What you are not allowed to do:

1. food offerings are not to be eaten

2. do not take pictures at night
because the ghost could be captured
and follow you home

3. If you sleep alone in a double bed
sleep in the middle, or
the ghost could sleep beside you

4. if someone calls you by your full name
   from behind, do not look back
   Because if you respond,
   the ghost could drag you to hell
   so, always use nicknames

Whether you believe it or not it's up to you
But things have always happened
during the Chinese Ghost Festival

why so many new believes........

I think over the years the ghost festival has changed in the old days it was remembering and pray on Ancestor.

These days are community Party.....

Only yesterday i saw people drinking lots of beer and a bottle of Martel at one of the event.

Last time when I was young, I will always use chinese to pray and bless my family cos I thought they wouldn't know English.

I think the take photograph is true. My aunty family took a family photograph together, then the photographer asked my aunty to stand nearer to one side, so that her other daughter can move in nearer to be inside the photo. The problem is my aunty only has 2 daughter who is already sitting in front of her.
