Filipino myths

Busaw is a legendary creature that resembles humans in appearance and behavior, raising farm
animals and planting root crops. However, its favorite food is humans, resulting in scattered human
skeletons on the grounds of its dwelling place.[citation needed]
The Busaw was a ghoul and corpse thief. An evil spirit who looked and behaved like ordinary human
beings by day, it listened for sounds of death in the evenings, and dwelled in large trees near
cemeteries. It had pointed teeth, hooked nails and a long tongue. It took banana tree trunks to
replace the dead as it stole the corpses out of their coffins. Then, spiriting the corpse off after first
turning it into a pig, the Busaw would feast on it and even try to feed it to their human neighbors
during the day in order to turn them into ghouls like itself. To ward the Busaw off, all corpses should
be washed completely with vinegar and strong-smelling herbs. Salt is also a Busawrepellent.[1]
