Banal: Overtures of Reality and the Supernatural

Tales of haunted houses and ghosts abound as materials for books and films. But seldom do we encounter tales that are sourced from what exist as elements of nature. From the newspapers to the internet, there have been various articles that talk about strange experiences when one goes mountaineering. In the Philippines alone, there are certain mountains that are revered as sacred by mystics and healers while some are feared as cursed and should never be visited.
