A medium typically stays in trance for a maximum of 2-3 hours.

The consequences include serious physical/mental injury, or even death.

This thing that occurs to your in-law - where does it happen, and under what circumstances?

Typically at home, not frequent, I've heard hubs talked about it once or twice, and it happens when we have serious discussions in the family.

One time the "voice" said "do you want to hear what i have to say?" then they shook her awake d.

I did not personally hear it, but that's what it was told by hubs.

yeah some ppl do suddently get i trance one...haha...dunno why...

My recommendation is to first seek medical and/or psychiatric advice.

no no not me...if me i want be chatting with you here...lol

A number of mental illnesses can present in such a fashion.

Dissociative identity disorder (split personalities) is one, but this condition is VERY rare.

I would first try to rule out a non-supernatural cause before casting suspicion on ghosts or other paranormal influences.

I try to utilise my emergency physician's practicality where it comes to dealing with problems of all sorts, including presentations that are apparently paranormal in nature.

Being bothered by ghosts can drive one into a depressive state or melancholy, yes. It can even make one suicidal, yes. But this is a resolvable state of emotional breakdown/upheaval rather than an actual diagnosis of mental illness. Indeed, such people usually do not tick all the boxes required for a diagnosis of the sort to be made; they would be classified sane if reviewed by a competent psychiatrist.

The souls of those who die before their time, particularly those who fall victim to tragic accidents or violent incidents, often do end up earthbound, yes, although not always.

It is the trauma of their death and an inability to come to terms with their demise that weighs them down like an anchor, preventing them from 'spreading their wings' and leaving.

Moreover, dying before your time can result in the Hell deities not knowing that you are dead, and therefore not coming to collect you.

Given that one can only reincarnate or elevate to a higher realm after they have left this world for the next, this leaves the earthbound in a bit of a pickle.

Certain rituals can help to free the earthbound from their torment and help them cross over.

What should be done is to notify the local Hell deities that there is an earthbound spirit at this particular location.

Ghosts cannot use physical objects; clearly she has still not come to terms with her death and is quite confused/distressed.

Gateways to Hell are not linked to any physical object.

I mean, come on - do you really expect a glass sheet made in China to have any supernatural qualities?

Dr. Natch, can shed some lights on this deity known as Datuk Tua?

@nachtsider This was taken off google streetview, based on an image a couple years ago, it's outdated because when looking at my house in the view it doesn't have the awnings build up yet, we got it done more than a year already.

This location hasn't been painted red, but recently i went pass it is fully red, not sure why..



And I noticed this does not say "tua yee pek" but after painted red it does say "Tua yee pek" with some flags you see during the 7th lunar month where people normally put on the streets tat type.

Red is a Heavenly colour, not one normally associated with Hell deities.

The only reason I can think of that this place uses red is that there might also be Heavenly gods inside.

half open means u can go peep lah...

Public venue.

No one will fault you.

That does indeed look like a Na Zha medium.

Na Zha mediums often wear robes of yellow, which corresponds to the Earth element and the Central cardinal direction.

These are substitutes.

Little paper effigies that are used to absorb individual devotees' misfortune in a special ritual.

After the misfortune is transferred from the devotee to the paper effigy, it is then burned.

The Lay Buddhist Society does not count.
