Villagers at a southern Philippine town on Thursday reported seeing two mysterious flying creatures roaming their community, barely days after the dismembered remains of three goats were discovered there.

Residents in Barangay (village) Manongol in Kidapawan City have been agitated since Sunday with the discovery of three dead goats with their hearts, lungs and other internal organs eaten.

Initially, some villagers suspected stray dogs may have been responsible for killing the goats, while some superstitious villagers think that an "aswang," or ghoul in Philippine mythology, was responsible.

On Tuesday night, a resident in the village roused the neighborhood after claiming she heard some flapping sounds above her roof. She described seeing two gigantic birdlike creatures flying overheard.

The crowd also noticed that the leaves of a nearby tree was shaking although it was a windless night. Then a liquid poured from the tree.
