Kapre is a filthy giant[1] who likes to smoke huge rolls of cigars, and hide within, and atop large trees, particularly the balete and old acacia or mango trees. A Filipino bigfoot, it scares away little children who play at night.[4] If you're stuck in a place and you keep going around in circles, you're said to be played around with by a Kapre. To escape its control, you must remove your shirt/clothing, and wear it inside-out.
