Some of the more famous local ones...

- Thursday Nite... the nite where ghosts are the most active...
- Ghosts are accompanied by a flowery (usually Frangipani or Jasmine) scent..
- Drawing of a white circle while burning of hell notes to ancestors, to prevent non-related spirits from taking away the money..
- Say prayers before relieving oneself in a place other than the toilet..

Funny thing is why does the ghots have a flowery smell accompanied with it's appearence?

St4rduSt- SG

Is it one of "their" popular perfume? Question Laughing

Master -_- SG

Spirits associated with flowery aroma lingering normally means a "friendly" or a pleasant-"looking" spirit is nearby meaning that u wun be shocked or what.

Spirits associated with foul-smelling and pungent aromaare those hideous and vengeance looking spirits who will make sure u get shocked to your wits.

Spirits with those food-smells are kid/children/baby spirits.. who tend to follow u back home but if u have some scraps of food.. throw it into the air and u will be saved.

Yah...I've heard that one before..

Touching on the issue of food, i have heard one..
When fishermen eat their catch, they only eat from one side of the fish and never turn it over to eat the other side..
That's because flipping the fish over signifies a boat flipping over.. Rolling Eyes

Dunno whether true or not...
