Here's an older Chamorro folk belief we rarely ever hear about today. But, apparently, according to an edition of the Guam News Letter printed in 1918, many Chamorros of old believed in the existence of "spectral dogs" which sported flashing, flaming eyes. Chamorros called them bihu, which means "old." Perhaps these spooky dogs lived long ago and now appear and disappear as ghosts.
The bihu can be found at night digging up the earth with their paws, looking for the bones of dead men.
If a bihu sneaks up behind you and you turn around to look at him, he will jump way above your head and disappear into thin air.
