"Spooky" Month

Today is the start of the lunar Hungry Ghost month. 

Haunted Toilet

Marieann told me that during orientation, her seniors told her about the ghost stories in her secondary school. 
Why is it that the school toilet is always haunted?! What's the relationship between ghosts and toilets? Even Harry Potter is not spared the haunted toilet for there is Moaning Myrtle haunting in Hogwart's first floor girls' bathroom! :P

7th Month

Today is the first day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar. I have warned the girls to be careful of where they walk/ step on (avoid walking over or onto offerings) and to be careful with their words about the supernatural stuff. I went to the temple as well in the morning to pay respects to my late grandparents (both maternal and paternal), a (maternal) grand aunt, two (maternal) uncles and a close family friend uncle. 

Ghost Month?

Not yet! But for some reason, I kept thinking that it is already ghost month. Even went to the temple as my mother has instructed me to do on her behalf during the ghost month only to find it is NOT ghost month yet. So embarrassing. :P Proposal writing is messing up my mind big time lol.

Ghost in the Fan

The girls and I were watching television in the living room after dinner. The fan, which was switched on, was behind us. Suddenly, the fan went "beep, beep, beep, beep, beep". The three of us turned behind to look at the fan when the "beeping" was still going on. Marieann whispered, "There's a ghost in the fan". Collectively, we shuddered and then we turned back to watching the tv with the fan still turning.

There are buttons on our fan that beep when they are pressed. Lately, our fan has been acting strangely. It "beeps" (switches) on and off on its own. Whenever that happens, I would check the timer on the fan but it is not activated at all! Ok with the single "beep" on and off, maybe I can still explain it as the "on/off" button being faulty. But with the continuous "beep, beep, beep, ..." it is like someone or something is pressing on the button continuously. I really have no explanation how that could happen, except...

Come to think of it, it is a wonder the three of us didn't just run off in terror when the "beep, beep, beep, beep, beep" started lol.
