Are you scared?
In the Chinese culture, Ghost Month is observed during the 7th lunar month of the year. Lunar calendar is different from the Filipino Calendar. It falls somewhere in August to September. It's the time of the year in the Chinese culture it is believed that the Gates of Heaven is Opened for the hungry ghosts to visit and wander around spontaneously, they look for places to eat and drink.

They look for water or sometimes beer (just kidding).
It is like the "All Souls Day" in the Philippines, but for
this year the Ghost Festival will be on September 5, 2017, but it will be
observed between August 22nd - September
19th.
In my personal note, Ghost Month has a
different energy in all of the months, it is better to avoid major activities.
here are some..
Some Do's and Don'ts
Do Not Take Long Trips - it is believed that ghosts will show up in the backseat of
your car and will make you scared and smash your car in a tree. So buckle up
buddy! Take care when you are driving, avoid breaking the rules, for your bones
will break if you do.
Do Not Make Big Purchases - if you are planning to buy a brand new house or a brand new car or a pre-owned one, delay it first. Misfortune will come your way. Ghosts will stay inside that house (they like new houses too you know!)
Do Not Build or Renovate Houses - Just like making big purchase, those big activities are eye catching to the ghosts.
Do Not Start a Business or Sign Business Deals (big or small) - Misfortune will come when you start a business during ghost month. Better to wait after the ghost month. Things can wait ok? There’s a huge chance for bankruptcy or failed business during this period.
Does Not Transfer Office - This is also a brand new activity; this is also a major one so avoid transferring to avoid misfortune in your office.
Do Not Swim - it is believed that ghosts will look for water for they are so thirsty. You want a ghost to drag you down under the pool or sea?
Do Pray - pray for them, I know you
are not a church goer, but pray for them alright?
Just be careful during Ghost month ok? Have a strong mindset and always
pray before you leave the house.
