Have seen an article talk about "10 taboos to avoid during the 7th month Ghost Festival". Whether u believe or not is up to individual. just sharing.

The seventh month marks the Ghost Month in the Chinese calendar, and as Singaporeans and a multi-racial country, we are accustomed to the ritual of burning offerings. Also referred to as the Hungry Ghost Festival, the Chinese believe during this time, the souls of the dead roam the earth.

According to custom, the ghosts can get up to mischief if ignored, so all sorts of offerings are made during this period. Hence, the Taoists and Buddhists burn hell money and paper offerings, such as cars, watches and jewellery to appease their deceased family members – taking care of their material needs even in the afterlife.

But that’s not all, there are also some things you should and should not do as both good and evil spirits will be roaming around.

Even if you don’t believe in the supernatural, it might be wise to take heed to these beauty superstitions passed down by the older generation. Better safe than sorry, right?

1. Don’t wear red clothes

As red is one of the colours known to attract ghosts, we would advise you against wearing Red during this month to avoid getting their attention.

2. Refrain from wearing black or dark nail colours

Traditionally, only the dead have nails that are black. Black nails may lead the spirits to think that you are one of them and may lead you back to hell as well.

If you really love your dark nail colours, consider adding some brighter colours to avoid making it look too dark!

3. Don’t cut your hair at night

This custom used to be more applicable in the past when electricity was absent. You can imagine that a haircut can be quite dangerous if done in the dark.

To avoid ghosts from causing any accidents, haircuts are generally discouraged once night falls.

4. Don’t leave your clothes out to dry overnight

They say that ghosts will “try on” the clothes and infiltrate your homes when you bring the clothes in.

5. Don’t keep long hair, especially if it covers your forehead.

It is believed that a human’s yang energy is focused on the forehead. If you cover your forehead with your hair, your yang will decrease and the probability that you will meet spirits will be higher.

Keep your forehead as bare as possible so the light from your forehead can shine bright and ward off the spirits.

7. Do not take pictures in the evening

Unless you want to see something spooky photobomb your selfies.

8. Avoid getting engaged or married in the 7th month

Other than the fact that 7th month is regarded to be inauspicious, it probably would be quite spooky if “extra guests” turned up for your wedding.

9. Avoid swimming

You may have heard of horror stories when experienced swimmers get their legs “pulled” by an unknown presence underwater… and breaking free only at the last minute!

Even if you don’t believe in ghosts, well, we think it is still better to be safe than sorry.

10. And of course, don’t stay out late

Ghosts are at their strongest at night, as the yin energy from the moon increases their power.

Avoid going out late at night as they may just follow you home and “disturb” you while you are out!

i am not a believer in all of these stuffs as i find it not logical. as there is ghost roaming around every single day not only seven month. so are we suppose to follow these stuffs throughout the year. just to let you know when i was young i kick all the offering that they offer around my estate and throw rubbish into bins that they burnt offering.

You're right except for one important point. There's no ghost.

You're right about it being illogical.
How's a ghost suppose to eat food offerings?
You mean food got soul or food got ghost so the ghost can eat? If ghost can eat, might as well go five star restaurant to eat.

& when you burn things, all of it reaches ghost?
So everything that was burnt or destroyed by fire go to ghost? When hiroshima was destroyed, it goes to which ghost?

All these are superstitious bs invented to con uneducated ppl hundreds of years ago.
A shame stupid ppl here actually thinks its real.

There are many stupid people here who say just because you don't see ghosts, doesn't mean they don't exist. Or they claim they can 'feel' ghosts.

Hey dumb fcuks! Scientists cannot see black holes but know they exist. There's a big difference between that n a made up thing like ghosts, elfs, unicorns etc..

3. Don’t cut your hair at night

This custom used to be more applicable in the past when electricity was absent. You can imagine that a haircut can be quite dangerous if done in the dark.

To avoid ghosts from causing any accidents, haircuts are generally discouraged once night falls.

NEVER HEARD OF THIS, BUT TRUE IN DAYS WHEN THERE IS NO ELECTRICITY

4. Don’t leave your clothes out to dry overnight

They say that ghosts will “try on” the clothes and infiltrate your homes when you bring the clothes in.

HEARD OF THIS, BUT DONO HOW TRUE.

