Creepier Than Fiction, with Kwento Comic...

Sapphire Sandalo
About this episode

For the final episode of 2022, I met with some of the Kwento Comics team (the first all-women, all-Asian comic book company highlighting Filipino and Asian mythology through the medium of graphic novels) as they shared some of their unsettling paranormal experiences, because sometimes the truth is creepier than fiction. First, Meriden speaks of her sleep paralysis demons. Then, Kuri recalls when her cousin was the target of an Engkanto prince’s infatuation. And finally, Cecilia shares a spirit’s cry for help at the Cathedral Basilica of St Augustine. Check out "Mask of Haliya"!
