Science Vs Superstition

Avoid swimming during the seventh lunar month because water ghosts may drag you under
Do not hang wet clothes outside at night during Hungry Ghost month or spirits may “wear” them
Do not sit in the front row of getai shows because those seats are “reserved” for ghosts
Do not whistle, sing loudly, or stay out too late at night during Hungry Ghost month or spirits will follow you
Do not cut your nails at night or you will shorten your life or attract spirits
Do not point directly at the moon or your ear will be cut or scarred
Don’t clear the table while people are still eating, or the last diner will live a lonely life
Opening an umbrella indoors brings bad luck
Jumping on New Year’s Eve will make you taller
Saying “Good morning Mr. Magpie” or tipping your hat to a magpie averts bad luck
