From the oral account of a local police named Zaldy Castro of Western Panay.
We were informed that the previous night a powerful blast occurred in the middle of rice field where a high voltage power line was traversing. Upon search in the said area we found out a burnt body an old woman.
The corpse can still be recognized but her body was deformed as if the electricity had burnt the other half of it for it has no legs at all. As a local resident I immediately suspected that the woman was a flying aswang. I knew that she could not be electrocuted by just climbing at the power lines for her body was found in between the tower posts. She was electrocuted halfway. I presumed that she was flying blindly because of bad weather condition.
As we prepared to bring the remains to the police station, one old man that we knew lived in a village near the foot of the hill came to claim the body.
We taunt him how her wife had managed to reach the lowland for we knew that she is crippled and could not walk although we already knew the answer.
The old man became angry and coursed us. He told us that it was none of our business. He threatened us that if we will not give to him the body, something will befell on us.
Not to prolong the argument we gave to him the corpse after somebody from the lowland testified that she knew the woman as her wife. He put the body on a sled that he brought with him and drove his carabao away from the village.
