
@@PHjerome802 yes haha she scared me with so many more creatures from filipino folklore. She would cover her face with her long black hair and say that is what a mumu looks like
Lol 😂 that scare tactic was so commonplace that we all grew up with "if you don't sleep early, the aswang will get you" or something like that
I would love hearing more folklore from other countries! That sounds like a wonderful idea for a series! :D
I’m Filipino. And a pretty strong, lean tough guy in my 40s. I’m also a skeptic who only believes in what I can actually see for myself. I never believed in the occult. But the story of the headless priest dressed in black wanting other people’s head to replace his own got me. That to me was the most terrifying. It got me stunned and sent my gaze into a fixed frozen stare in one corner for several minutes ! And since I always sleep alone in my room, this time I slept with my lights on the whole night after hearing the story. And even more frightening is the fact that this urban legend actually originated right here in my own country. Therefore it could well likely happen anywhere at anytime.
The headless man “probably saw one of your heads and wanted to use it as his own” there’s just one little flaw with that sentence..
I swear that blood of children isn't just for the bridge. I've heard stories of it being used on houses as well. I just wasn't aware it started on the San Juanico bridge. Great content, Lazy! Videos like this call the Filipinos and your comment section will be filled by our support soon.
More folktales to come, Lazy!!!
*Philippines 🇵🇭
Can't ask for anything better than Lazy Masquerade content on a lazy Sunday!
Background sounds are the best👍🏼
I love my guy Lazy getting some sponsors! Get it, my man!
This was so good! You know it's a great video if you actively feel sad when it's over
Thank you for covering 5 of probably hundreds of urban legends in my country. 😂
Now on a serious note. I am a professional from an upper middle class family. So you can say, I was pampered, raised in the city and well provided. Even managed to graduate with an expensive degree. Here’s the thing. I was too arrogant to heed the warning of those living in the rural areas while I was in the area…….. BIG MISTAKE. Truly grounded me. Ghosts and poltergeists are mere boogers on your pinky finger here. If you are a foreigner visiting our country, always remember that Filipinos are hospitable people &, though uncomfortable with giving you warnings at the risk of being accused of insanity, will at least try because none of the urban legends here are made up. Someone in the distant or recent past had to have experienced it. (As far as I know)
I got into lazy years ago after a bad breakup and I needed a way to get my mind to stop and focus on something , I tried drugs and alchohol and will admit I still do both . But thanks to these videos both are slowly dropping . Only weed and a drink these days . I think this saved me . THANK YOU
I've nust escaped an abusive relationship and please believe me as someone who's been there, addiction just makes things ten times worse. I've now been clean for ten months and finally found the courage to give a statement against my ex. He would beat me, burn me with cigarettes, scald me, not allow me to see my family, he would tell me from the age if 26 that I was too old to wear nice clothes, get my hair and nails done or wear make up. I had to account fir every second of my day and if there was even two or three minutes unaccounted for he'd accuse me of cheating and punish me by starving me gor anything from two days to a week.He got 18 months in prison. I'm happier than I've been in years and a big part of that is being off the drugs. I wish you well in your recovery
The Philippines is literally a country of a lot of Mini-Countries. We have tons of ethnicities.
Or a miniature world.
And..
I'm a Filipino and this makes me proud! Thanks for featuring this @Lazy Masquerade
there's a lot of stories here in the ph. ill share a few:
1. my friend was on the road in a convoy of vans. she's in the second van. they stopped by the side of a wide rice field. people from the second van saw kids running from the rice fields to the first van. first van didnt seem to notice. 2nd van people ran up to check. nothing. this was in broad daylight.
2. there's this stretch of road in laguna notorious for being haunted. bikers dont want to ride there solo as many motorists confirm a second passenger would hop on the bike and theyd feel the weight shift as if a person suddenly plopped on their bike, but they aint stopping for shit to check and would continue to drive holding on for dear life. on the same road, jeepneys driving at night would hear someone shouting "para po", the jeep would stop, passengers would look around, driver gets confused as why no one is getting off. (para is what one would shout to get off, like saying hey driver this is my stop. a jeepney here is a public transpo vehicle).
3. bungisngis. hikers here know about them. they are cryptids in the mountains pretending to be someone you know, but will lead you off cliffs. they are shape shifters, and if you look closely at their faces, it's constantly shifting. and they have these wide grin.
Thanks for uploading Lazy! Today’s my birthday and I’m very appreciative for the video! I hope you and everyone else have a great day!
Happy birthday
🦋Happy Birthday!!🦋
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I just started watching this Channel a couple of weeks ago...Love it!🥳🥳🥳
@@bethannemil3662 Thank you very much! And I agree, Lazy’s content is awesome! I hope you’re having a good day!
@@llibrehpic6886 Thank you!
No need to call the devil he will come on his own. That mountain sounds like the very description of a portal to hell.
Love your content Lazy! I especially love regional stories like these... gives it more of a realistic feel. Thanks brother!
I'm glad that you put an explanation for the song killings. Personally I feel stories like this should have a breakdown of what most likely happened.
