There is an urban legend that one of the prominent families who own a mall in Cebu, was once cursed by a witch. The wife of the family then gave birth to twins. One was a beautiful girl and the other a giant snake. To their shame, they hid the giant snake in a secret basement in one of their malls. The little girl grew up beautiful and normal but the snake just became larger and larger. Seeking the companionship of his sister and revenge for his family's neglect, the snake learned to steal women from the mall's elevators or dressing rooms every few years. The women are never seen again. This work is part of the Folktale and Folkore series.
