Ghost Month


Today marked the beginning of the most inauspicious time of year according to Chinese tradition. During this time, spirits of the dead roam the earth and apparently can create plenty of mayhem.

Hence for those that believe in such superstitions, it is inadvisable to travel, get married or carry out any other such life threatening activity. This is particularly the case during the hours of darkness so we hope that the evening rush hour will be significantly reduced for the next month.

To mark the occasion at NASAM (the stroke centre where I volunteer), a ghost story telling session amongst the stroke survivors was held, where I heard several personal supernatural tales.

Best be careful out there.
