The Hungry Ghost Festival takes place during the seventh month of the lunar calendar. The traditional “month of the ghosts” is said to be a time when the gates of hell open and spirits are free to roam among us in the human plane. So, what can we expect to happen this month and what should we do if we bump into a spectral presence? Post reporter Lisa Cam gathered some advice as she joined Chinese medium Lawrence Leung for a ghost tour of Hong Kong.

Can we have a mini-series with this medium please? My personal religious/spiritual beliefs are more 'Abrahamic', but it's still interesting to learn about how other religions and faiths tackle the issue of the supernatural and the paranormal. Can the next interview with him be about 'possession' and his views and commentary on how this is portrayed in shows and movies?
Is it just me or Cantonese language sounds beautiful on the ears?
It's just you. It is boorish and uncouth compared to Mandarin.
Agree. Cantonese sounds aloy better than mandarin.
Shanghainese sounds the best
No 😅
Definitely. Cantonese sounds much more pleasing compared to Putonghua
Whenever I had to be hospitalised, I dreaded the night because I'd see spirits everywhere. One time I had trouble walking down the hallway, I felt like I was being held back by invisible hands. When I told a nurse about it, she said it was a former Doctor who liked to hang around in that particular spot. She then said she could see my Father standing beside me. She freaked me out because I never talked about his passing when I was in the hospital.
Humsup Gwai is the most potent type of ghost
i think is kong gwai
Great to hear SCMP celebrate local HK traditions.
hungry ghost festival is not unique to HK though
@@hehe-mq2bk true but each locality celebrates it differently.
We must prepare for hungry ghost festival
Did you ask him if he believes in ghost? It is very interesting. I can almost understand most of the Cantonese.
Of course. The medium claimed he cld sense spirits.
That first area was a creepy vibe
couldn't concentrate on the content as I was distracted by his perspirations ... must be hot and humid
It's summer in HK. Usually rain n thunderstorm.
Really interesting how his ideas of ghosts aligns a lot with what western mediums say. Wouldn’t mind seeing more of him.
Yes. Was thinking the same.
So funny man
.😂....so I should start cursing now
Really liked this episode, this kind of content is really entertaining SCMP! Thank you.
👻👻👻Wow, it’s already the Ghost Festival these days. Master Lawrence should be asked to tell more stories about the spiritual world, taboos, treatment techniques, etc... This interview clip is really too short (the topic of psychics has always been what we are most interested in around the world, and he really expressed it well )
This is interesting:) Hello from Bucharest, Romania - a huge underrated city in Europe:) Known also as "Little Paris"!
In Melbourne, there are old architectural landmarks with long-standing ghost stories. The guy's explanations are very pleasant and easy to understand. He must have more stories and professional sharing to make another video. Please arrange for him again. I highly recommend it.
My favourite News channel is
South China Morning Post. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
"Kan Kwai" (bad guys in Cantonese) is the most scary kwai.
As Tony Leung Chiu-wai once joked to his wife Carina Lau when she asked him which kind of kwai is the most scary one ?
Yesterday morning at about 7am, I also saw the shadows of ghosts all over the street on the side of the road in Tai Kok Tsui. At that time, under the brown sky and the tear-like yellow rain, they seemed to be looking for something while walking... Okay Ask your senior Lawrence?
Victoria Road, Kennedy Town, especially near the morgue!!! Always get goose bumps there!
yes! And also I don't like the trees near the bus station and the one in the road.
YES! that Kennedy town park I saw them at the corner and one of the trees there.
Thanks SCMP and Lawrence~
I just watched this quality and excellently described video. The Ghost Festival in July has this thousands of years of tradition.🙌👏👏👏
Too real~ Wish there were more related topics
Clearly, the person writing the subtitles does not understand what ‘lunar calendar’ means.
“Seventh month of the lunar calendar” ≠ July
How can such a basic mistake happen???
With the understanding July is the 7th month.
@@geinikan1kan July is the seventh month in the solar calendar. But the sheer fact that we now have mid-August as the HGF approaches should have prompted the subtitles writer to realise something was wrong in their translation.
@@venanziadorromatagni1641 with the understanding that when we are in the 7th lunar month we are already in Gregorian August (the 8th month).
@@geinikan1kan Did you even watch the video? The subtitles DIDN’T say “Seventh month” they mistakenly said July. I was the one commenting on that. Now you try to act as if you had to explain it to me. Which I guarantee you, you don’t.
@@venanziadorromatagni1641 yes and by July they meant the 7th lunar month. It’s a choice. It might not be clear but in Chinese the seventh month is July. Months are numerated.
Great advice from Lawrence. Please thank him.👍🏽
Spooky 👻 stay safe 🙏
Excellent questions.👍🏽
Lawrence, he looks like he's seen one too many.
5:33 i can see
July 14 actually had something happened this year.
Any great chinese ghost movie suggestions?
The Eye（2002） is my fav movie. A collaboration between Hong Kong and Singapore production.
Trouble some night
@@Codychung-s5y lol Haven't seen that, I'll give that a watch👌🏻
search for "My Left eye can see Ghost" or 我左眼見到鬼 (very realistic) and 倩女幽魂
"my left eye sees ghost"
Stupidity at it’s best!! They should have done something during covid!! Crazy!
How come you avoid hospital if you work there 😂😢
Maybe all the hospital doctors and staff will pray daily for a smooth and safe working day. I think they have encountered wandering spirits around the hospital regardless if it's the 7th Lunar Month.
個人認為灣仔同大帽山係最多靈體聚集之地
The ghost is next to him that's why he sweats a lot
Hungry-👻👻👻?
In the country of little-3rd-brotha.
Which is ranked 111th on the hunger-index of the UN.

