7 Month Classic

​Confession by Amanda

I used to go out till late at night not believing in superstitions, until three years ago during the 7th month
Hungry Ghost Festival. Apparently something followed me back home. I would wake up at 5am everyday
during the 7th month having sleep paralysis and could see something running around the house, popping
in and out of my room. I was always alone when it occurred, and won’t be able to move until someone
could wake me up.

One night I woke up at 5am to see a lady in a red dress standing at my room door. I thought I was
hallucinating/dreaming, so I turned around, but when I turned back to check, she was still there. I was so
afraid I started chanting and called my friend on the phone to keep me company. I ignored her until the
sky turned bright, when I checked again, she was no longer there, but the next night at the same time, I
started hearing voices. People calling "hello hello" wanting me to turn around.

My mom then brought me to the temple to see a medium. They told me that my brows were too thin,
hence the reason some entities found it easy to follow me back home. These spirits were looking for a
replacement. The temple master called them Ti Shu Gui and asked if we would like him to catch it, but my
mom said no because it didn’t harm us. So just releasing them back into the wild would suffice. The
temple master also closed my third eye and I never experienced anything ever again.
