SEA of Shadows explores the ghosts, spirits, monsters and supernatural folklore of Southeast Asia.

Discover the stories and cultural context behind the Pontianak, Kuntilanak, Penanggalan, Krasue, Aswang, Manananggal, Pocong, Toyol, Tuyul, Orang Minyak, Hantu Raya and other legendary creatures from Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore and across the region.

Every Short delivers one named creature, one unforgettable rule and the history behind the fear. Weekend documentaries explore selected legends in greater depth through atmospheric storytelling, expressive narration and eerie original illustrations.

Folklore is presented respectfully as cultural tradition—not verified supernatural fact. Visuals may include AI-assisted artistic reconstructions and are kept atmospheric and non-graphic.
