Warning: This episode contains dark, unsettling scenes and themes. Sensitive listeners should exercise caution.
July 2005: Typhoon Feria (Haitang) falls on the Philippines with a biblical fury—roads turned to rivers, villages swallowed, and a sky so bruised midday becomes night. In the deluge’s wake, ordinary floods give way to something older: whispered warnings, drowned memories, and water-spirits awakened by abuse and neglect. In this episode I weave firsthand survivor accounts and local legends—rescues in waist-deep currents, disembodied heads in muddy living rooms, restless child spirits that follow rebuilt homes, and fishermen cursed by strikes against sea creatures—into a tapestry where natural catastrophe and folklore collide.
We meet:
These stories trace how typhoons don’t only destroy infrastructure; they unmoor the spiritual landscape. When the heavens open, what rises from the depths may be grief, vengeance, or a warning. Listen if you dare, and ask yourself: when the next storm comes, will we look to the sky—or to the water?
