Hungry Ghosts Festival is a traditional Chinese festival celebrated by Chinese in many countries. The Seventh Lunar Month of the year is the Ghost Month and the Thirteenth Day is the Ghost Day.
In ghosts’ month, ghosts and spirits (wondering spirits and those of deceased ancestors) will come out from underworld. They will enjoy stage shows, enjoy food, drinks and goodies offer to them, as well as visiting their living descendants and friends. Many living descendants will pay respect to their ancestors too.
In ghost day, three realms of heaven, hell and living are open. Thus, many Taoists and Buddhists will perform rituals for the sufferings of the deceased. It is a kind of ancestor worship to show their filial piety to the ancestor. At the same time it’s also a kind gesture for offering those deceased without living descendants (wondering ghosts).
Activities include preparing food offerings, burning incense and joss paper, as well as Paper Mache such as clothes, shoes, cars, TV and other fine goods for the visiting spirits of the ancestors.
Temporary performance stages (七月歌台) set up for arties to sing and dance. are set up for arties to sing and dance. Some traditional opera shows and puppet shows are available too. First row of empty audience seats are reserved for the spirits/ghosts. Elaborate meals would be served with empty seats too for each of the deceased in the family treating the deceased as if they are still living.
We must feed them, pray for them, buy them gift, entertain them….and most importantly….show them respect.

HEADHUNTING – The Shuar
Headhunting is in modern time is prohibited worldwide. However, it is a practice that has taken place during the pre-colonial era. It happens in Japan, China, Indonesia, New Zealand, Philippines, ancient Europe etc. One that really stuns the world is ……THE SHUAR – The Headhunter Tribes in Amazon Basin.
The Shuar is a fierce warrior tribes that practice headhunting. All boys who had turn into man once they had their puberty would be lead by the experience elderly to go for headhunting to display manhood. They hunt for their enemy, killed and beheaded them, particularly those that invaded their territory.
The Shuar lives in rainforests and savannas of the Amazon. They are so fierce that non had taken them as colony. They believe that by stinking their enemy’s head, it blocks enemy’s spirit from using its powers to harm them back and they can attain the power of victim. The mouth and eyes are being sewed to prevent the spirit from escaping. It also served as a way of warning those enemies.
Trade in shrunken heads
In the 19 century, some westerner had managed to develop more trust and friendly relationship with the Shuar and manage to trade freely the Shrunken Human Heads. The Shrink Heads (known as Tsantsa) are being displayed at home as rare art piece or to show off to friends in dinner feasts. A stop was put to this when the Peruvian and Ecuadorian governments worked together to outlaw the traffic in heads.
Currently, replica shrunken heads made from leather are manufactured for tourist as ornaments.
Process
The skull was removed from the head from the back of the head. Internal flesh was removed. Red seeds are placed underneath the eyelids and sewed them shut. The mouth was held and sewn shut. The Shuar will hold the hair of the head and boiled them in hot water. Water is hot but not boiling as boiling water will leads to hair falling off from the skull. It will then be dried with hot rocks and sand placing in the head. Preparer will mold the head to retain its human feature. Some decorative beads and items may be added to the head.

ALIEN AUTOPSIES – ROSWELL INCIDENT
On 1947, July 7, recovery of materials near Roswell, New Mexico, USA was found which leads to endless and intense speculation, question and rumors. The views are so divergent. Some says that it is US military top-secret research balloon that crashed but many believe the wreckage was a crashed UFO craft. It is then rank the most famous UFO incident.
Videos are also flooding the internets showing “alien corpses” seen in the New Mexico desert. Whether it’s really the real thing or just dummies from medical lab(Aero Medical Laboratory at Wright Air Development Center, codename, "Area 51")…..Well……..believe it or not. You judge.
