A woman who seeking some luck with gambling decided to pick up one amulet from a master at Fu Lu Shou Complex(Rochor Street) but instead of luck, it was the beginning of her nightmares.

Here is the story:

I want to share my experience with the baby ghost amulet also known as ‘kun man tong’. I got a special version of it known as Kuman thong in the casket. Initially, I thought this will increase my luck and get more customers.

The master at Fu Lu Shou Complex told me that the amulet can help me regain my luck and even have the chance of blocking Black Magic attacks. I decided to buy 4D and I managed to win a small price that very day.

I thought that my luck will start to begin, however, my nightmare has just started.

The master instructed me to put the amulet in a good place and open the mini casket’s door and offer red sweet drinks (nam daeng) for the baby ghost every morning.

I did so for three days straight and I even managed to meet a new guy and my boss was being unusually nice to me.

I forgot on the 4th day and thought that I could give double the offerings on the 5th day. But after a week or two, I started to get lazy and constantly forget to give offerings.

Crying sound at night

I started to hear crying sounds at night and thought that I was dreaming. But I started to dream of a boy every night and the boy called me “mae mae aow hong leng” none stop I did not know what that means until I asked my Thai Friend. Its means “mom I want play thing or toy”.

I was so scared and I went to a toy shop and bought a small toy car to offer it and continued my daily offerings.

About another month, it seems that what I’m doing now was not enough. At night I got disturbed and my hair was pulled a few times that I could no longer take it.

I went to another master and he took a look at the amulet. He said that this is the real deal and these are typically made with the remains of a baby.

He told me to bring it to a temple and leave it at the altar. I did so and finally, I could have a good night sleep.

But after the amulet was left at the temple, everything was gone as well. I got fined for throwing a cigarette butt and the guy I met suddenly had a girlfriend.

A netizen shared a story about an experience he had on the first night of the Hungry Ghost Month.

Here is the story:

“It was the first day of the lunar 7th month, but to me it was a day just like any other.

I was visiting my girlfriend’s home at Ang Mo Kio, and we spent the whole day together just hanging out.

Soon it was evening and after we had dinner together, it was time for me to go home.

For some reasons, the corridor and staircase lights didn’t seem to be working very well that night.

The lights were flickering and a few of them were totally dead, but I paid no heed to it – I figured the Town Council would’ve fixed it soon enough.

I reached the ground floor and was walking to my motorcycle when i realized that I had forgotten my keys.

So I went back to the lift lobby and pressed the lift button.

The lift soon arrived and I entered, I pressed the button for the 12th floor where my girlfriend lived.

I looked up at the lift display and saw the lift going up: 1st storey… 2nd storey… 3rd storey…

But the lift then took me up to the 13th floor, skipping the 12th floor which I pressed, which was puzzling to me.

The lift doors then opened and the corridors outside were pitch black.

I stepped out of the lift and looked around me, all the corridor lights were completely off and the units were all in darkness (I could see inside the units through the windows).

I wasn’t sure what I was feeling but at the time I felt a sense of… How should I describe it… Like a sense of impending doom, like something bad was about to happen.

The hairs on the back of my neck stood on ends and I hurriedly returned to the lift.

I quickly closed the doors and pressed the 12th floor button.

I then went back to my girlfriend’s house and told her what happened, she seemed in disbelief.

It was then that I realised…

This HDB building only had 12 storeys…”
