The 7th month of Lunar calender is considered a ghostly month, where the soul is out wondering around man’s world.
Here is one around cyberworld.





Jokes aside.
I do believe that apart from those dying of natural causes and probably of stricken disease, probably around this month is the safest month for many Chinese that believes that this is a ghostly month. I know of many friends actually postponed their outing around this time of the year, as it is a taboo to out and about being afraid of getting “pulled-in” by the wondering soul. If more are staying in, wouldn’t that make it safer to travel as the odd of getting run over by another ghost believing road rage moron is drastically reduced ?

[...] and elsewhere, and contrary to popular belief, it may actually be a safe month to travel, because all the superstitious thugs are staying indoors. [...]
