The story
The busaw (also busau) is a corpse-eating spirit in Philippine folklore. In stories, it lives near graveyards, often in a big tree, and listens in the evening for signs of a death. By day it looks like an ordinary person. It keeps animals and grows root crops. Some tellers say it has pointed teeth, hooked nails and a long tongue.
At night, it takes bodies from coffins. It leaves a banana tree trunk in the place of the body, a trick also told of the bal-bal. In some tellings, it turns the corpse into a pig before it carries the body away. It may also try to feed people its meat, so they become ghouls too. To protect a body, families are said to wash it well with vinegar and strong herbs. Salt is also used.
The sources describe the Manobo of the Agusan Valley, but they do not describe that group's own beliefs. The English article is a short stub with one web source, so local detail is unknown.
