Ghost Month
August
The Month Of Death!
How
To Protect Yourself Or Stop Ghost
From Haunting You!
To the eastern culture,
the calendar calendar month of the
7th moon, which is between the 2nd
hebdomad of August and first hebdomad
of September, is a month of hungry
shades festival. This is the calendar
month where the spirit of the dead
or the shades are released from the
world of sleep and are allowed to
wander freely on earth.
A Hole medal and a straw
cross over your front door might just
be enough in some circles to protect
Hungry Ghost from invading your home,
life and mind! The Holly Blessed medal
nailed to the door might just ward
off a Banshee, a Vampire or a ghoul
or two. But .... can ancestor ghosts
still enter?
Real Hungry Ghost will
enter your life and demand to be fed.
Precautions need to be made in months
in advance. "They only want to
be respected and cause you all kinds
of harm for what they believe is your
own good!" says Ghost Hunter
Diane Chang, of San Francisco. "
Nothing but the old ways can stop
these family members from coming to
haunt you . And these angry hungry
souls are not appeased easy.
From
The News: It's Ghost Season
in Japan - Who You Gonna Call? - How
can one stop being haunted by ghosts?
In the Christianized West, holy water
and crosses may help ward off ghosts,
but they won't keep their Japanese
counterparts, buried under Shinto
or Buddhist rites, at bay. Instead,
"ofuda" strips inscribed
with Buddhist sutras are believed
to be effective in keeping evil spirits
away. Some Shinto shrines also provide
"oharai," a purification
ritual that removes bad omens with
wooden wands and chants. -- Japan

According to long centuries
old tradition, the Hungry Ghost Month
is a very evil time - which began
August 1 in the western calendar of
every year- On this day the locked
shut the gates of the underworld open
wide and fiercely, allowing real Spooks,
specters and real evil angry ghosts
to enter the world of mortals.
At the end of the month,
tradition holds the ghosts return
to the underworld and the gates are
slammed shut. But many ghosts do so
much damage in this short time lives
are ruined forever. But wait, don't
you know some Hungry ghosts can move
in and never leave.
Oh...
No! It's the most haunted month of
the year!
When August 1st rolls
around each year be afraid be very
afraid! The ghosts that can to your
home have many tricks up their shrouded
sleeves. From pesky Womb ghosts to
deadly anal spooks (
Also See: " Womb
Ghosts --- A Womb With A Boo!"
here) your life can be in serious
trouble. And if your a paranormal
investigator you might be at a higher
risk because many ghosts know who
you are and most likely where you
live.
None of this is a joke
by any means. August has always been
the month when it seems lifeless ghost
gain more energy. Haunting that have
laid dormant gain strength. And all
paranormal mayhem breaks loose in
the world of the living.
A Few
Ways to Keep The Ghosts Away
Turn your dormant completely
around. The part that faces in should
be facing the outside of the house.
especially effective if your doormat
says welcome. Some have been known
to take the doormat away for the entire
month, or stop using the front door
if you can and use another entrance.
Even climbing in a window. Many will
even go to the extreme of blocking
the front door or all doors with furniture
and items inside and out.
American Witches and
those around the world often wear
special pentagrams blessed in october
from a special ritual just for this
purpose, this month to only scare
away Hungry Ghosts. The symbol is
drawn on parchment sealed in wax and
worn in a locket of silver.
Smudging is always a
good way as is a House blessing. Also
Voodoo's in New Orleans make a special
Zombie bottle that frightens away
visiting ghosts. the bottled zombie
must be caught on a friday from a
fresh grave. The zombie ghosts is
then told that he will not be set
free unless he keeps all other ghosts
away from the house the entire month
of August.
To stop anal ghosts
it is good to purge your self once
a week the entire month so one does
not roost in your booty. Anal ghost
can be a nasty problem and you too
soon will never forget the haunted
experience.
Another good cure to
keep a anal ghost from effecting a
man is to only eat hot 10 spicy peppers
with each meal for the entire month.
A woman who does not want a womb ghosts
should wear a fresh sanitary napkin
the entire month or a pad. Of course
this will trick any ghosts that wants
to infest her womb that she is on
her monthly cycle and they will leave
you alone.
