Filipino Ghost Stories is crawling with spine-tingling tales of
supernatural encounters and hauntings in the Philippines. Ghost
stories are commonplace in traditional Filipino culture. Whether
they take place at a relative's funeral or at a hacienda located
deep in a remote province, virtually all families have their own
personal accounts of their encounters with the supernatural. Passed
on from generation to generation, these tales act as a bridge to
the past, to a time lost or nearly forgotten. To write this book of
ghostly encounters in the Philippines, author Alex Paman collected
eerie and terrifying tales that have been told in his family for
generations. Covering spooky interactions in bustling cities and in
rural towns--and even a short section about hauntings on American
soil--Filipino Ghost Stories offers good, old-fashioned scary
stories perfect to share around the campfire or under the blankets
with a flashlight. The 68 ghost stories include: Great Balls of
Fire Caught in the Wake Family Ties that Bind Just Outside the Door
Pitch Black Only the Wind A Brush with the Unknown Hide and Shriek
Like secret family recipes, traditional ghost stories in the
Philippines are valuable personal heirlooms meant to be passed
forward to future generations. Complete with abundant photographs
and illustrations, this book delivers terrific entertainment--and
some good spine-tingling chills--for those interested in the
Philippines and aficionados of the supernatural alike.
