7th Month Hungry Ghost Festival

This is after all the ghostly lunar month where the Chinese calls it the Hungry Ghost Festival. Yes, the 七月 (7th Month) is here and during this time, lots of taboos and things are going round. Most traditional Chinese will tell their children to stay out of danger and places during the night and to be wary around for any wandering spirits.

Just when you thought in this modern age there are no such things as spirits, you’ll never know when and where will ‘it’ happen.

Basically this is the time where spirits of the dead gets to roam free on Earth to enjoy the pleasures and to visit their family members who are still living. So of course, you’ll get to see many family members start offering things with candles. Now that’s good? Or rather to celebrate the homecoming of their ‘family’ and also to warned other spirits that they are well protected.

If you have an alarming story, why not contact us here….

Side note: The administrators here will try to get ready the pre-template for this site too. It’s been hanging there for too long.

They like hearing bout themselves….

I know loads of you guys out there like to talk bout ghost and spirits and etc…
But do you guys also know that they like to hear bout themselves too?
My friend told me this, I am just telling back his story in text form. =P

Here goes….

My friend went on some trip with a bunch of his friends. His gang of friends consists of him, a guy with the third eye (let’s just call him A), one that knows alot about chanting certain mantra (religious ones) and several others.
They rented an apartment there to stay for the night that has a balcony outside the living room. So happen that they decided to tell ghost stories to past the time in the living room of the apartment but the friend with the third eye didn’t join them because he need to run to shops to buy stuff.
Before they start, that friend that knows alot about chantings and stuff told them to sit in a circle and hold hands before he starts chanting some stuff to “protect” those who are in the circle telling the stories. Once he’s done they all started to tell their stories one at a time. After awhile when A came back to the apartment he said to his friends “Hey what are you guys doing la?”. To which his friends replied, “What does it look like we’re doing? We’re telling ghost stories lor.”
Then A said, “Did you know there are loads of “fella” that are here listening?” Then his friends said, “What fellas? What are you talking bout man?” A then said, they are all outside, crouching down together in the balcony listening to every single word that comes out of you guys’ mouth.

So you see boys and girls, be careful when you are telling ghost stories….
You’ll never know who / what might be eave dropping on you guys….
