I Never Want to Do Charity Work Again / A Dangerous Pregnancy (Reddit Stories with Wag Kang Lilingon) Aug 15, 2021

Show notes

There are many Filipino superstitions related to pregnancy, perhaps because it leads to a very special family milestone—the birth of another life into this world. And perhaps the most common superstition is that a pregnant woman should be very careful of "aswang" or any entity that could be after her child’s life, like in the two stories in this episode written by Reddit users zamakhtar (zamilakhtar.com) and Archana120, respectively, published on the No Sleep subreddit. Grace and Mimai, hosts of the Filipino horror comedy podcast Wag Kang Lilingon, lend their voices in this episode.

The Internet is filled with supernatural stories, and one place online that's so saturated with them is Reddit.
