Just logged in after a loooong time and this is the topic that I see I believe in these supernatural occurences and mystical beings... Sort of. Because when I was young I would periodically get rashes all over my body and my immunologist will say that none of the food I ate triggered an allergic reaction and that I'm perfectly healthy. So my mom will take me to this quack doctor who will get a bunch of candles and a bowl of water to do "[i]tawas[/i]" and he'll always say one of these things: [i]1. Nakagalit ako ng dwende. 2. Napaglaruan ako ng taong lupa. 3. Nakasira ako ng "bahay". 4. Nagkagusto sa akin yung maligno or w/e.[/i] So by the end of the "tawas" the quack doctor will give my mother a piece of paper with Latin writing on it (a few years later I found out from a priest that it was actually the latin version of the prayer Our Father ) and we should wrap it in red cloth. That's why when I was a kid my yaya will make sure that it's attached to my undershirt for my safety against these creatures. [quote=aya;#426122;1416708687]Share any weird stories that may only be done by kulam.[/quote] An aunt of mine experienced what she believed was "kulam". Her skin will have random and tiny fleshwounds (See Necrotizing Fasciitis) and it'll look like the wounds are rotting. The quack doctor said that this was done to her because she was a querida of a seafarer from Aklan. But it could just be flesh-eating-bacteria just like the doctor said.
