she asked me if i heard that "noise", then said "maybe there is a pregnant lady nearby". She is implying that the noise is made by a 'manananggal' (mythical creature in the Philippines who eats unborn babies). And this morning, there was a very pregnant lady, who may look like she's about to give birth, who passed by our house with her husband.
Kinda creeped me out, and we were about to sleep too.
I actually believe some of those creatures exist(aswang), like those nature spirits, since I have a few friends who had stories about them, I personally never had any experience with them, thank God.
They are mostly found in the province, places with little population. I think there was one here in the city, but it was such a long time ago.
I know it sounds absurd.

Some stories about mythical creatures can be very frightening, I am sure that if you try you can put it out of your mind but yes, my imagination has also taken me to many places and it has been hard to stop thinking about certain things

@lady1993 I too like horror movies and as a child I had such an imagination that at night I could not dangle a hand off the bed because something might grab me from beneath the bed

It might very well be, but you're also entitled to your feelings.

Sprinkling some salt around the house and hanging cloves of garlic in the windows and door would give you some peace of mind

@lady1993 my mothers side is from the Western Visayas island that's composed of the four provinces where these folklore originated. I'm a vampire slayer
