We’re flying across the sea to the Philippines for one of the most chilling legends in folklore: the Manananggal. By day, she’s a stunning woman blending into normal life, but by night she splits her body in half, sprouts bat-like wings, and hunts for her favorite snack—unborn children and human organs. Armed with a long, straw-like tongue that slips through cracks in windows and walls, this self-segmenting creature is the ultimate nightmare fuel.
In this episode, we break down her origins, gruesome feeding habits, and the bizarre ways to protect yourself if she comes knocking. Plus, we share a creepy Reddit story from someone who may have seen her up close and play our game Half or Whole, where we guess which celebrities might secretly be hiding wings. Grab your garlic, Krakheads, and join us for one hell of a ride.
