The Gates of Hell...'☠
Once a year, at midnight on the last day of the 6th Lunar Month, the gates of hell are open and a countless number of starving spirits are set free to visit earth. The spirits will eat till they drop before returnin' to hell. People staged street opera for the wandering spirits. In the past, people did not view the street operas as they were performed only for ghosts but now many people will gather and watch the opera. Even though many people, seats were reserved for the"
VIPs". Today is the 2nd day of the
hungry ghost month. The most important days of this month are the
14th and
15th, the days of the great feasts. On the 14th, a great feast would be held to honor family ancestors. Prayers and offerings would be made at family altars. On the following night, the 15th, they would feast for the hungry ghosts. Held outside under the full moon, these feasts feed the evil spirits so that they will leave the living alone. Coincidently this year's 14th of 7th Lunar Month was on 14th of August. I wont be goin' anywhere this month after 9. Just stay at home and watch some horror flicks. So for those who dont believe or have nothin' better to do on this month, you can try to see "
dead" using the ways i've posted days ago and a reminder for you, it is said to be bad to go swimming during the 7th Lunar Month 'cause "
something" will try to drown you.
i'll be watching..
