Batibat
Mari recounts the time she and her Nanay (mom) were called by a rich family to exorcise a spirit called a batibat - a spirit of trees that have been cut down, which, in revenge for losing its home, kills people in their sleep.
But nothing is what it seems, even in a house full of wood and nightmares.

Remind Me To Tell You Later: Batibat is about a terrifying creature that causes the REAL LIFE condition called “bangungot” - A Filipino word meaning nightmare, that also refers to “Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome”, wherein adolescents and adults die suddenly in their sleep.
The batibat is a creature that is identified as a vengeful tree spirit from felled trees, and syncretised with the bangungot, seen as a great creature that sits on your chest, killing you in your sleep.
