!! This series contains examples of:

* AllMythsAreTrue: The stories detail alleged encounters with a wide variety of Filipino folkloric beings, including ''aswangs''[[note]]people said to be able to transform into animals and feed on humans, especially unborn babies[[/note]] and ''albularyos''[[note]]witch doctors[[/note]].
* AmbiguousGender: Due to the gender-neutral nature of Tagalog, the gender of several characters isn't exactly known. Unless their gender is clear, this page and related ones will refer to them with they/them pronouns.
* AnachronicOrder: Each story is set in a different point in history, from many years ago to just weeks before an episode airs.
* AuthorTract: Some stories end with a message about the Christian faith. {{Justified}} in that the Philippines is mostly Catholic.[[note]]Christianity is so widespread that Christian messages are common even in schools and public TV, but people rarely object to these[[/note]]
* BigHam: Sir Jupiter can get quite dramatic when reading certain quotes.
* DramaticWind: Sometimes happens whenever supernatural events occur.
* {{Exposition}}: Some concepts are defined in-story. While written as if they are the characters' explanations, they sound like they were taken from online sources, translated, and injected into the story.
* GratuitousEnglish: Given that in RealLife Filipinos don't usually speak straight Filipino/Tagalog, this is bound to happen.
* OfficialFanSubmittedContent: All the stories are sent by viewers, and the introductions to several of them show that many senders are fans of the channel.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Several senders choose to refer to themselves by their nicknames.
* QuoteMine: The OpeningNarration of the audio plays weave together lines from different parts of the stories.
* StockSoundEffects: Accompanies many of the stories, narrations and [[AudioPlay audio plays]] alike.
* UnexplainedAccent: Sir Wilmor appears to have a Batangas accent.
* YouAllLookFamiliar: Or rather, "You All ''Sound'' Familiar". The same few voice actors can be heard playing different roles across different episodes.
