00:00 I wonder how did the mysterious power of a Ed Caluag started?
00:08 In a black town where it is believed that any disease can be cured by a traditional medicine.
00:29 Ed grew up with a disease called polio.
00:32 At that time, I was just at home. I was just lying down because I couldn't get up.
00:42 First, there were doctors, different doctors, different medicines.
00:48 I was nine years old when I recovered.
00:51 Because of the disease, his world shrank.
00:56 This is where he started to see elements that are not easily visible to the eyes.
01:03 Hey, come back here. Let's play here. Come back here.
01:17 Who are you talking about? I can't see anything.
01:21 Can't you see?
01:24 Let's play. Go away.
01:26 And sometimes, he needed to be bitten by a rat.
01:39 If he was bitten by a rat,
01:51 He's like a big human being, but he's black, like a bird, you don't know if it's sticky.
01:57 He's big, and when he looks at you, you're so small.
02:03 And he's on a tree.
02:05 But his bird was more alert when he not only sees human figures, but also his animals.
02:18 [Dog growling]
02:24 Liz!
02:25 Liz!
02:32 Get out of here.
02:34 What he discovered was that the dog was running like a rabbit.
02:43 There was a banana tree, he passed through the banana tree, he didn't go out to the other side.
02:49 My grandmother said that it was a dog.
02:52 A well-known pharmacist in their area, Mang Serapio, made a medicine.
03:00 It's the root of a tree's root that is scratched on their body every Friday.
03:06 It's effective in preventing bad elements.
03:12 [Children screaming]
03:16 The whole childhood, Ed thought that the unexplained experiences would bring good luck to their place.
03:25 But what he didn't know was that his experience wouldn't end in the well.
03:36 The bad element is that it's like it's following them even when they move to the flower bed.
03:43 Because the polio got worse, Ed rarely goes out to play.
03:56 But he's not sad.
03:58 He's visited by a child player every day.
04:04 Hey, let's play. I have a helicopter, I have a soldier, I have a gun.
04:10 But the mysterious child, he's the only one who can see.
04:15 Let's play.
04:17 Hey!
04:19 Ed, let's go home. You're making me look bad. You're so young.
04:25 Mom, can I play with the player?
04:28 Player? Who?
04:32 Who?
04:34 There's no one.
04:38 Let's go.
04:40 There's no one.
04:42 Where? I can't see anyone.
04:44 You're so young. You're just playing with it. Let's go.
04:48 You look so bad.
04:50 [Child laughing]
04:58 [Child laughing]
05:00 Because of the bad experiences, Ed went to places where he can see and feel.
05:12 But even if he tries to avoid his fate, he won't give up.
05:18 Hey, Ed, let's go. We have a lot of homework.
05:24 You can do it. I'm still hungry.
05:27 Let's go. You're just scared.
05:29 I'm not scared.
05:31 Let's go. There's no ghost there. You're just believing in what they're saying.
05:35 You know what? Ed is not good for you.
05:37 Edduad is better for you.
05:40 [Children laughing]
05:42 That's perfect for me. Let's go.
05:45 [Children laughing]
05:47 Edduad!
05:49 When I was in high school, I had a consistent dream.
05:55 It's always the same. Within a week, it will pass.
05:58 I can't dream about it. It's always the same scenario.
06:02 I saw my father. He died in my hands.
06:08 Who died?
06:13 My husband.
06:15 Dad!
06:17 Why are they here?
06:19 Ed, wake up.
06:21 Who died?
06:24 Mom!
06:25 Son, you're dreaming.
06:28 Someone died.
06:30 But it wasn't me.
06:32 I can't see what he looks like because he's blurry.
06:36 Don't think too much. Let's go. Let's get ready.
06:40 Let's go.
06:42 Don't think. It's just a dream, son.
06:45 Okay.
06:47 Get ready.
06:48 Get ready.
06:49 Who died?
06:58 My husband.
07:00 Dad!
07:02 Why are they here?
07:03 But the mystery is, his bad dream seems to be coming true.
07:10 My husband, wake up!
07:13 Dad!
07:17 Dad!
07:18 Dad!
07:20 Wake up!
07:22 Dad!
07:24 Dad!
