Spirits is a popular television program that was released by ABS-CBN. It aired from December 13, 2004 to May 6, 2005. It was also aired on Wednesdays at 9:45pm on Jeepney TV. It is about eight kids who find out one day that they have special abilities that normal humans don't have. They received their powers when a strange epidemic hit their hometown. The kids' names are Red, Lloyd, Maya, Liz, Jessie, Thor, Nato, and Gabby.
Intended to be a prequel to director Chito Roño's Spirit Warriors films, Spirits is hailed to be the first-ever Philippine teleserye to combine teen adventure with supernatural themes. It is also Roño's television debut, even though he is already a big name in film directing.
One day, the kids' hometown was hit by an unknown supernatural epidemic. The strange thing about it was that the sickness only affected kids. About a week after the sickness hit, almost every toddler and kid in town was affected. The town hospital was full of kids. One night, the evening sky started to change colors. It started to look like a mix of pink, red, and purple. A few hours after the sky changed, a pregnant lady was taken to the hospital. What she did not know is that the baby that she was carrying was an alien. An unknown man did know about the alien, and he went to the hospital to kill it which meant that he would have to kill the lady too. The man entered the emergency room. but he was too late. The alien was born and just as he entered the room, the alien released a bright light in the hospital and it killed almost all the children that were in the hospital. The only ones who survived were the eight kids and the adults.
