what about the windi?
my aunt told me about them when i was little and how they would have to go in early because there would be a big creature with wings flying around at night and taking people and devouring them.

not all multos are bad,
the white lady does you no harm. she would only hurt someone if she had a reason to in her life, not just a random person.

hey thats awesome stuff. So a couple things I’ve found out for myself :)

You can divide Filipino monsters into two categories. “Aswang”(which you mentioned) and “Multo”.

The Aswang’s are the creatures you’ve mentioned. They’re the ones that have physical form and can mostly be avoided or stopped by doing certain things, such you mentioned.

A Multo, are spirits, like the “white lady” These ones are the ones to be afraid of because they can take possession of ones body, haunt places, causes curses etc. They are harder to stop and in most cases require a priest or witch doctor to exorcise.

And just to expand on the “white lady” No its not meant to be racist but it is the most common sighted specter in the Philippines. They are mostly seen in a white dress and are spirits of women who’ve died a tragic death.

“white lady” is another one. i don’t think it’s meant to be racist or anything. she’s dressed in white and floats around like a ghost, i guess.

Nice research you got there. And thanks for the information. If you’r einterested, also try searching for Filipino Superheroes and Villains, one of my favorite villain is Zuma, the King of the Snakes. :)

Tyanaks= This mythical tiny old man with sharp teeth feeds on blood. It often lures its victims into coming close enough by taking on the form of an abandoned baby, then sinks its teeth in!
