Genting Bus Crash during Hungry Ghosts Festival!



Genting Bus Crash during Hungry Ghosts Festival!

The worst motor accident in Malaysia’s history happened during the Hungry Ghosts Festival. Were the supernatural souls from the afterworld involved?

“37 killed, 16 injured in Malaysia’s worst accident,” as reported by the mainstream and the internet media. The ill-fated bus was on the Genting up-downhill road on the privately owned by Genting Malaysia Berhad.

The Genting Sempah road is infamous for a string of mysterious incidents  and I have written about it previously in “Apparitions at Genting Sempah-Genting Highlands Highway” and “Ghost Sightings at Genting Sempah, Selangor”.

In addition the bus crash occurred during Hungry Ghosts Month which falls on August 7 and September 4. Taoists believe that the ghosts are opened from hell where the souls can roam the earth for a month.

 5. Cover up your forehead at night; always pin or put up your hair as high as possible
 6. Stare at “them” if you really saw one; look or walk away calmly
 7. Make funny jokes or comments on any display altar / offering items along the street
 8. Look underneath the altar table when there is a prayer session
 9. Shift your eyeballs from left to right or right to left repeatedly if you sensed something; always look straight and walk toward your destination calmly

 25. Get emotional and cry in the middle of the night
 26. Leave your bleeding wounds in an open air; always cover up the area with plasters or other bandage materials
 27. Be a curious person or hero, if you hear some “strange” sound or noise, especially soft crying tone; always act blur.
 28. Swim in the pool or lake in the middle of the night; something maybe waiting to pull your legs
 29. Play at the playground in the middle of the night; especially the swings
 30. Take up the challenge to enter cemetery area or abandoned houses

Before the bus crash in the Genting Highlands incident, a witness saw a group of wavy apparitions waiting at the roadside. Some people believe that it were vicious souls from the underworld, souls of the death waiting to reincarnate by taking the lives of people from the bus!
