I know that I haven't been updating my post but pictures only. Now is the time for me back to update with post instead of picture. =)
As everyone knows that it's the Hungry Ghost Festival starts on the 13th August 2007 at the midnight of that night. It was a bit scary to know that it's the 7th month and you can see that on the road, there's a bunch of senior citizen people who are praying on the road side and you must be wondering what are those people doing it for. For those who doesn't know anything about it, the people prays at the road side is to pray for safety when they use the road during the 7th month by offered foods and hell money to the ghosts that being release from the hell gate to roam the world freely. It's for our own safety to do that because it's better be safe than be sorry later. Let me share some ghost stories with you guys here... =)
This ghost stories was being told by my sister to me, it's just about the same case that happen on Shutter movie alike and another one is my sister's friends who experience it.
The first stories goes by this, there's a couple and a kid living in a quite stable life. One day, the couple have an arguments, the husband killed the wife in the heat arguments and hid the body plus told no one about it. Few days later, the father ask the son, why he didn't ask for his mommy for the past few days? The kid replied to his father that he saw his father piggy back his mommy on his shoulder. And it shocked the father and left him speechless.
Another story is a friend of my sister experience a ghostly encounters. For the past few weeks, he felt that his stomach ache and thought that it was due to the gastric attack that happen to him so he went to see a doctor to find the problem of the cause. The doctor just told him that it was gastric pains and prescribe him some med to take to reduce the pain. After taking the medicine and it still doesn't work on him plus the pain was so worst that it make him hunch back. One day, he meet my sister friend and that guy have a sixth sense. He manage to sense there's something wrong with him and he bring the guy to see a Malay witchcraft aka Bomoh a healer who heals people that being attack by ghost, ghouls, demons and etc. When the Bomoh saw that guy, he ask him what is his name and where did he stay? The guy answered the Bomoh's question and the Bomoh told him what happen. His grandfather or great grandfather was a stingy guy and one day while he was passing by a old rundown temple, the temple gatekeepers ask him for donations but he say he don't have money and walks away. The Bomoh told him that the temple gatekeepers actually is a god in disguise. The god came down to the earth to test him, and he didn't pass the test. So the god punish the old man's
descendants *I think if I'm not wrong* The Bomoh also told him that why he had gastric pains because there's a female ghost clung on his shoulder. He say everytime he eats something, he swallow the ghost hair's as well because we know that female ghosts have long hair. And thank to the Bomoh, he helps him get rid of the ghost and he manage to eat like normal kind a person.
