July 15th is the Ghost Festival, on this day all ghosts get a holiday and can relax in the Living World.
At midnight on the 14th, the Ghost gate opens and stays open until midnight on the 15th, all ghosts must return to the Underworld before the gate closes, otherwise, they will remain in the Living World and become wandering spirits!
At the same time, the entire lunar July is also the month with the heaviest Ghost Qi in the year, the number of wandering spirits increases, and at night one must not cry or whistle, as it is likely to attract all kinds of ghosts!
Children born on the Ghost Festival are called Ghost Kids, and it is said that those heavy with Yin Energy are easily debilitated, prone to cold stomachs and icy limbs, and more likely to attract evil spirits.
