When is Ghost Festival in 2018?

The 2018 Ghost Festival is on August 25, 2018, the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, which is a Saturday. I would like to advise everyone that on this night, whether you have something to do or not, it is better to stay at home, especially in remote places.

What can't you do on Ghost Festival?

1. Don’t put your slippers neatly beside the bed, as this will attract the curiosity of friends in the spirit world and cause them to make a fuss. 2. Don’t hang clothes out to dry in the middle of the night. Wet clothes will easily allow stray radio waves to stick to them, making it difficult to get rid of them. In the ghost month when ghosts are everywhere, hanging clothes out to dry in the middle of the night is like setting a trap to catch ghosts. If it doesn’t bother you, who else will it bother? 3. Don’t celebrate your birthday in the middle of the night. When you celebrate your birthday at night, there will most likely be some unfamiliar “people” who will show up and sing Happy Birthday together. It’s better to celebrate during the day. 4. Do not catch dragonflies and katydids, because people believe that these two insects are the incarnation of ghosts. If you catch them indiscriminately, be careful not to attract ghosts. 5. Don’t even mention the word “ghost”. On the day of the Zhongyuan Festival, ghosts almost come out in droves and are everywhere. Especially the scene of the ceremony will definitely be filled with “ghosts”. Therefore, during the Zhongyuan Festival, it is best to be careful with what you say and do. In addition to avoiding saying the word "ghost", you should also not speak carelessly, because ghosts are around you! 6. Don't step on ghost paper randomly. Ghost paper is an offering to ghosts. When it is burned, ghosts will gather nearby to pick it up. If you step on or jump around when burning ghost paper, it is hard to guarantee that it will not hinder their actions. The ghosts will be angry and will naturally do something bad to you. 7. Don’t pat others on the shoulders. Everyone has three fires on their body, gathered on the shoulders and the top of the head, which will make ghosts afraid to approach. If you accidentally put out the fire, you may easily be possessed by a ghost. 8. Do not burn ghost paper on non-specific occasions, because ghost paper is burned for good brothers, and gold paper is burned for God. The result of burning ghost paper will only attract more good brothers. 9. Don’t whistle. If you whistle at night, be careful that your good friends like you. 10. Don’t swim, because your good brothers will play the game of “ghost kick” with you. If you are not careful, your life will be taken away.
