<div class="legacy-text">A Kapre is a mythical tree demon of the Philippines. It favors big trees like the Bayan, Mango and Acacia where you will sometimes find it sitting under it's shades.<br /><br /><br />The creature is described as being male, 8 to 10 ft tall, bearded and fond of smoking. A strong scent of tobacco or ganja is what humans notice when they believe there is a Kapre in their presence because it is invisible unless it wants to be seen.<br /><br /><br />Kapre are pranksters. Often disorienting travelers and making them lost their way in the thick forests or mountain trails. Even in familiar surroundings a person can forget where he is if a Kapre decides to play a trick on the unsuspecting. Victims also experience loss of memory when they are under the enchantment of the Kapre.<br /><br /><br />Witnesses have heard loud laughter from unseen beings. Rustling leaves from tree branches even if there was no wind. A pair of fiery red glowing eyes staring at them from tree tops. The smell of tobacco or ganja smoke coming from behind leaf ladden branches.<br /><br /><br />They are also romantics. If they fall in love with a woman they will consistently follow the "love interest" throughout her life<br /><br /><br />...and no man shall ever come between them.<br /><br /><br />Follow the link for a love story...<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.philippinegenrestories.com/2011/05/kapre-a-love-story/\" target="_blank">http://www.philippinegenrestories.com/2011/05/kapre-a-love-story/</a></div>
