Grandma Bowler Tagalee, who is big, Mr. Gulag.

Grandma Kala Tagali is one of the myths of Thai folk that dates back to pre-Buddhism, a belief in a group of "ancestral ghosts," or masters, which was originally said to be the first human creators in the world, but when Buddhism and Brahman came to influence it, this belief gradually changed and made Grandma Kala Tagali become a "demon demon" or, as the shaman called "master of the cemetery," who takes care of the spirits in the cemetery.

In ancient belief, the sailor grandmother Tagali is not an ordinary ghost, but a superstitious ghost, like the owner of an area that controls the spirits, so before the soothsayer or anyone enters the cemetery, whether it is a cremation, a collection of ashes, or even a deep ritual like digging a body to make a lymph, there must always be a "permission" from the sailor.

It is believed that without permission or unpleasant offerings, the ritual will not be able to continue, and if continued, there may be harm to the perpetrator, whether it is a sudden illness, hallucinations, or an inexplicable unexpected cause. This makes Grandma Bowler Tagali be viewed with "fear" rather than "fear" because he controls the rules of the area rather than a direct abuser.

Another belief that is inherited in some areas is a small ceremony before burial. In the past, burial was preferred first and later burned. Old people often threw coins into the coffin and said,

"Grandma Bowler Tagali asked to buy at 3 wah, 2 cubits."

This is like asking permission to use the area and "buying a place" for the deceased to have a place in the cemetery in peace, not disturbed by other spirits.

In addition, in some localities, there is a belief that before entering the cemetery, whether running an errand or just walking by, the magistrate should be told or asked for safety, because the cemetery is not only a place of death, but an area that is guarded by the "owner."

Because of this, Grandma Bowler Tagali is not just a ghost in the sense of horror, but a representative of the belief in the "order of the spirit world" that the ancients respected, a keeper of the balance between the living and the dead, and a clear reflection of the wisdom, beliefs, and way of life of the Thais in the past.

Even today, the story of the bowler grandmother Tagali is told in a more entertaining form, but in some areas this belief is still upheld, especially among those involved in rituals or places about death.
