One of the reasons I made this topic this way is first of self belive  which is at the moment zero ........of corse is zero because I never was spending time in fores alone ........yes with my dog manny times day and night  but I never really felt any thing then being scared form dark .......I am going to add ones known to manny THunters I guess  starting with tree legend called :

                                                                   THE GIANT KAPRE
Kapres are said to dwell in big trees like acacias, mangoes, bamboo, and banyan (known in the Philippines as balete) and JIA love to buried they are treasure under such trees . It is also mostly seen sitting under those trees or on the top .Some seyed therey arent wearing any clothes but their body is covered by their thick curly hair .The Kapre is said too to  wear the indigenous Northern Philippine loincloth known as bahag, and according to some, often wears a belt which gives the kapre the ability to be invisible to humans.They mostly live alone and are male .Their paranormal activity is fearsome where they are able to controle his target not alowing it to escape .In some versions, the kapre is supposed to hold a magical white stone, a little smaller in size than a quail egg. Should any person happen to obtain this stone, the kapre can grant wishes.
They are not necessarily considered to be evil. However, they may turn vengeful when the tree that they are inhabiting is cut down.They live in balete tree ,and sims they love to dwell much on it so they want leave no matter how much we offer them .
============================================================================
A Kapre may make contact with people to offer friendship, or if it is attracted to a woman. If a Kapre befriends a human, especially because of love, the Kapre will consistently follow its "love interest" throughout life. Also, if one is a friend of the Kapre, then that person will have the ability to see it and if they were to sit on it then any other person would be able to see the huge entity.
============================================================================
Kapres, also called agtà, are said to play pranks on people,frequently making travelers become disoriented and lose their way in the mountains or in the woods.
They are also believed to have the ability to confuse people even in their own familiar surroundings;
for instance, someone who forgets that they are in their own garden or home is said to have been tricked by a Kapre.
============================================================================
Reports of experiencing Kapre enchantment include that of witnessing rustling tree branches, even if the wind is not strong. Some more examples would be hearing loud laughter coming from an unseen being, witnessing much smoke from the top of a tree, seeing big red glaring eyes during night time from a tree, as well as actually seeing a Kapre walking in forested areas. It is also believed that abundant fireflies in woody areas are the embers from the Kapre's lit cigars or tobacco pipe.
Few more of creature that dwell in Balete tree are : TikBalang ,Diwata and Fairles .

If you have any incounter with this creature please let us know with a quote ........cheers

                                                                   DUWENDE

Far less frightening (but much more mischievous) than the manananggal is the duwende. In Filipino culture, these creatures are described as goblins, elves or dwarves - short of stature and often old or shriveled, with beards and hats of varying colors. The name duwende comes from the Spanish duende for “owner of the house,” but are also sometimes called nuno sa punso (Tagalog for “old man of the mound”). In more modern times, they are said to reside in homes or mounds in forests or places with many trees.
============================================================================
Whether they use their powers for good or mischief depends on how they are treated by the humans who dwell near them. The people say Tabi-Tabi Po Nuno which means “Pardon me, little people,” in order to prevent their wrath. Duwende have evolved into a less frightening incarnation over many years, but there are old tales of duwende who would steal children and eat their bowels, which places them firmly on the fearsome list.They love to build they are dwelling place above the treasure.Many times they will revile the exact spot where treasure is buried to well deserving person so be nice to them .

[ZOBEX]

Only once have I ever come onto Duwende.  It was 4 years ago, a known and proven treasure bunker on a hilltop, it is still there not touched or dug and there is a very old tree only some 30 feet from the top.  It had Duwende living in the tree or actually around the base of the tree.  You have to have a special knack or ability to see them.  They were more afraid I was going to cut the tree but I told them, no, I am only looking for what was buried in the hill by the Japanese so they were not alarmed.  When I came again I brought them some candy and other treats.  Naturally they did not set there and chomp on them like a child would because they are in another dimension.  When seen, at best they look like semi transparent ghosts.  Little people in odd looking clothing.  The third time I came I did not see them but their tree was safe so I guess they were not concerned about me, so I did not see them.  Weird, after all these years and stories, here they were.  First and last time I have seen a group of Duwende.

                                                                WHITE   LADY
In the Philippines, it is indigenously known as Kaperosa—a faceless phantom of a woman (usually in white), which is one of the more popular creatures in Filipino folklore today. The English name for this ghost is commonly used instead of the local one because its popularity reached its peak during the American Occupation in the Philippines after the Second World War, which is why we rarely see her depicted in traditional Filipiniana dress.
============================================================================
Although the Woman in White is an international phenomenon with varying titles, tales, and descriptions, common to many of these legends is an accidental death, murder, or suicide, and the theme of loss, betrayal, and unrequited love.

