A netizen has shared his hilarious encounter during the Chinese Ghost Festival. The man managed to scares the hell out of the people who are offering their prayers to the wandering spirits during the Chinese 7th month.
Here the story:
“Just now, after dinner, I was taking a walk around the neighbourhood (exercise mah). When I walked past a convenient store I thought of going in to buy something. Then I realised that I didn’t have money with me. So I phoned my family to bring some money for me.
While waiting for my money, I saw an old man burning joss paper by the roadside. I went to have a chat with him.
“What are you doing here? ” I asked him.
“I am sending money to my family” he said.
Then he asked me, ” What are you doing here?”
“I am waiting for my family to send money to me.”
On hearing this, his face turned pale and he ran away quickly.
I shouted to him, “Hey, don’t run! I’m just waiting for my family to send money to me!
”Suddenly, all the people burning joss paper nearby also ran away!” ”
