Just curious, how do they look like? I believe in God, hence I believe in spirits too.

First instance was a vaguely human shaped, gently luminescent form that I saw crouching in the corner of my bedroom in my first home when I woke from sleep one night. Probably no larger than a young child; I could gauge the size because I too was a young child then. I just lay there in bed and curiously observed it until I fell asleep once more. It never moved or acknowledged my presence. When I woke up, the sun was shining and the ghost was long gone.

Second instance was nothing more than an indistinct but prolonged movement seen out of the corner of my eye - the hint of someone descending the staircase, also of my first home. I was walking near the staircase at the time, but not directly facing it. When I turned to directly face the staircase, there was nobody there. There were only two people at home that evening - myself and my father. I thought it was him coming down the stairs and then quickly backtracking upstairs again, until he came in through the front door from where he had been tinkering with his car.

That old house and neighbourhood were interesting. I wasn't the only person to encounter ghosts there.

Interesting. What makes you think why a person sometimes can see ghost and sometimes cannot?

Also, in your opinion, is it good to be able to see ghosts at times?

Ordinary people see ghosts only when the ghosts decide to make themselves fully visible for whatever reason (frequently to impart a message), or when their spiritual makeup resonates with that of the ghosts for whatever reason (oftentimes this occurs when one is depressed or otherwise mentally ill, or when one is physically ill).

I can't fathom how being able to see them could possibly be considered a good thing.

Thank you, Sales, for bringing this momentous celebration to the forefront.

The Serpent Queller is a major player in the Chinese folk religion hierarchy, much respected by his fellow Heavenly gods and by the Hell beings, too.

Here is a picture of Tua Li Ya Pek bidding him a happy birthday.

Blast from the past - my teacher channeling Lord Zhang.

Picture dates from the early 1990s.

adding a chant for na zha , tiong tua guan suay ..

I heard lord zhang often travels to hell to do some stuff , too ? @nachtsider

Not sure if bro Nacht have written about him before. Can you share his background. When I was young, my grandfather used to pray to a deity with black face, not sure is it Lord Zhang or not

can you describe how he looked like ?

Looks like this but his face is more fierce and holding a sword if i'm not mistaken

It could well be him , huat zhu kong or北極玄天上帝

But I would go for huat zhu kong , 北極玄天上帝 is rare here


If you're hokkien by any chance , huat zhu kong is mostly revered by the hokkien community
