Hungry Ghost Festival –
Old Housewives Recollections 2
This is the
2nd part of “Hungry Ghost Festival-Old Housewives Recollections”
which I previously wrote. This is about the experiences of “aunties” (I guess I
am an “old uncle”…sob!) about the eerie and unnatural but real-life incidents
that they have encountered.
4th Experience
Burning of Joss Sticks
for Hungry Ghost Festival
Mrs. Ching
told us about her strange and weird encountered when she was young schoolgirl. During
that month, Hungry Ghost Month to specific, many people burned incense, joss sticks,
paper money etc (“yim poh lup chook”- a Cantonese translation, I hope I got it
right) during this occasion, on roadsides, street corners and back lanes.
