The topic that I will explore is the Aswang or (Asuwang) are the most feared of supernatural creature on the Philippines. An Aswang is generally viewed as a shape-shifter that prowls the evening looking for corpses, infants, fetuses and sometimes, people to consume. Also they can enter the body of a person and through this person they inflict harm on those that they dislike. Most common are the female variety that appear as an ugly old woman with long, unkempt hair, blood-shot eyes, long nails, and a long, black tongue. They have holes in their armpits which contain oil. This gives them power of flight. They can transform themselves into shapes, even inanimate objects. They prey on children, pregnant people, and ill people. They are also called vampires. When they attack a prey, they make a replica of the prey, and send it to their home. The victim will get sick and die. I choose this topic because back in the Philippines I used to horrify by them.
