Delve into the legend of the "ghost," the top of the pilot of the Thai superstition.
The ghost is one of the most unique ghosts because it is the few types of ghost that have magically adapted "household snatchers" into flying aids.
1.Origin: When magic becomes a curse
The belief in the "play of" or superstition is often associated with men who go to black magic classes, such as invulnerability or extreme compassion, but there is a reason for "entry" or "wrong teacher," such as:
Violate the subject's taboo (e.g., do not eat leftovers from others, do not walk through banana crutches)
The mind is not strong enough to control the subjects learned.
Did not perform the ceremony to spit the subject or pass the teacher when the time came
When "entry" occurs, the body and mind change, becoming semi-human, semi-ghost animals at night.
2. Physical and flight aids (The Aerodynamics)
The most interesting point of the hubris is the folk aviation "engineering":
Rice frying coils: The hubbub will wear large woven bamboo coils on both arms (some legend it is tied at all) to replace the wings in the flutter, creating lift.
Praying pestle: Use a large stone pestle or wooden pestle, tied at the waist to hang down between the legs, or use a Western witch's broom-like ride, to serve as a "rudder" to steer and balance in the air.
Dress: Often only wearing a mole-colored rays or a single turban, the upper body is naked to make the most streamlined movement.
3. Behavior and livelihood
Appearance time: Only during the night, especially the dark night.
Food: The taste of eating like a "ghost" is like rotten, fishy, filth, and excrement. For this reason, in the old days, the excrement and excrement were often described as a "couple pack" or a fan, because they were often seen in the same place, a pit latrine or a dump behind the village.
Habits: Rarely hurt people directly like ghosts, but often annoy or scare them, and often hide from the lights.
4. Weaknesses and protection
The ancients believed that the hubris, although flying and bewitched, had weaknesses:
Fear of thorns: Planting thorny trees around a house (such as a thorn or a spine) will prevent a swooping down near it.
Fatigue: Because of the force of the flutter arm, the flutter cannot fly for very long and often has to rest on the ground.
Fight People: If caught by a person while being a person figure (during the day), the hubris will be very embarrassed and often rush away.
5. In the current view
Anthropologically, creating a ghost story can be "creating a social norm" to remind men of the ancients not to become too obsessed with superstition, or to describe the image of someone who does not work but often sneaks out of their home at night to do bad things.
