To some, it's the beginning of noisy month as some places do stage performance for the ghost month.

Why can't they turn down the volume?

The Ghost Month 2023 is from August 16 to September 14.
The Ghost Festival or Hungry Ghost Festival starts tommorow.

Are you scared? Do you have any stories to share?
During the last 7th month, some families are very cautious.

Do you feel the same way?
The 7th lunar month, also known as the Ghost Month, is rooted in Buddhist and Taoist culture, where the souls of the dead are believed to roam the earth.

From making offerings of food, money and entertainment to returning home early, there are plenty of dos and don’ts during the Hungry Ghost Festival.
Worried about certain taboos that may affect your home safety? Read on to distinguish the myths and truth.
Don’t move into a new home

Somehow, we have been indoctrinated to believe that we will invite spirits into our humble abode should we move house during this month. Well, it’s perfectly fine to move house during the 7th lunar month.
If you’re still worried, simply arrange for an auspicious date with your fengshui (geomancy) Master for you to move. You may even bring in good fortune for the entire family!

Don’t conduct home renovation

Legend has it that spirits might haunt you if you were to disturb their rest due to your renovation works. Though, we’re pretty sure that you’ll be more concerned about your angry neighbours instead.
Once again, renovating during the 7th lunar month is no cause for concern. You may want to worry about the home renovation costs instead.

Don’t kill the insects in your home

Time for a fact check! The traditional custom of not killing any insects, especially moths, is followed within 7 days of any of your family members’ passing. This has little to do with the 7th lunar month.

Having pest infestation at home is no joke. Let the experts do the killing.
Take down that wind chimes
Windchimes are not recommended as a home decorNotice the similarity of a Chinese funeral prayer and wind chimes? According to Grand Master Tan, spirits are attracted to the sound of wind chimes. Hence, it is best not to hang any wind chimes decorations at home.
Burn offerings to wandering spirits

Nevertheless, be careful not to step on these offerings as you may get burnt.
