THE ASWANG IN THE PHILIPPINES
When we first came here, we didn't have neighbors, the new houses next to me were still vacant. My son and I lived far away, just the two of us. We are at the very end, and near the boundary wall where there are many trees with other people living on the other side, I don't know who they are. There are also no tricycles traveling out, unless there are private vehicles or construction workers' tricycles passing by.
We just walk at the beginning for maybe 15-20 minutes out of the gate, depending on your speed. In the beginning, our little house didn't have much security or lock, the window was just jalousie and the door knob was the only thing that could be opened even without a key.
One night, something sounded outside, at the side of the house, a strange sound, like an animal. And sometimes something suddenly falls to the ground, as if jumping from above, or maybe flying and falling to the ground when it goes down.
And someone or something suddenly steps on the clothesline (aluminum bars) at the side of our house, rustling, I immediately hear the voice of a man's voice, like a small voice inside me saying, "SAY MY NAME!"
I will immediately say this in my mind, "IN JESUS NAME!"
There is no need to shout out loud, but only in the mind. I was fighting them with just my mind, when Jesus said "STRIKE THEM ALL!" I will do it right away, but sometimes I can't because there are so many of them, I see them in my mind. Their appearance is like a naked monster, big eyes, bald, even the body has no hair, thin or bones and skin, like aliens in the movie but they are called ASWANG in the Philippines. They are so strong for me, the Lord Jesus fought against them. He said this to me, "DON'T BE AFRAID. WE ARE HERE WITH YOU." - ANGELS and JESUS.
P.S Aswang have many forms; they are creatures that could transform into anything, maybe half human half beasts. Maybe others are doing evil, or maybe not. Maybe others are trying to be good, to blend in with the human world.
