Mythical Biringan City – Invisible Portal To Another World Where Dangerous Engkantos Reside
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - The location of Biringan City is unknown. Ancient legends and myths refer to Biringan City as a mysterious place inhabited by ancient spirits and Engkantos ("enchanted beings") who are shapeshifters able to take on human form.
Some say the place is invisible and can never be found. Folklore stories also tell that Biringan City is an invisible portal leading to another world. According to some tales, the city can only be spotted at night.
Biringan, which means "The Black City" or "the City Of The Unknown is supposed to be hidden somewhere between Gandara, Tarangnan, and Pagsanghan in the Samar province of the Philippines.
Many drivers have lost orientation in the area where Biringan City is supposed to exist today. Locals believe this is because the engkantos have the power to enter the drivers' minds. Sometimes, when this happens, drivers are no longer in control of their thoughts. Their orientation is lost, resulting in drivers deviating from their intended path. Strangely, many people have also vanished in this area.
