Story
[edit]A year after the violent death of Beatrice, Anna, a clairvoyant doctor[3] and her lover Carlos start experiencing supernatural events. Anna thinks that Beatrice's ghost is haunting her and talks to her friend Cathy, who recommends her to an espiritista, Idang. Idang tells her that Beatrice, powered by her babang luksa, is possibly haunting Anna to exact her revenge, as Anna is the main cause of her suicide.
Anna performs a ritual to speak to Beatrice's spirit and pacify her anger. For a while, the haunting stops until their common friend, Kris dies. More perplexed than before, Anna consults Idang again, who tells her that it was not Beatrice's spirit that she called out but a sigbin. A spirit trapped within the portal of the mirror, a Sigbin will need to acquire five spirits that are close to the person who set it free, Anna. The only way to save them is to fulfil the power of a superstition (pamahiin). Despite Idang's intervention, Tita Soledad is killed next.
Unable to take back what she did, knocking on Beatrice's casket, Kris's soul is taken by the Sigbin. Anna, Carlo, Idang and Miguel rush to Beatrice's grave, but Miguel is taken by the Sigbin. Idang is also killed by the Sigbin for interfering with its will. Carlo digs up the body, and cuts the rosary. They are momentarily relieved before Anna suffers a flashback and realizes that before they buried Beatrice, Carlo discreetly placed a rosary in the corpse's pocket. Then Carlo is suddenly taken. The screen cuts to black, and Anna's scream is heard.
