10 THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO DURING 7 MONTH!! 👻

2025/8/25 Edited to

... Read moreDuring the 7th month, known as the Hungry Ghost Festival, many traditions and superstitions are observed to respect wandering spirits. One key thing to remember is to avoid swimming at night, as it is believed that spirits of those who drowned linger in water and may drag the living down. Another important caution is to never whistle or sing at night; this is said to attract spirits and invite unwanted encounters. I also learned that hanging clothes outside overnight can be risky. Spirits are believed to 'wear' these clothes, bringing bad luck when you wear them later. It’s best to keep clothing indoors. Moving house, starting a business, or getting married during this month is considered extremely inauspicious because the month is thought to be unclean and full of restless spirits. For those curious about food offerings, remember not to eat the offerings left by the roadside or at temples, as these are specially prepared for spirits. Stepping on or kicking offerings is seen as deeply disrespectful and invites misfortune. Also, avoid taking photos at night or of the offerings; many believe spirits can appear in pictures or be inadvertently captured. An eerie but practical tip is not to turn your head if someone calls your name at night since it might be a spirit trying to lure you. Also, refrain from leaning against walls after dark because walls may serve as resting spots for spirits. Observing these practices helps maintain respect for tradition while keeping you safe during this spooky season. If you've had any chilling encounters or tips to share, feel free to join the conversation and stay safe throughout the festival.
