Ten thing you should ABSOLUTELY DO to encounter the paranormal

It’s the Hungry Ghost Month where spirits and ghosts roam free. Not a believer? Think it’s all hogwash and make-believe? Well then, maybe you need to do all these below to experience the supernatural yourself. Beware though, it may cause you more harm than good. Consider yourself warned!

*This blogger will not be held liable if you were haunted or possessed for the rest of your life for doing any of these things below*

1.Stomp, step and walk all over the roadside offerings for the hungry ghost

All the ashes of the burnt hell money and the food that many Taoists place on the roadside are offerings for the wandering spirits. And this means these ashes and food are usually surrounded by wandering, hungry ghosts. Now, you want to be haunted, just stomp on the ashes and kick the offerings.

Don’t believe? I know of a fella who accidentally stepped on some of the ashes. He didn’t know that he offended several spirits. The spirits followed him home and even possessed him. He began acting real weird and that’s not all, he could even turn his head all around without moving his body. This freaked his wife out and she immediately tried to get help.

She found a ‘ghostbuster’ who managed to catch all the spirits who possessed him. The ghostbuster told her that her husband was lucky that they had immediately sought help otherwise the spirits may have caused him to be killed!

2. Go stay in a vacant building that is known as haunted and pee on the walls

Some vacant buildings have a reputation of being haunted and this is often true. Some are occupied by hundreds of spirits and most of these spirits are dangerous.

There is one well known haunted building in Relau here. One day this guy happen to go through the building as a short cut. He also needed to pee really bad. So, without thinking, he went to the corner of the vacant building and relieved himself. Of course, this angered the spirits there. The next day, when he rode his bike pass that area, he suddenly lost control and crashed. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured but that’s not the last of it. When he got home, he suddenly fell very ill with high fever and chills. It lasted for a week and no medication seems to work. His mother, as a last resort, went to seek help at a temple and ask the deities what’s wrong with her son. She was told that he had offended several malicious spirits and they now wanted him dead. The same ghostbuster as above went to ‘talk’ to the spirits. After the negotiation (more like threats by the ghostbuster), the spirits agreed to let him go.

3. Wear red and walk around where offerings are being made after 7pm

While the spirits are not afraid of sunlight, they are more active and powerful after dusk. They also hate red so they are prone to attack people wearing red clothes.

My friend wore a red blouse and actually went to a haunted house to look around in the daytime. Needless to say, she was attacked by the spirits in the house as she could actually feel someone push her from her back until she fell. Luckily she was wearing a talisman so they could not possess her. She left in a hurry after muttering some prayers and that’s the last time she ever wore a red shirt especially during the hungry ghost month.

4.Tell ghost stories, say bad things about them, swear at them after dark during this month

Ghosts and wandering spirits are like us,they feel offended easily and they usually like to gather around when people start talking about them. So if you are telling ghost stories and then you are swearing at them, they will be offended and will want to attack you.

We were on holiday at Cameron Highlands a few years back when my son was still very small. My clothes were crumpled so without an iron, I did the next best thing. I turned on hot water and hang the clothes in the bathroom to steam it with the door closed. So when my godbrother wanted to use the bathroom, he saw the door closed and heard the water running so he thought someone was in there. But then he saw all of us sitting outside so he asked us who’s in the bathroom. My husband teased him and tried to frighten him by saying there’s a few of his ‘unseen friends’ taking a shower in there.

That night, my son couldn’t sleep and was very restless. My husband also could not sleep and could feel as if someone was standing next to him staring at him. In the middle of the night, I startled awake and actually saw a shadow standing over our bed! I begin muttering prayers and soon after, the shadow was gone.

5. Place wind chimes at your home, as many as possible and also ring the bell and all sorts of bell-like sound as often as you like especially at night

Somehow, ghosts seem to like the sound of bells, wind chimes and anything with this jingly sounds. So the more bell you ring( the actual bell, not the electronic doorbell!) the more will come.

