FESTIVAL CUSTOM (PRESUMABLY CHINESE)
THERE ARE A SEQUENCE OF GHOST FESTIVALS IN JULY IN
DIFFERENT VILLAGES, WHERE IF YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR
GHOST, YOU GET INSIDE A BAMBOO CAGE WHICH ORIGINALLY
HELD CHICKENS. THE THOUGHT BEHIND THIS IS THAT YOU
CAN OBSERVE YOUR GHOST WITHOUT BEING SEEN INSIDE THE
CAGE.

THE FIRST THING YOU SHOULD SAY ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH IS,
"RABBIT, RABBIT." SHOULD YOU FORGET, THEN THE LAST THING
BEFORE YOU GO TO BED (IT MUST BE BEFORE MIDNIGHT) YOU SHOULD
SAY IT BACKWARD, "TIBBAR, TIBBAR." YOUR LUCK WOULD NOT BE
AS GOOD BY SAYING IT AT NIGHT, BUT NOT AS BAD AS IF YOU
DIDN'T SAY IT AT ALL.
