Josh Clark

Yeah.

I mean, there was a guy that wrote a book about this in addition to Lansdale wrote his own memoir.

But there's a researcher.

I think his last name was Clark.

Oh, OK.

Well, he basically backed up what you're saying is like if they would have done their research, they would have believed that the true local creature they were scared of.

was not Aswang.

It was a self-segmenting kind of Aswang, but it kind of strictly fed on the fetuses of pregnant women and was not a bloodsucker.

And he's also not sure that, like...

This thing worked, but he's not sure if it worked because they thought it was an Aswang or whatever the local, I can't even, how do you pronounce that?

Mananangal?

Yeah, I think so.

Was the local boogeyman?

If it worked because they thought it was that or if it was because they were like, holy crap, they're so twisted.

They're sucking the blood out of and draining blood out of people to make it seem like.

So like either way, don't mess with these guys.

It's awful.

Does that mean short stuff is out?

All right.

Hey, and welcome to the podcast.
