ASWANG
Aswang is an evil shape-shifting spirit in Philippine mythology. This creature originated back in the 16th century. Aswang is one of the scariest myths. Aswang likes to dine on fetuses and small children. There are different types of aswang such as vampire aswang (manananggal aswang), waredog, and witch. Surprisingly, aswang are able to feel emotions just like a normal person. During the day Aswangs still have some powers. Healing potions and casting spells are some of the powers that they have; they use them to help people in their town. Forced to hide their children, parents hide them before the sunset has finished. A person is able to turn into aswang if they chose to—you’re sick if you want that—by tying a fertilized chicken egg to their stomach. While women are sleeping, some of the aswang eat the baby inside her stomach. Aswang, one of the most famous Myths which came from the Philippines, has scared people for hundreds of years.
HIIII ANNE, I LOVE the way that you put in what century the aswang originated from. Especially when you said "aswang are able to feel emotions just like a normal person". I feel that is great that you mentioned that as there are people who think that evil creatures don't feel anything.
