Ever wondered what lurks in the dark when the path ahead flickers with light? In this first part of our two-episode journey, we explore the Philippine and Asian spirits that lead travelers astray. From the fiery Santelmo dancing on the shores, to the Tikbalang twisting mountain trails, to the beguiling Engkantos of enchanted cities, our folklore brims with beings who thrive on deception.
We’ll then travel across Asia to meet Japan’s sly Kitsune and their fox-fire illusions, China’s wandering ghost lights, and other fire-born phantoms that tempt the curious into peril. Each tale warns us that not all lights guide home. Some burn, some bind, and some trap us forever in realms not our own.
Join me as we uncover the myths, meanings, and warnings behind these deceptive spirits, and ask: why do we keep telling stories of lights that lie?
