The flicker of a lone bulb, the cold breath of an empty rectory, and a priest whose gift for sermon hid a hunger for wealth—this week on Stories Philippines we travel to San Pedro, Quezon, where faith and avarice collided at the foot of Mount Banahaw. From Father Leandro’s slow slide into corruption and the missing parish funds, to a brutal death and the lingering sense of greed that seems to replay itself within the stone walls, this episode probes a terrifying question: can a soul corrupted by betrayal become its own eternal punishment — or did something darker answer that call from the mountain?
Hear eyewitness accounts, recordings of unexplained sounds, EMF spikes, and the bone-deep cold reported by priests and parish workers who dared to return. We examine local folklore about the Sumpa, parallels to global cases of residual hauntings and simony, and the theological weight of broken vows. Proceed with caution—this episode contains themes of spiritual betrayal and paranormal horror that may be unsettling.