She shows herself to ask for help and sometimes for revenge to complete any unfinished business. She's cursed to become a restless soul and roam this earth until she can achieve justice for her death. Other White Ladies are said to be searching for their lost children or deceased husbands and lovers.

The stories of who she is and how she came to be—vary slightly, as do the accounts of her sightings. From as simple as vapory mists shaped like translucent human figures, to the more solid and life-like forms.
Treasure Hunters treat them differently White Lady gost tends to show the location of a hidden Yamashita Treasure but in exchange of somethink that they want .In most of the cases it is somthing that will put them at peace .

Dressed in a long white gown, she mostly haunts rural areas, creepy dark streets, deserted old houses (also castles in foreign versions), school buildings, and other establishments.

The legend says that White Ladies are the ghosts of someone whose been killed in the place where she appears and a favorite ghost story topic especially during Halloween or All Souls Day season. But some say a White Lady haunting in your own home (whether that's rented or inherited) is believed to be the ghost of the previous occupant who cannot let go of the property.
============================================================================
What they make them creapy is they can float  and just instantly appear behinde your back reviling their face good enough to give you a heart attack 
Although the Woman in White is an international phenomenon with varying titles, tales, and descriptions, common to many of these legends is an accidental death, murder, or suicide, and the theme of loss, betrayal, and unrequited love.
Few more types of white lady are :
-White Lady of Balete Drive in Quezon City.
-The Lady of Loakan / Baguio City

                                                              ENKANTO or DIWATA
They are very powerfuul entitie......which  protect the forest or mountain from intruders .
Engkanto have many similarities to humans in that they age, appear to have male and female sexes, can suffer from illness and indeed even die. They are known by locals as physiclly attractive that any one would easily  fall for  they  are looks .
They have different appearances.
Some appear to be beautiful having blue eyes, fair complexion and golden hair.They may however have unusual features such as high-bridged noses, fair skin, blond hair and lack of philtrum.
They have a wide range of appearances but one common fact of a different feeling or vibe than humans.
Other variants exhibit sexual dimorphism such as Bagobo spirits which are separated into the female tahamaling and the male mahomanay. The female spirit is alleged to have red complexion while the male have a fair complexion.
Their dwellings will normally appear as natural features, for example large rocks or trees, or shadows in human form; although to humans they have befriended they can appear as magnificent palaces.
These creatures prefer large trees and nature such as the balete in which they also place their belongings.An engkanto may choose to stay by a human's side as told by stories where characters are usually in either a sense of trance or a deep loss of energy. Engkanto may be good or bad.Manny treasure hunters encontered Diwata and then thinks happens  such one of crew member wiil be  saddernly missing for several mounts.
============================================================================
Engkanto are most commonly known for either extreme malignant effects, or an overwhelming influence of luck. Those the Engkanto do not favor had become depressed, suffered from madness, or even disappeared for days or months, possibly as a result of the human possession. They are also said to be capable of causing fevers and skin diseases such as boils. These spirits also sometimes lead travelers astray in the forest, even kidnap them. This, however, is said to be avoidable by bringing an "Anting-anting" or "Agimat" a piece of magical charm or amulet that wards away evil spirits and prevents them from harming the wielder. However, if they do favor someone they are generous and capable of bringing power and riches to that person. Shaman often try to commune with Engkanto on holy days to obtain better healing powers from them, as well as learning how to better deal with evil spirits.
============================================================================
ANTING =ANTING - aKa  Agimat An amulet, also known as a good luck charm, is an object believed to confer protection upon its possessor. Anything can function as an amulet; items commonly so used include gems, statues, coins, drawings, plant parts, animal parts, and written words. Amulets refer to any object which holds an apotropaic function. An amulet is an object that is generally worn for protection and made from a durable material (metal or hard-stone). Amulets can be applied to paper examples as well; however, the word 'talisman' is typically used to describe these.[2] Amulets are sometimes confused with pendants, small aesthetic objects that hang from necklaces. Any given pendant may indeed be an amulet but so may any other object that purportedly protects its holder from danger.

                                                                      PASATSAT
                               These are the ghosts of people who died during the Second World War
                       Due to a scarcity of coffins at the time, families would often wrap their dead in reed mats.
                           It was also common to bury the dead in secrecy, outside of consecrated cemeteries.
                   This was due to the threat of grave robbery at a time when many desperate people were starving.
                                 This left the souls of the departed trapped in some sort of limbo state.
                                    They are said to appear on solitary paths to block lone travellers.
                               To be rid of these spectres, one needs to stab at the reed mat and unravel it.
