hUnGrY GhOst MoNth...

Finally the ghost month arrived....today is mark as the start of the ghost month according to the chinese calendar. Worst there'll be 2 ghost months instead of 1 =). Believe it or not guess you better watched out and stay in house as it's known as the month represents a connection between the living and the dead, earth and heaven as well as body and soul. Within this few days only, many sudden and unexpected death was reported.

Mon Jul 24 - Royal tragedy
Tues Jul 25 - Actor Hani Mohsin dies
Tues Jul 25 - Woman loses mum and hubby within days (really sad sad story)

Just walking back home today, I noted along the roadside sumptuous meals are offered to these ghosts, as well as prayers and the burning of 'paper money'. Looking up to the park nearby my place, there's lie this manson which believed to be haunted. I was thinking will "she" be back? , will I be able to capture "her" picture? Should I look out for her? (weird wondering).According to some source there was once a couple who lived in the manson. Knowing the husband had an affair she committed sucide and hung herself wearing red clothes (chinese believe this is a way a person who died can stay in the world to continue their "unfinish task"/revenge)

It's believed her spirit had been wondering about for years and it's been seen by many and even posted through some chinese newspaper. Some source even stated there's used to be a monk who prayed for her in late evening everyday so her soul may rest in peace.

Soon after the monk passed away, a temple was built there. To some it sounds really eerie...you ask me do I? Hmmmm at first I think so but my friend told me..the ghost is a chinese ghost so they will only hunt chinese and since I am Christian they won't know me (but I still look like chinese mar) kakakkakaka...after all he is Ch-indian and they don't know him too.