07:26 My husband, wake up!
07:29 Until the dreams became reality.
07:33 It seems that Ed's ability has shown what's going to happen in the future.
07:39 Brother, let's go to school first.
07:42 School? It's Saturday. We're going there.
07:45 I forgot to bring something. Come with me.
07:47 I don't have anything. I just have a sandal.
07:49 That's okay. Come with me.
07:51 Let's go.
07:59 Brother, your bag is here.
08:01 Tol!
08:10 What?
08:11 Let's go down. Let's ride in another jeep.
08:13 What's happening to you?
08:14 We're just going to ride in another jeep. I forgot something.
08:17 Bro, let's go.
08:18 Ed's jeep that was avoided was hit by a car.
08:25 In Ed's study and discovery of his abilities, he also learned how to cure different diseases.
08:36 Hello.
08:39 Flor, what happened?
08:42 I saw Mark. He's been sick for three days.
08:44 Is Ed not taking his medicine?
08:46 Let's go inside.
08:48 Ed, come here.
08:50 Mom, what happened?
08:54 Ed, your cousin played with the kid.
08:58 I think he played with him.
09:00 I'll ask Mark to come here. Ed, are you okay?
09:03 I'm okay. I'll just prepare my things.
09:07 I'll just prepare my things.
09:08 Chang, the twins played with him.
09:34 Okay, Coran. We need to go to that place. We're going to get angry.
09:40 I've been telling you, why did they play with the kid?
09:44 As long as it's a mystery and a mystery, Ed became a fugitive.
09:56 Not only alive, but also dead.
10:02 Hey, did you report the riot?
10:04 Yes, I did. Do you know, it's so sad because my friend was also there.
10:09 What?
10:11 He was stabbed.
10:12 The problem is, the investigators don't know what really happened.
10:16 Help me.
10:31 The people who chased us,
10:32 it happened so fast.
10:37 I saw my own blood.
10:49 The culprit who made Ed feel guilty, is the victim of the riot.
10:56 [dramatic music]
10:57 Best, are you okay?
11:01 I'm okay. Let's go. Let's help him.
11:05 Maybe he won't let me rest. Come with me.
11:23 [music]
11:24 I'm sorry, I'm just a friend. I'm your son's friend.
11:27 I can see ghosts and other things and elements.
11:33 And your son is asking for help from me.
11:37 Is he okay here?
11:39 Yes, your son told me not to worry. He's okay.
11:47 He's saying, thank you for taking care of him, for loving him.
11:54 Even though you gave him a yellow shirt that he always laughs on.
12:00 He said that it's his favorite.
12:03 My son.
12:05 Okay class, dismissed. Take care.
12:11 [dramatic music]
12:12 Oh, fairness, that kid came in early. He's earlier than me.
12:28 Jem, don't be like that. Who are you talking about?
12:36 I'm just alone here.
12:38 [dramatic music]
12:39 It is said that the unforgettable memories of a ghost,
12:49 are what his soul brings back.
12:52 People are afraid when they go to a place and see something.
12:56 What they don't know is that it's just a memory.
12:59 It's just a memory. It's not capable of hurting.
13:03 It's not capable of talking to you.
13:07 Because it's just empty.
13:08 Otherwise, when it interacts with a person,
13:14 there are other entities that handle it.
13:18 The student who died, came in early when he was still alive.
13:24 And where else does he go? If not to the library.
13:29 When Edna decided to stop teaching,
13:35 she believed that she couldn't avoid her fate.
13:39 She was the one who taught and taught the different abilities.
13:44 When Edna discovered the power and the controversies thrown at her,
13:52 how does she face them?
13:54 You can say that it's like a gift to you or a curse.
13:59 [explosion]
14:04 [music]
14:05 Since Edna discovered the different abilities,
14:18 she didn't let her knowledge be destroyed.
14:22 In fact, after a few years,
14:25 Edna became a host of TV shows when it comes to horror.
14:32 She became a paranormal investigator.
14:35 [music]
14:37 I'm telling you the truth.
14:39 Hold this. Hold it.
14:41 When you said that you have that kind of power,
14:46 to your friends, to those who know you,
14:50 what was their reaction?
