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.
Submitter comment:
INFORMANT ACTUALLY OBSERVED THIS EVENT IN HIS OWN
