The seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar, usually August, is believed to be the most inauspicious time of the year. It is called the Ghost Month, and it climaxes on the 14th day of the month when the Chinese celebrate the Festival of the Hungry Ghosts. They believe that hungry ghosts are the spirits of people who did not find everything they need to survive in the afterlife. If a ghost passes on without enough food, water, shelter or other material things, it will come back to scare the living and feed off their energy and fear.
