Aswang.. real or myth?

Hello xtedaxcvg! I personally don't believe aswang. I guess it's only a myth. When I was young, I kept on hearing stories about it and I was really scared. But until now, I haven't seen any so I guess it's not true.

For me I don't believe in Aswangs. But my great grandmother who took care of me told me that her mother said Aswangs are real. There is a province known as Capiz where Aswangs are associated and believed to be residing. But I don't know if they are true. Maybe before when we are not civilized so much yet or during Rizal's times. But nowadays, we are on a modern society so no more aswangs but only buwayas in the government.

I have heard a lot of stories about Aswang, but I dont believe that there really exist an Aswang until I see one right in front of me trying to prey on his victim. I haven't seen one for the last 40 years of my life. And I hope that I will never have the chance to see one, because when it happens I would't know what will I do, where do I run for help.

I have experience "aswang" who made me scare when my wife was pregnant with youngest son.I saw a big bird that making sounds in the middle of the night in our house at the province.Many folk stories that "aswang" do really exist,and i do believe on it for it is also stated in the bible that this creatures are evil spirits.

hi and hello to all my co-mylot members. . . especially to all my friends who are so busy making money by giving a post in every discussion they encounter in this site. . . By the way this is my response to your forum topic entitled ASWANG... real or myth? when i was a little child my parents always share me a story about aswang and it really scared me, she always tell me that in the night when the moon is a full when the time came at 12 night, you must go to your house so you will no longer encounter a aswang because if ever you encounter a aswang, that monster will it you a live and as i know you will became also a aswang like a vampire. . . may be aswang and vampire is somehow relative with eating blood and flesh. . . well but know that i am already a teen i thnink , i am not believing in aswang as long as i dont encounter them. but by the way i hope i don't encounter the. hehe . . . LOL... XD well thats the end of my response to your forum topic ! ! ! thank you for giving opportunity to response. . . GODBLESS YOU ALWAYS. . . and happy earning ang happy posting. . .

hi i believe that every religion has good portion and an evil portion . i really dont know abt these vampires witches but i feel they are just stories with added salt for taste. ther must hav been one case in the past abt sm guy doing things like these but people keep adding weird thgs to it and finally it forms smthg like a aswag ... i beleive its a myth ther r several myths like these especially in countries like India ... you go in every state or city ther must be some myth or other .. tc keep lottg

[i]I am confuse really but I know no one has ever seen one. I grew up in a very small baranggay in Visayas where everyone was talking about seeing this and that even my relatives and I am not sure about it,,,, When I was a kid, I admit I have seen one creature, a skeleton image under our sewing machine but I don't think it's an aswang.....He was eating that time and I was running to our room and crying when mom arrived from the market, I told her about it and she checked the area and saw an old bone of chicken which she didn't see when she was cleaning before going to the market....After a week, My dad decided to move![/i]

There are real bad spirits in our surroundings although we haven't seen them. Maybe there are some "aswangs" before in other provinces in the Philippines but it looks like we haven't heard anything like "girl eaten by someone" haha... Well, if this is real, I should start hiding myself in place were he/she can find me? LOL!

i honestly don't know but if it is really true I sure hope I don't encounter one for myself, I'd be so terrified!

Aswangs may be roaming in the metro but I don't think they will take the chance of transforming into a big bird, boar or any animal. Or else, they will be mistaken for free "pulutan" (finger food). Precisely, because most of the people living in the urban areas don't believe on "aswangs" existence. Personally, I don't think aswangs do exist. I believe though that there are those who practice black magic and some of them have immense capability to harm other people.

some believes it and i do too, but the description are only myth.real "aswang" dont fly.they just float 3-5inches the ground...lol

A lot of people tell me not to believe in them.. but i still keep on believing there are because i get scared when I'm alone outside during the dark.. i feel like the cat is going to chop me or something that just makes me want to kick it. Really scary..but they there aren't any in the cities especially in NCR.. no no no if something like that appears and fly through the skies.. *BANG* down it goes.. it'll be killed by drunkards on the sari-sari store haha!

I think they are totally real. i have not heard or seen them for myself.. but my friends did and i saw some documentaries about them. there is nothing wrong with believing i guess, they are usually in distant provinces anyway..

Even though I haven't really seen any of them- I bet they are real (as real as "engkantos" and other stuff).... some people have seen them too. I hope I never see them though..That would be so scary..
