number five there's a monster that seems
to be talked about in pretty much all of
Southeast Asia it has a woman's face a
long tongue it flies and it only has a
head with its entrails showing they are
called differently in different regions
trouser from Thailand up from Cambodia
when an angle from the Philippines or
even Babylon from brunei of course there
are small variations of their stories in
different regions but what is sure is
that they are dangerous
this monster they prey on humans they
really like to eat humans internal
organs like the heart stomach and liver
though their most favourite would
definitely be fetuses that's why a
pregnant woman right before or during
labor is the most vulnerable aster
babies might just be eaten and them left
today there are stories of how the
monster would disguise itself as a
midwife gaining people's trust until
someone is in labor as you can probably
deduct by now yes they are a human at
least some believe they are black magic
users with blood and internal organs as
their source of power or a black magic
user that got cursed into being the
monster this monster only comes out at
night detaching its head from its body
while they fly off to hunt their body is
then left at home or hidden somewhere
safe that is their weakness their bodies
if the head can't return to its body
it's pretty much dead number four have
you ever heard of a female ghost that
wears a white dress surprisingly the
description of a ghost is pretty common
around the world and Southeast Asia is
no exception burst upon tiyanak in
Malaysia and Brunei Kappa Raza in the
Philippines and sandal belong in
Indonesia other than their appearance
the other common thing between them is
how they
and why they became a vengeful ghost the
backstory usually starts with a pregnant
woman who died either during pregnancy
or during childbirth usually murdered or
treated badly resulting in their death
the ones in burn I would usually hang
about under or on trees they would be
standing her they would fly towards
whomever that saw them there's two ways
to know that they are around one if you
suddenly smell the smell of frangipani
which turns into some horrible stench
and two when you hear their signature
laugh which sounds a bit like this or
something like that yes hehehe if you
hear this laugh but not see the ghost
that's definitely around the louder the
sound it means it's far from me but if
you hear - laughs getting softer and
softer it definitely means it's getting
closer number three in Southeast Asia
there are folklore creatures known as
the Naga this is probably from Hinduism
and Buddhism which influenced a lot of
the cultural beliefs or even the
language of the people in Southeast Asia
though the name is - same descriptions
of the creatures different in different
places but the core of the creature is
pretty similar throughout its
serpent-like and easily has something to
do with the body of water either to sea
lake or river let's talk about the one
from the Philippines the Naga in the
legend is called bakunawa it is
described to have a big mouth has a red
tongue has whiskers like Shenlong and
dragon ball and two pair of wings along
its serpentine body from the legend the
mango is the reason why there are
eclipses in olden times the Filipino
people believed that there were seven
moons in the sky the bakunawa
ate all of them except for the one that
we see today there's a few different
versions as - I hate the moons I talked
about one of it and one of my Filipino
folklore video so here is another
version of the story
bakunawa was amazed by the moons amazed
by its beauty that it just wants to eat
them so it rose from the ocean and
swallowed the moons
one by one the people were getting
worried
they started banging on pots and pans to
scare the bakunawa from eating the last
one some even tried playing soothing
music to get the Nagas to fall into deep
sleep so maybe the bakunawa just got
bored of eating moons or what the people
did actually worked either way there's
still one moon in the sky number two
south osetia has a lot of influence from
Hinduism and Buddhism their mythical
creatures are pretty common as well
there is a majestic bird that was
believed to roam the sky and that bird
is called Garuda the Garuda is believed
to be a giant bird probably bigger than
airplanes are stories of them always
involves time casting a big shadow on
the ground by blocking the Sun with its
body though in some beliefs
the Garuda our half man half bird just
like a Tengu from the Japanese folklore
number one this folklore involves the
forest birds called along bunion I have
explained what this creature is in a
video about forest spirits are well back
so you can check that video out later if
you want this folklore came from
Malaysia specifically Malacca
the story starts with the mountain
called Mount offer or in their native
language bounnam lay down in the
mountain there were rumors that said a
beautiful princess of the Orang bunion
had sworn to never get married of course
men especially the type that wants what
he can't get were intrigued that
included the Sultan of Malacca at the
time the Sultan at the time already had
wives and kids but he still wanted her
so he sent a group of his finest
warriors to go and propose to the
princess seeing as how she was a far
spirit this was not an easy task when
the Warriors got to the mountain there
seemed to be a bear of when some of them
were left behind while some managed to
plow through just
we stopped by more obstacles like thick
bamboo cover but after a certain point
they reached a beautiful garden where
they saw for a beautiful woman having a
great time
tournament one of the warriors called
out to them and told them about their
quest the women listened and then they
suddenly vanished into thin air
but that night an old woman with a bent
back and akane appeared before one of
the Warriors so the old woman told them
that the princess sent her with a set of
demands
if the Rajah really wanted the princess
he would need to fulfill these demands
first build a gold and silver bridge
that would connect gonna lay down with
Malacca then prepares seven trees of the
hearts of mosquitoes seven trees of the
hearts of mates a vat of beetle nut
juice a VAT filled with virgin meat and
tears and a bowl of the Sultan's Crown
Princess blood hearing this it's pretty
obvious that the princess made
impossible demands because she didn't
want to get married and sure enough on
hearing these demands this Oulton was a
bit taken aback though he did say you
could definitely make all those demands
happen except for getting the blood of
his prince saying that that was just too
much
thus no wedding happened and they went
back to their own lives
the end
