Artillerymen and the Aswang

Wartime Stories

Show Notes

During a field exercise in the jungles of the Philippines, a unit of artillerymen responded to a nearby village reporting livestock thefts and the disappearance of a newborn child. What they encountered in the forest that evening would become one of the strangest stories ever shared between soldiers.

Drawing on accounts passed between servicemen and long-standing regional folklore, the incident raises unsettling questions about what may exist deep within some of the world’s most remote jungles. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