Those of you who live
outside of Korea have perhaps never
heard of "fan death" even
though it kills thousands of people
every year. Especially in the month
of August. Some believe it is caused
by the chill of the dead recurring
in the month of August to take back
souls so the ghost that were let loose
can stay in this world and the newly
dead will take their place in hell.
Never color your hair
in August many believe that dying
away grey hairs makes Hungry Ghost
think you are younger then what you
are. Hungry Ghosts do not effect people
over 65 because they know they are
one step from the grave.
Necromancer Lisa Lee
Harp Waugh tells us that she does
not practice Necromancy for the entire
month of August. She states that the
supremacies of over powering and too
many ghost to handle happens every
August. Waugh believes it has something
to do with the heat and magnetic waves
of the season. " I usually hang
a wreath of Voodoo-Hoodoo Origin,
and a powerful Gris-Gris Hex to ward
off the hungry dead, on my front door."
"I have done this for to many
years to count." "It' like
the old trick of hanging a mans Tie
or hat or scarf on the outside door
Knob." " It tells the Ghosts
that you are not accepting company."
Said Waugh.
Fan
Death
Fan death is a South
Korean urban legend which states that
an electric fan, if left running overnight
in a closed room, can cause the death
(by suffocation, poisoning, or hypothermia)
of those inside. Fans manufactured
and sold in Korea are equipped with
a timer switch that turns them off
after a set number of minutes, which
users are frequently urged to set
when going to sleep with a fan on.
The Korea Consumer Protection
Board (KCPB), a South Korean government-funded
public agency, issued a consumer safety
alert in 2006 warning that "asphyxiation
from electric fans and air conditioners"
was among South Korea's five most
common seasonal summer accidents or
injuries, according to data they collected.
Also included among the five hazards
were air conditioner explosions, and
sanitation issues, including food
poisoning and opportunistic pathogens
harbored in air conditioners. According
to the KCPB:
"If bodies are exposed to electric
fans or air conditioners for too long,
it causes bodies to lose water and
[causes] hypothermia. If directly
in contact with [air current from]
a fan, this could lead to death from
[the] increase of carbon dioxide saturation
concentration and decrease of oxygen
concentration. The risks are higher
for the elderly and patients with
respiratory problems. From 2003 [to]
2005, a total of 20 cases were reported
through the CISS involving asphyxiations
caused by leaving electric fans and
air conditioners on while sleeping.
To prevent asphyxiation, timers should
be set, wind direction should be rotated
and doors should be left open."
Research suggests that fan use may
be a contributing factor in heat-related
deaths such as fatal cases of hyperthermia.
A U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention study published in
the Journal of the American Medical
Association advises that "although
the use of fans may increase comfort
at temperatures less than 90°F
(less than 32.2°C), fans are not
protective against heatstroke when
temperatures reach greater than or
equal to 90°F (greater than or
equal to 32.2°C) and humidity
exceeds 35%,"[ and provides a
similar but simpler warning to the
public on their web site. These temperature
and humidity conditions are consistent
with a death cited in an earlier article
critical of fan death, which suggested
that fan use was irrelevant.
Texts on industrial hygiene and ventilation
will describe conditions when the
use of a fan will increase a worker's
heat load. Those conditions include
very high temperatures found in foundries
and similar industries like heat treating
metals. Similar problems occur with
high heat and high humidity.
A 2007 meta-analysis of studies on
heat wave-related deaths explains
that "a fan induces air movement
that increases evaporation and lowers
skin temperature, but in warm environments
increased wind speeds of hot air can
actually raise the skin temperature
and thus produce opposite results
by increasing core body temperature."The
study concludes that definitive recommendations
on fan use require further study.
An analysis of risk factors contributing
to 700 "excess deaths" during
a 1995 Chicago, Illinois, heat wave
found no evidence that fans either
increased or decreased mortality,
but noted that "interpretation
of the data on the use of fans is
complicated by the need to take into
account specific environmental factors
(for example, whether the fan is used
in a room with an open or a closed
window) and the health status of individual
subjects." Fear of crime was
cited as a factor in people keeping
windows and doors locked shut.
Only in the month of August are ghosts
given such great power around the
world. Ghosts that use to live in
your home as living people may return
after they have died. Strange ghosts
may come to your home and break appliances
and vehicles only because they are
unhappy you live in their old house
and what you have done to it.
I Just Want to "Close
My Eyes" and it be "September
already"!