5. Don’t keep long hair, especially if it covers your forehead.

THE LONG HAIR COVER YOUR BRIGHT ENERGY

It is believed that a human’s yang energy is focused on the forehead. If you cover your forehead with your hair, your yang will decrease and the probability that you will meet spirits will be higher.

Keep your forehead as bare as possible so the light from your forehead can shine bright and ward off the spirits.

7. Do not take pictures in the evening

Unless you want to see something spooky photobomb your selfies.

NOT NECESSARY 7TH MONTH, PLACE THAT ARE YIN IN NATURE MAY HAVE 'SPECIAL EFFECTS' ON PHOTO... IF YOU ARE 'LUCKY' ENOUGH

8. Avoid getting engaged or married in the 7th month

Other than the fact that 7th month is regarded to be inauspicious, it probably would be quite spooky if “extra guests” turned up for your wedding.

UNLESS INSTRUCTED FOR REASONS, PEOPLE SELDOM MARRY IN THIS MONTH

9. Avoid swimming

You may have heard of horror stories when experienced swimmers get their legs “pulled” by an unknown presence underwater… and breaking free only at the last minute!

WATER GHOST LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE ITS PLACE. NOT NECESSARY DURING 7TH MONTH

Even if you don’t believe in ghosts, well, we think it is still better to be safe than sorry.

10. And of course, don’t stay out late

Ghosts are at their strongest at night, as the yin energy from the moon increases their power.

GHOST ARE YIN IN NATURE, SO IT IS THEIR 'ACTIVE TIME' LIKE WE HUMANS WORK IN THE DAY, SLEEP AT NIGHT

Avoid going out late at night as they may just follow you home and “disturb” you while you are out!

I would advise all Bros and Sistas that the Chinese 7th month is a cultural thing, faith and beliefs etc. This is not about being logical or superstitious. We just need to respect each beliefs and values which makes us different from each other. Buddhist called the 7th Month as Mi Lan Peng Hui, Taoist take it as Hell Gate is open etc.

Cheers and have a wonder 7th Month!

Respect? OIC.....
Never thought of that

So if your sister's or daughter's future husband, whos a grown man BTW spend all his money n time looking for ghosts in haunted houses in spore. Will you respect him n let him marry yr relative??

So if Your subordinate who needs to take leave constantly cos he says he's 'possessed' & you need to cover him n he gets paid while you do his work. Will you respect him?

So if Your friend tells you his 'master' 'treated' his wife of spirits in her body by intense one on one 'praying' sessions in private n his wife always looks satiated after every session. Now his 'master' says your friends teenage daughter needs the same treatment. Will you lend him money so his womenfolk can be fcuked? And do you respect him?


Very easy to say motherhood pc statements like 'respect' hor. But difficult to apply. Or not so difficult if you really know what's tolerance acceptance n not garbagements bs multiracial crap.

People like you learn all this from garbagement but you don't know what it means cos they teach you very superficial things so you can be bent to their will.

Don't believe? Try applying for job with garbagement or do work with garbagement, n after confirmed you'll get the job, spend yr time talking intensely with the boss about ghosts, djinns n how god is a space alien n you'll see how they 'respect' your beliefs of ghosts n how tolerant they are. Confirm you won't get the job. Why leh??? Where's the 'respect'?

Respect somemore.

It's a traditional historical cultural thing but there's no truth behind it. If a foreigner ask you about it, that's the most accurate description.

This is not fcuking PA website or initiative.
Learn to be able to see through rhetoric n bs.
Learn what's tolerance and what can be said n shouldn't b said. Unlearn wad you learned from garbagement.

And btw hor garbagement don't believe in bs like ghosts also hor. So don't need to b afraid.

Your statement disparages, looks down on construction workers. I assure you some or most of them are smarter than some cocks here like uncle Aaron who believes in every ghost you can think of. Banana spirits, djinns, burger king etc.

Of course no spirit la. That's just fairy tale cooked up to bluff morons like uncle Aaron.

If have, those plantations in phillipines n Malaysia with hundreds n thousands of banana trees will have hundreds of spirits liao n one banana will cost $100 cos very few people will do the job.

Those ppl who believe this shit really gong n embarassingly stupid. Like uncle Aaron.
