Скачать или смотреть Philippines folktales - Kapre - ANIMATION MYSTERIOUS CREATURE ON A BALETE TREE

"The Kapre is a mythical creature found in Philippine folklore. It is described as a giant that lives in hiding among humans and is known to reside in large trees such as mango, acacia, and the balete tree. The Kapre is believed to be nocturnal, with extremely dark skin, bright red eyes, and long, rough hair. It is also said to smoke an endlessly burning tobacco cigar. In some stories, the Kapre has the ability to make people invisible and possesses a magical white stone that grants the owner the ability to have their wishes fulfilled. The word "Kapre" is thought to have been derived from the Arabic term "kafir," meaning "non-believer in Islam," and may have been introduced by Spanish colonizers who sought to keep Filipinos from associating with the American slaves they brought with them to the Philippines. The Kapre bears some similarities to the Bigfoot legends of America and the Yeti legends of Middle Asia."
