“Dark Secrets and Witchcraft: Glydel Mercado Nearly Dies After Alleged Family Curse — Actress Fights for Her Life Amid Shocking Revelation”
By: Showbiz Exposé Weekly
In a twist straight out of a horror-drama teleserye, veteran actress Glydel Mercado has reportedly come face to face with death — not from a medical condition or accident, but from something far more sinister: a family curse.
Sources close to the Mercado family claim that the 48-year-old actress is recovering from a life-threatening spiritual attack, allegedly orchestrated by members of her own bloodline through a powerful kulam (curse) ritual. The revelation has sent shockwaves throughout the entertainment industry and left netizens reeling in disbelief.
Is this a case of old Filipino superstition gone wild? Or is Glydel’s terrifying story a wake-up call about the dark forces still present in the modern world?
The Mysterious Illness No Doctor Could Explain
It all started quietly. According to Glydel’s assistant, the actress began experiencing unusual symptoms two months ago while filming a drama series in Batangas. These included:
Unexplained bruises on her arms and legs
Sudden weight loss despite a normal diet
Persistent nightmares
A foul smell following her around that only she could detect
Frequent nosebleeds at exactly 3:00 a.m.
At first, doctors suspected anemia or an autoimmune disorder. But after dozens of tests, all results came back normal. Glydel’s condition continued to worsen — she became weak, bedridden, and reportedly began speaking in voices not her own.
Turning to Traditional Healers
Desperate for answers, Glydel’s close friend, actress Sunshine Cruz, stepped in and suggested visiting a faith healer (albularyo) in Quezon Province.
According to the healer, Glydel’s symptoms were not physical — they were spiritual. She was under attack from a powerful kulam allegedly cast by someone “connected to her by blood.”
“May masamang loob na galing sa pamilya mo,” the healer reportedly told Glydel. “Inggit at galit ang pinagmulan.”
(“There is evil intent coming from your own family. It stems from envy and anger.”)
The Suspected Culprits: Family Ties Turned Toxic
Glydel has always maintained a low-key family life, rarely speaking about her extended relatives in public. But insiders claim that she had ongoing tensions with certain cousins over property disputes involving ancestral land in the province of Rizal.
According to a source who requested anonymity, a particular cousin had accused Glydel of “stealing what’s rightfully ours” after she inherited land from her late grandmother — land allegedly promised to another family member.
“They said she used her money and influence to get the land. There was resentment,” the source said. “They never forgave her.”
Was this long-standing grudge the motivation behind the curse?
What the Psychic Saw: The Dreaded “Pagsasalin”
One of the psychics consulted by Glydel reportedly performed a ritual known as “pagtatawas” — where candle wax is dripped into a bowl of water to reveal spiritual symbols.
What formed in the bowl left everyone speechless.
“It was the face of a goat, with horns, and a broken chain,” said the psychic. “That’s a sign of ancestral betrayal. Someone passed the curse down.”
The healer claimed Glydel was the victim of a “pagsasalin” — a ritual where dark energy is transferred from one family member to another to destroy their luck, health, and future.
Worse, the psychic warned that if not stopped, the curse could lead to death.
A Secret Cleansing Ceremony
In late June, Glydel was secretly transported to a private retreat in Baguio, where she underwent an intense spiritual cleansing known as “pagpapalayas.”
Witnesses to the ceremony say it was like a scene out of a horror movie.
Glydel allegedly screamed in voices that weren’t hers
Objects moved on their own
Candles exploded for no reason
At one point, Glydel passed out for 13 full minutes, with no pulse — only to wake up screaming:
“Hindi mo ako matatalo!” (“You will not defeat me!”)
After the final session, the healer declared the curse had been “broken, but not forgotten.”
Glydel Speaks: “It Was Real. I Almost Died.”
Breaking her silence in an exclusive interview with a showbiz columnist, Glydel confirmed the terrifying ordeal:
“I never believed in these things before. But now… I can’t deny what happened. I felt death. It was like something wanted to pull me into the ground.”
She also hinted that she knows who was behind it, but is choosing to keep silent — for now.
“I will let karma do its job,” she said. “But I’ve learned never to ignore the signs.”
Netizens React: “This Is Beyond Teleserye Plot!”
The story has gone viral across the country, with many fans expressing shock, fear, and concern:
“This is scarier than any horror movie. Real-life kulam?!”
“Protect Glydel at all costs. How could her own family do this?”
“Proof that no matter how rich or famous you are, envy from your own blood can destroy you.”
Others shared their own stories of spiritual attacks, sparking a new wave of public interest in Filipino witchcraft, psychic defense, and spiritual healing.
What’s Next for Glydel?
Despite still recovering, Glydel has vowed to return to acting soon.
“I’ve faced death. Nothing scares me now,” she said.
She also shared that she plans to launch a foundation dedicated to helping victims of spiritual abuse and promoting mental-spiritual wellness.
“We need to stop laughing at kulam like it’s a joke,” Glydel said. “Sometimes, the evil isn’t imagined. It’s real — and it could be closer than you think.”
Final Thoughts: When Family Becomes the Enemy
Glydel Mercado’s shocking confession has not only revived conversations about witchcraft and family betrayal — it has exposed the dark underbelly of fame, wealth, and envy.
Whether you believe in curses or not, one thing is clear: Glydel’s story is a haunting reminder that sometimes, the greatest danger doesn’t come from strangers… but from those who share your name.
