Description

Step into Singapore after dark and uncover the beliefs, traditions and stories of the Hungry Ghost Festival. During the Seventh Lunar Month, the gates of the spirit world are believed to open, allowing spirits to return to the world of the living. Journey through Chinatown’s historic streets, old shophouses and temples before ending along the Singapore River. Discover the meaning behind food offerings, incense and burning joss paper, and hear the fascinating taboos and folk beliefs surrounding wandering spirits. This is a journey into history, culture, superstition and our relationship with the unseen. Are they simply stories passed down through generations — or could there be something more?