Keep your fingers crossed when you pass through a dark place😅
Mardi gras for ghosts 🥳🎉
Sit down n yam char.
That's why Cantonese people are goated.
Dude is definitely high on something 😂
Go away. You are clearly in the wrong place.
this is true. don’t joke around.
You mean like you when you preach about your religion?
It's ghost new year😅. Human stay at home
I find believing in Jesus helps!
i don't think so .... these are chinese ghosts
wrong religion and culture. -100 points. fail. that's an F. get out of the class you're expelled
Do you know Jesus was a Jew and he have encountered Buddhism in India and went back to Middle East to preach love instead of compassion ...
@@tonyquek1 I've heard Jesus work in a Chinese context!
@@candlelit33 still think he works :)
Superstition is the impediment to the advancement of humanity.
Sham
See the thing is ghosts aren't real so.........
Well back then they didn’t have science or facts so they came up with theories and made people believe in them 😂😂
Who is that sitting on your shoulders.
@@frankiechong3819 your mom
Prove it.
@@mawmawd627 The burden of proof is on people saying something exists that has never ever ever been documented. Same people don't have to prove they don't exist, the cuckoo birds have to prove it does...

Ghost doesnt exist... Proof me wrong... I dare you
You haven't watched 晚吹 - 總有一瓣喺左近 or edmondpoon show
Edmondpoon had a Hong Kong pastor talked about exorcism, that's about Demons, a high level.
TV Show Medium about Allison Dubois. She is still alive and proved it to the police, that Ghost exists
Clark Thomas Robinson John Young Maria
BS
😂😂😂 Didn't Mr Xi advise the population not to be superstitious?
Didnt PM Surrendra Moo-di said that little-3rd-brotha will be a superpower in 2020?
So where are the HSR of little-3rd-brotha?
Yes the Chinese Comnunist Party has a rule that all its members must be atheist. This is because according to communist ideology, the priest class has used religion to manipulate the lower working classes into giving them undeserved power.
But the Chinese government understood that such beliefs will not simply disappear overnight. So they tolerate it but if you want to be part of the new upper class, the party members, you’re not allowed to believe in all this nonsense.
It’s ironic that the original communist goal was to create a classless society where everyone is a worker of the government and everything is shared equally. But in every single country that became communist, the government officials essentially replaced the old aristocrats and live much better than the peasants who work on farms or in factories. Anyway China’s not even really communist anymore.
Proving that nonsense isn't exclusive to Christianity.