14:52 At first, they didn't believe me.
14:54 They were just surprised when they saw me on TV.
14:59 I didn't really spread it.
15:03 I just did it myself.
15:05 I didn't want them to look at me differently.
15:08 [music]
15:10 Water.
15:13 They didn't see it.
15:17 They didn't experience it.
15:19 [music]
15:21 She came from here and ran there.
15:25 What can you say is the best thing that you've learned in life?
15:29 These abilities.
15:31 That's what helps me.
15:33 Because I've solved a lot of cases.
15:37 I've helped a lot of people.
15:40 I know that I've helped a lot of people.
15:45 In your family, is it just you?
15:47 Yes.
15:49 In your siblings?
15:51 Yes.
15:54 You have a family, a son, a grandson.
15:56 Do you want them to have that kind of power?
15:58 I just hope that they don't have it.
16:00 Why?
16:02 Because they might not be able to.
16:04 This is the one.
16:06 This is the one who's going to be attacked.
16:08 [music]
16:10 [shouting]
16:12 Because now, when that happened,
16:15 the child might be different.
16:18 The way they receive is different.
16:20 [music]
16:22 [music]
16:23 [music]
16:25 [music]
16:27 But because Ed has been in the world of paranormal for a long time,
16:31 [thud]
16:33 he didn't think that he would reach the door
16:37 in the hands of a demon.
16:39 [demon laughing]
16:41 Mila?
16:44 You didn't think?
16:46 Why didn't you think?
16:48 Mila, I'm here to help you.
16:51 [music]
16:52 [music]
16:54 [music]
16:56 [music]
16:58 Mila, I didn't come here to fight.
17:02 [music]
17:04 Let me go!
17:06 Let me go!
17:08 Hold her tight.
17:10 Hold her tight.
17:12 You think you can do it?
17:14 You think you can do it?
17:16 You think you can do it?
17:18 [music]
17:20 [music]
17:21 [music]
17:23 Element of darkness,
17:25 get away from this woman's body.
17:27 You think you can do it?
17:29 You think you can do it?
17:31 [music]
17:33 Get away from this woman's body.
17:35 [music]
17:37 Element of darkness,
17:39 [thud]
17:41 get away from this woman's body.
17:44 [music]
17:47 That was the heaviest experience I've ever had.
17:50 Because it was a different level.
17:52 I almost gave up that time.
17:55 [music]
17:57 But instead of feeling weak inside,
17:59 Ed's desire to help was growing.
18:01 Can you say that it was a gift to you or a curse?
18:06 [sigh]
18:08 For now, I acknowledge it as a gift.
18:11 Gift, yes.
18:13 Because for others, it can be said as a curse.
18:16 If you don't accept it.
18:17 I didn't come here to fight with you.
18:19 I came here to talk to you.
18:21 [music]
18:23 If you don't embrace her,
18:25 it will be a curse.
18:27 Because it's hard to sleep.
18:29 There are times when I sleep,
18:31 when I open my eyes, there's someone like that on my face.
18:33 [music]
18:35 Or there's someone beside me.
18:37 When you wake up?
18:39 Yes.
18:41 That happens.
18:44 If you don't embrace her,
18:45 if you don't embrace knowledge,
18:48 it will be a curse for you.
18:51 Because they won't stop you.
18:53 [music]
18:55 [glass breaking]
18:57 [sigh]
18:59 Can you say that it's hard or fun being an Ed Caluag?
19:03 It's hard in a way because not everyone understands you.
19:08 More people bash you.
19:11 It's fun because you can help.
19:15 So let's balance it.
19:18 If I'm chosen, I still want to be myself.
19:23 Can you move me?
19:25 Whatever I'm feeling right now,
19:27 make me feel it.
19:29 It's so strong.
19:31 My shirt is torn.
19:33 A mysterious person is full of mysteries.
19:38 The unique abilities that Ed Caluag has,
19:41 even if it's not fully explained,
19:44 it's important that it's used well.
19:47 Because this ability has a connection to responsibility.
19:52 [music]
19:55 [music]
19:57 [music]
19:59 [music]
20:00 [music]

20:06 [music]

20:12 [music]
20:14 you
