🔴 Nonstop Tagalog Horror Stories 316 | Pinoy Horror Radio

In a transient house in Baguio City, a guest woke to the sound of someone trying to force open the bedroom door. The knocking was urgent, like an emergency, but no one was there. When he finally opened his eyes, he saw a large, red-eyed figure standing at the foot of the bed, its tongue hanging out, its body contorted upside down like a bat clinging to the wall. This is one of several encounters shared on this episode of Pinoy Horror Radio, where listeners recount experiences with sleep paralysis, ancestral house hauntings, and the aswang—a shapeshifting creature in Filipino folklore.

The Aswang and the Ancestral House

The first story centers on a man who grew up in his family's ancestral house, where he had a terrifying encounter with an aswang. He described waking up to find a figure with red eyes, a long tongue, and a body that moved upside down across the ceiling. The creature tried to reach for him, but he was paralyzed, unable to move or scream. He eventually heard his mother's voice outside the door, and the entity vanished. The narrator later reflects on whether the experience was real or a product of his mind, noting that the aswang might be able to manipulate memory, making it difficult to distinguish between nightmare and reality.
