Horror Stories from Leyte
Leyte's entry in this archive is not a folklore page. It is a page about what a place tells itself after a disaster it could not count the dead from.
What we cover here
Taong Basa ng Tacloban — the legend of the wet people, which formed along the coast road and the surge-hit barangays after Super Typhoon Yolanda made landfall on 8 November 2013.
The typhoon and its death toll are documented history. The figures said to walk the coast road afterwards are legend, and the page keeps those two things clearly apart.
