The police of the Philippine city of Talisei are trying to dispel the concern of residents of the city where the appearance of the mythical demon Manananggal occurred. According to eyewitnesses, the creature had wings and could separate from the body, which is a characteristic feature of this mythical beast.

Two girls on their way home came across a monster. For obvious reasons, the Filipino women were shocked by this encounter and reported it to the police. Rumors of the surveillance spread quickly, and soon the whole city was talking about Manananggal. A few days after the first discovery, there were reports of another creature spotted in a nearby town.

The creature was described as a monster with a human body, but a pig's head and bat wings. Within a few days, numerous rumors began to appear in the city, and the local authorities could not simply ignore them. The case of the demonic invader began to be taken very seriously.

Manananggal is a mythological creature from Philippine folklore. She is usually described as a female monster or witch who can separate the upper body from the lower and grow wings that allow her to fly at night in search of prey, usually pregnant women and their unborn children.

Myths suggest that the lower half of Manananggal is vulnerable at this time and the only way to deal with this creature is to sprinkle it with salt or ashes. It is also said that this creature has an aversion to garlic and is sensitive to sunlight. The legend of Manananggal has been the subject of many Filipino horror films and continues to be a popular part of Filipino culture. Manananggaly is a kind of aswang, which means an evil spirit, although according to Western nomenclature it looks more like a classic vampire.

To reassure residents, the authorities held a press conference on this issue. They promised to investigate the reports and urged residents to report any unusual sightings or incidents to the police. They also advised communities to refrain from spreading rumors and rumors about Manananggal, as they may cause unnecessary panic and fear.

The local authorities assured residents that they are taking this issue seriously and are doing everything possible to ensure the safety of the community. Many in Talisai are still afraid of meeting this creature.