When Ghost month is over many are
relieved but soon become depressed
through September and August if this
happens then you might just have a
real ghost trying to take over you
mind and body. This is the belief
in the far East. When Hungry Ghost
Month is over it might not be over
for you!
In New Orleans select
Voodoo's place many bottles with open
tops on their front porches, steps
and at any place that enters the home
each day they are filled with a good
dark rum every night at 3:AM these
bottles are corked or shut and buried
before dawn. new bottles are put in
their place. This goes on the entire
month of August in the Crescent City.
And each bottle contains a real captured
Hungry Dead ghost. Since they might
be lost family members they are taken
care of with a voodoo traditional
bury the dead ritual. Bianca the Voodoo
Queen of New Orleans says that some
homes backyards might contain hundreds
upon hundreds of such ghost filled
bottles in just one month. "So
if you live in New Orleans, Never
dig in a Yard unless you know where
the bottles are buried." If not
your Doomed to be haunted by thousands
of hundreds of Hungry Ghosts the rest
of your life!"
Other Hungry Ghost
Month (August) Taboos From around
the World and their Special cures:
Never wash your clothes at night
or your grand children will suffer
there whole life's long.
Do not allow small pets into your
bedroom at night to do so will make
the ghosts that come to visit annoyed
with you. (Some Pets warn of ghosts
in homes) They the ghosts will often
strike you with serious illness that
will last one year to the day.
Do not under any circumstances comb
or brush your hair with anything but
your hands and fingers. To do this
spells real trouble. The hungry ghosts
are said to make men impotent and
women sterile for 5 years if you do
not follow this dire warning.
Only take a full bath on Wednesday
of each week. Wipe your body down
with a damp cold rag each night steeped
in green tea and rose petals. If you
do not heed this you will suffer from
great headaches and loss of being
able to speak for one year or more.
Do not bare your shoulder or bare
arm except on Tuesdays of the month.
Do not get any tattoo's or piercing
this month they will never heal and
you may die from it.
Only wash your hair with clear water
and vinegar the entire month. To not
do this spells loss of control of
your bowels for the rest of your life.
Do not wear perfume or deodorant.
Do not cry this month. Hold back
your many tears. If a ghost see's
you cry then it will take your soul
or possess you. If a child cries though
their s no effect if they are under
the age of 10.
If anyone dies this month have them
immediately cremated and do not morn
them until December. Pretend it never
happened or their soul will go to
hell forever for your misdeed.
Do not put trash out of your house
to be picked up the entire month .
One should wait until the month is
over to throw something out of your
house. This spells disaster that your
children will not find happy marriage
or wealth.
If a young girl does not pray each
night from 7:PM until 10:pm to God,
she will surely never conceive a child
of her own.
Young boys, teens and all men up
to the age of 50 should not masturbate
or touch their genitalia for any reason
what so ever for the entire month.
To do so means the hungry Ghost will
curse you to never father a son. Some
go as far as not washing it or wiping
them selves after defecation to just
keep these types of spirits away.
People will sometimes pretend to
be sickly or stay the whole month
in bed to make the ghosts think they
are dying soon so they will be left
alone.
Another great thing to do is to go
on a holiday or vacation trip to a
foreign place where hungry ghosts
will not be able to find you.
If you boil fresh cabbage everyday
for the month day and night for the
entire month, real ghosts will not
enter your home.
To stop ghosts from taking your soul
to hell or driving you mad. Place
fresh plates of food on your front
door step three times a day the entire
month. Ghosts will eat it the food
and leave you and your family alone.
Do not have any photos of yourself
taken this month of August or any
August. If your picture is taken and
several Hungry Ghost happen to be
in the photo with you. Then you will
be dead very soon. Never take any
photos avoid drivers licence and passport
photos also.
This year the Hungry Ghost Month
coincides with the opening of the
summer Olympics. Many are concerned
for their young athletes safety from
Hungry Ghosts. To protect them many
wear red.
If all else fails next mont is the
Moon Festival month and ghosts can
start to be banished with the help
of such people that know how to deal
with it!
During this month, the Chinese would
avoid any auspicious ceremonial such
as as marriage, building work or beginning
of concern and even postponing a surgery
if possible. In Chinese belief, during
this month, the domestic dogs will

warn us that Hungy ghosts are on the
prowl.
