Attacked by an Invisible Monster with Fangs

The teenaged girl writhed on the floor of the Manila, Philippines, jail cell and moaned as if she were in terrible pain. Suddenly, she sat upright, her eyes wide, her arms flailing at an invisible foe. Here he comes again! she screamed. The monster has come again to bite me! The police officer who had been posted to observe 18-year-old Clarita Villanueva shook his head sadly at the distraught young woman’s hysterical screams. He did not believe her wild tale of some bug-eyed monster with a black cape that flew around trying to chew her up.

When the police had found Clarita, she had been walking about on the streets of Manila, sobbing for someone to protect her from a monster. Her strange behavior had attracted a small crowd of observers from a nearby tavern, who had stood by cheering her on as she struggled with her invisible attacker. She had been taken into custody under the suspicion of being either a drug addict or an alcoholic. It was a warm, sultry night in May 1951, just the kind of night that the police knew would bring out all of the city’s undesirables. This girl was obviously one of them, the officer at the scene thought to himself.
