Do you believe in the Engkanto?

I would not have believed it myself but I guess I just caught one of them thru the lens of my camera.

Engkanto

Photos were taken during our week-end trip to Mt. Siniloan in Famy. This one was from Batya-batya Falls just a few hundred meters from Buruwisan where we camped.

Engkanto

I zoomed in on the photo and noticed that it had an uncanny resemblance to a very small human with some sort of wings fluttering from its back, though it brightly shined as if it had a white silhouette.

Here’s the gallery of pictures I took during the trip.

      I don’t believe in engkanto. The thing on the picture is I think somethin that glitters. Or maybe the other part of the falls. :)

      I myself was a bit shocked when I saw this. We didn’t notice anything at that time. It was actually raining and the falls was covered with huge trees and the rocky mountains on both sides so it’s almost impossible that it was a reflection from the sun. Likewise, I did not turn my camera’s flash since this is a wide shot. As far as I can remember, there are no other sources of light around there nor any other person taking pictures.

      Yuga, its nice of you to write an entry about Famy. I have been to Famy quite a number of times while I was still in UP and I have not thought about camping for awhile now. Its nice to see that it probably has not changed alot, but I heard that there are people selling ice and softdrinks close to camp?!? Can you please tell me more about the changes?

      Hi sepikmom!

      I went there last year as well and quite a bit has changed since then. There are around 4 or 5 stations where small cottages are built for trekkers to rest esp. if it rains. Some of the stations have stands for food or drinks ranging from softdrinks to iced water to fresh buko.

      The camp site is full as always but the villagers who lived there were helpful in cooking the canned foods that we brought (for a low service fee). There were some campers too that brought ropes and gears with them for rapelling on Sunday mornings. That part was fun!

      During our stay, there were a platoon of boy scouts running around for their orienteering.

      All the rest looks the same to me. :)

      I’m re posting some of my previous comments since I had to restore back my site from an old backup. My DB got screwed up.

      engkanto

      Magnified to 600%. Image height is about 2.5 - 3 ft. based on the ratio of sizes of the people in the picture.

      I used a Canon Digital Ixus 30 on normal mode. T’was about 3 or 4PM and was raining a bit.

      Hmm honestly my personal view base sa nakita on the net it looks real… but we all knows image can be change or doctored artistically once scanned for website… sayang you are using digital cam that time…
      Alam mo kung gumamit ka lang ng normal camera with 135photofilm then we can ask the experts to examine the negatives. Then you can claim na totoo talaga ito.

      thynks.

      Alam nyo, kung sino man ang hindi naniniwala sa engkanto, specially yang si mr nice ash, gusto ko lang ipabatid na totoo ang mga engkanto at engkantada at hindi lang kathang isip. It just happened that hindi lahat ay mapalad na nakakita o nakaencounter ng engkanto at meron naman na lapitin ng mga engkanto at isa ako sa mga yun. Akala ko noon fantasy lang sila pero last year 2006 November ay nagimbal ako dahil madaling araw sa kalagitnaan ng akin pagtulog may tumatawag sa akin sa labas ng bintana pagkatapos ng mga alulong ng mga aso namin. Sunud-sunod ang kanilang pagdalaw sa akin hanggang sa ngayon, marami sila at lahat magaganda at gwapo; mestizo at mestiza at hindi sila nakakatakot bagkos, pag nakita mo sila mabibighani ka talaga. Nakikipagkaibigan ang mga engkanto sa’kin, nakatira sila sa farm ng lola ko kung saan kami nakatira sa ngayon…..

      add nyo me sa friendster nyo kac naniniwala me sa engkanto

      Well, totoo naman talaga ang mga engkanto. When I was three years old nakakita ako ng isang bata na kasing edad ko na kulay BROWN at mabuhok, parang monkey sa tingin ko at naka-smile sa akin pagitan ng kulambo. Until now napapasok parin sa isip ko yong nakita ko…Sabi ng lola ko engkanto daw yon na nakatira sa bahay namin. Hindi talaga ako naniniwala sa ganung bagay until my cousin told me that she saw’s the same creature mismo sa bahay nila. At this point, malaking tao raw at nakaupo sa sofa ng sala. Color Brown rin at mukhang monkey rin ang image…pero tao talaga raw. Biglang nag-ring ang phone tumakbo raw sa malaking puno ng SAMPALOK na katabi ng bahay nila. UNTIL NOW NAIISIP KO PARIN YONG CREATURE NA YON! MAYBE ITS PART OF MY IMAGINATION…PAPANO NAMAN YONG NAKITA RIN NG PINSAN KO?

      Yo ! average persons do not believe such kind of beings , its either they are not informed or they are not intuned to their dimension, i can make such kind of picture in MS Paint or adobe but the thing is this pic is real and that thing exist…on this pic the “shape-shifter” is disturbed thats why the thing purposely showed up, if nobody got sick on these guys after this pic it means the thing admired to someone and becomes playful…if you are a religious fanatic you may think this is some kind of apparition…

      open up your minds…

      “what you see is what you believe” sabi nga nila…….

      i would believe it myself if i have seen one. but for this case, siguro nga totoo. but i do believe there are engkantos or dwendes… i was about 5 years old when i heard someone calling my name… it was a girl’s voice and her voice was so tiny.. hehe it’s like she wants to play with me. but i couldn’t find her… i looked everywhere but i never found the girl with a really tiny voice.
