Put chilli and onion under a tree to “ask” the rain to stop for outdoor events
After attending a funeral, people should not go straight home and should wash or sprinkle water to avoid bringing spirits back
Do not place a mirror directly facing the bed or you will attract third parties into the relationship or restless spirits

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