My friend loves wind chimes. She has so many wind chimes in her home, you can hear it from afar. It was after she started collecting wind chimes a few years back that she started experiencing strange things. She’d hear someone running back and forth upstairs even though she’s alone at home. She’d hear banging sounds, like someone rapping on the walls, in the middle of the night. She also can’t sleep and was restless. it went on for months until she decided to seek help from a medium and was told that her house is surrounded by spirits because of her wind chimes. She immediately got rid of her collection and the disturbances stopped.

6. Let ferns grow on your walls

Some spirits like to hide inside plants, especially in light wavy plants like ferns.

Outside my children’s bedroom, there’s a tiny little crack on the corner of the wall and somehow it started growing ferns. The ferns was so long that it was brushing against the window. I never bothered about it although the waving ferns did give me a scare a few times at night.

Well,my baby girl was having restless nights and crying a lot. But I though she was just being a fussy baby. Until one day, my ‘sixth sense’ friend visited me. She could see supernatural things and when she went into the room, she jumped in shock and ran out. She told me that there were three ferocious monsters outside the window. I went to look and only saw the ferns. She then explained that the monsters were hiding in the ferns! (She said monsters because the spirits do not look like humans but like something you’d see only in movies)

Fortunately, my house has a Lord Buddha to guard it so these monsters could not get in but they were nevertheless disturbing my baby! So, the next day, after getting my ghostbuster friend to get rid of the monsters, we got rid of the ferns. Now I check the walls often to ensure that there are no wild ferns growing there!

7. Pick up amulets and talismans from public places or from unknown strangers

Amulets and talismans are usually used for protection but there are some parties who used these in their dark arts. There are also fake amulets and talismans and spirits often like to hide in these.

My husband used to like collecting talismans wherever he went and then he’d hang it everywhere at home. There were close to a hundred of it! Then when my son was about 9 months old, he started crying around 11pm until 1am every night. Non-stop. It was like he was in pain. We tried everything, from colic medicine to feeding him. Nothing worked. Then someone told us to seek help from a medium as it could be supernatural related.

We sought help from a several mediums and nothing works! Until we met this ‘ghostbuster’ who late became our friend. The problem was solved and it seemed that our whole house was filled with spirits from the talismans my husband took home! This was before we had the Lord Buddha altar at home. We threw away all the talismans and never simply pick it up from unknown sources again.

8. Keep and the eat the food offerings you made for the hungry ghosts or even to Tai Su Yeah (King of Hades)

Many people tend to do this, they’d offer fruits and kuih and then keep it and eat it later.

The logic is simple, I give up you food and then I take it back. Would you like that? So, you want to anger some spirits, do exactly that!

My ghostbuster friend has exorcised quite a few spirits that had possessed those who ate offerings they took back to eat.

9. Go to the concerts and opera shows held during the hungry ghost month and be rude/spit everywhere/ talk about ghosts and scoff that ghosts exists

These shows are literally meant to entertain the wandering spirits so yeah, there will be plenty of unseen audience. It’s the best place for you to scare up a possession!

My husband once got it into his head to take photos of one of those opera shows. After two or three shots, his camera jammed and could not shoot anymore! So he stopped and came home. When he checked the camera, it was ok and could function as normal. When he looked at the pictures, it was blur and out of focus. Camera malfunction or something else? Why don’t you try?

10. Go hiking, pee and defecate wherever you want, spit everywhere also or go to fatal accident scenes and step on the blood

There are often a lot of spirits in the hills and jungles. It’s their home so if you pee/defecate or spit in their home, they won’t be pleased. Years ago, a man went hiking and was lost. Nobody could find him for days that dragged on to a week.

Then one of the searchers found his body just a few feet from the trail. It seemed that he had defecated and angered a spirit. The spirit hid the path so he could not get out and hid him so rescuers couldn’t find him.

As for accident scenes, my husband passed by a horrific accident scene that killed several people a few years ago. Three of the spirits followed him home! We found out from my son because he was restless and crying like when he was disturbed by spirits. Of course the spirits could not enter our home but they stood outside calling to him to help them! I called our ghostbuster friend and they were sent on their way.

She told us that often spirits of accident victims are confused and do not know what to do or where to go so they may just follow a human home in hopes of getting help!

And that concludes my top 10 ways to get in touch wit ghosts and spirits and the sorts. Don’t believe any of these stories? Then try them out!
