i feel like there is a cambodian version of her.. not sure..
>>18921418
recommend films! In the philippines we got the manananggal, similar behaviors and prey items as your kuyang, but separates the torso and sprout wings at night instead. It's interesting how similar the two are. South east asia just have a very gory folklore eh?
>>18921207
This is called the white lady in the philippines
>>18921325
and this one is exactly called Santelmo
This is getting eerie how our neighboring countries share the same spooks even when apart by sea. There's definitely something goin on in the south east.

not some kind of fleshgait i suppose, i only know that he appears as shadow to the other townsfolk, but its target will see it as one of their friend. also, its harmless and friendly, as opposed to fleshgait that others depict as brutal and aggressive

what about Leaks/Leyaks, they're my favourite ones
>>18922543
>>18921793
>>18921404
>>18921309
Why so many creatures based on incomplete human anatomy
>>18921169
Hey indofag tell us something about Bali.
>>18921169
I find your self stereotyping amusing
>>18922543
Leaks is originated from Bali, preys almost same as Kuyang, but Leaks also preyed on dead bodies
>>18922598
because its Southeast Asia, that's why. you'll find similiar lores in the Region, such as Philippines or Cambodia
>>18922723
Leaks are natives of Bali, almost similar to kuyang, humans who practicing black magic, preyed on pregnant women and dead bodies. also, natives of Bali have oral traditions of Giants (Eurofags or Muricafags will think of Troll in their own folklore) and Believes that each statue and trees has its own spirit, therefore its mandatory for natives to treat them the same as any normal human being
Urban Legend : Sofyan Hotel, Jakarta
>in early 2000s a woman found dead
>drug overdose
>has a nightclub
>the woman's spirit said to haunt the club
>often appears in the nightclub during midnight
The Potato House, Jakarta
>long ago in this normie house
>house's maid is boiling potatoes in a huge cauldron
>maid also takes care of master's little boy
>errrr not really, maid kinda distracted
>little boy fell into cauldron, boiling potatoes
>the boy boiled to death instantly
if you're wandering near this house at midnight, you its your lucky night you'll smell the scent of boiled potatoes, and sometimes the sound of a little boy's crying from the house
Yogya Department Store, Jakarta
>1998
>riots everywhere
>blm riots is nothing compared to dis
>rioters cornered some folks in this building
>lock it up
>trapped inside
>rioters burn down the building with everyone inside
>400 charred corpses found shortly after
if you're fucking around this department store at night, if you're lucky you'll be greeted by charred human or mutilated man pledging for help
Rasuna Said Boulevard, Jakarta
>literally located in the metropolitan area's most crowded part
>still haunted though
>frequent traffic accidents
>drivers and bikers claimed suddenly see shadowy figures crossing the road
>prompting them to avoid them immediately
>crash
>haunted and paranormal sightings is common in this area

Not OP but would like to contribute.
The Pochong.
An embaled and wrapped body of a deceased. It can only hop around because its bound at it's limbs but able to leap great distances.
Col(u)ombifag here.
LaPatasola (literally translated as "one foot") is a monster that appears in the form of a woman who lures men deep into the jungle. There, it reveals her true appearance as a one-legged creature hungry for both, flesh and blood, then proceeds to devours the horny bastard that followed her.
Pic related.... I would smash.
>>18925036
El Patetarro (translated as leg-bucket?) is a creature that spreads pests and bad omens, it can be found in the country side near farms or rivers, it destroys crops and trows the liquid that comes from his leg into the water turning it in poison.

Before i ever even saw this video my gf claimed to see a creature exactly like this on her street every morning before sunrise on the way to work. Multiple, even. Walkin a long the side of the road standing on/climbing fences. I thought it was weird.
Then one night after work i walked to her place, on her street. Something exactly like this flew in front of me and jetted across the street.
>wtf!?.jpg
I saw it in full vision.
Weeks later she found this video and said "thats it!!! Thats the thing!!!"
Sure enough its what i saw too..
I dunno man.
>>18929135
Oh sorry.
>toronto area, canada
>>18921445
I was thinking the same thing. "Aht" - a floating female head and intestines. One difference is that Aht smells horrible.
>>18929135
>"thats it!!! Thats the thing!!!"
on a video of something being debunked as made up
>>18929153
Obviously she didnt show me the debunking video.
I posted that one on purpose to keep an air of critical thinking.
Still, she described that very creature, then i saw it, then video.
Are we here to share spoopy stories or not? All in good fun, no?
>>18921207
>kuntilanak
Sounds aptly named from an English speaking perspective.
>>18925100
Maria la larga (long Mary?).
A monster that appears in the mornings as a beautiful, curvy and young woman. It targets either, wasted men that had too much to drink or horny mofos.
It lures them with kisses and and sweet words into the nearest graveyard (not suspicious at all) where her face morphs into a skull and her body grows 50 meters, then it proceeds to hang it's victim on a tree or a roof.
>>18923662
Texan here. Apparently there is a Lake Worth Goat man that my stepdad says exists. I wouldn't know, but we might as well have some spoops. We were home to the KKK here in Fort worth, a fuck huge amount of them, but i've never been spooped irl
>>18923662
witches dude. my family has a few stories about those. like that old lady who lives next my grandma. all the people who knew her had weird stories about her. nobody is sure how old is she by example. one of the neighbors says she was an old lady when she moved there, about 40 something years ago. and she has been married a couple times. both men died. both due health complications that come with age.
a few people from the town my dad included swear they have seen her as a huge rat.
she also does more of her stuff at night. included climbing a huge tree you could see from my house to pick nuts.
