From 23 August to 21 September 2025 (Ghost Day falls on 6 September), the seventh lunar month is believed to be a time when spirits from the afterlife wander among us.

Don&#8217;t stay out late<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once the sun sets, legend says that wandering spirits fill the streets. If you\u2019re heading out, grab a buddy. Ghosts are rumoured to target solo night owls for mischief. We\u2019re not saying you need to cancel your <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/supper-spots-singapore\/\">supper<\/a> plans, but maybe text someone if you\u2019re walking home alone for peace of mind!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-dont-be-alarmed-by-the-smell-of-smoke\"><\/span>2. Don\u2019t be alarmed by the smell of smoke<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>That smoky haze isn\u2019t the neighbour burning toast \u2013 it\u2019s joss paper offerings for ancestors. People burn paper money, cars, and even tech gadgets (yes, paper iPhones exist) as gifts for the afterlife. On the first, 15th, and last day of Ghost Month, expect extra ash swirling around. Spot a roadside fire or incense burning with food and drinks? That\u2019s a spirit\u2019s supper, so don\u2019t touch it!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-dont-open-an-umbrella-indoors\"><\/span>3. Don\u2019t open an umbrella indoors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Drying a wet umbrella inside your home might seem harmless. But during this festival, it\u2019s believed that this act invites spirits to take shelter under it (and linger longer than you\u2019d like). Keep umbrellas closed till you\u2019re safely outside \u2013 better safe than sorry!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_279256\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-279256\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-279256 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/hungry-ghost-festival-singapore-offering-table-900x643.png\" alt=\"hungry ghost festival singapore | offering table\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/hungry-ghost-festival-singapore-offering-table-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/hungry-ghost-festival-singapore-offering-table-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/hungry-ghost-festival-singapore-offering-table.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-279256\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Galen Crout via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-dont-move-into-a-new-home\"><\/span>4. Don&#8217;t move into a new home<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Moving into a new place during the Hungry Ghost Festival is a major no-no if you\u2019re superstitious. The idea is that you could be inviting spirits along with you, and the seventh lunar month is considered generally unlucky, so press pause on big life changes. If you can, wait until the festival ends to hand over the keys.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5-dont-renovate-your-home\"><\/span>5. Don\u2019t renovate your home<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Renovations and (even rearranging furniture) are discouraged. The belief is that spirits living in your home may get disturbed by all the noise and changes. If you\u2019ve got a renovation planned, you might want to delay it a few weeks.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-dont-get-married\"><\/span>6. Don&#8217;t get married<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Weddings and Hungry Ghost Festival don\u2019t mix in traditional circles. Since it\u2019s considered an inauspicious month, celebrating a joyful occasion like a wedding can be seen as disrespectful. On the bright side, wedding packages may be cheaper this month, so if you\u2019re not fussed about superstition, you might score a deal. Just check with the families first!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_279255\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-279255\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-279255 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/hungry-ghost-festival-singapore-dont-get-married-900x643.png\" alt=\"hungry ghost festival singapore | dont get married\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/hungry-ghost-festival-singapore-dont-get-married-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/hungry-ghost-festival-singapore-dont-get-married-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/hungry-ghost-festival-singapore-dont-get-married.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-279255\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Tr\u1ea7n Long via Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7-dont-kill-any-moths-or-insects\"><\/span>7. Don\u2019t kill any moths or insects<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Have you seen a moth at a funeral? The Chinese believe spirits can be reincarnated as insects, especially moths. So if you see any of these winged creatures crashing your home, nudge them out gently. They\u2019re probably just saying hello, or they could be a relative dropping by for a visit.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8-dont-hang-around-water\"><\/span>8. Don\u2019t hang around water<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Swimming pools and reservoirs, especially places like Bedok Reservoir, are said to be spots for drowned spirits to hang around during the festival. If you\u2019re feeling spooked, maybe skip late-night swims or waterside strolls for a few weeks.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9-dont-hang-your-laundry-to-dry-overnight\"><\/span>9. Don\u2019t hang your laundry to dry overnight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Leaving wet laundry out after dark is said to attract wandering spirits who might \u2018try on\u2019 your clothes and follow you indoors. But with Singapore\u2019s humidity, shouldn\u2019t you be drying laundry when the sun\u2019s still out?!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_239794\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-239794\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-239794 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/hungry-ghost-festival-laundry-hanging-to-dry-900x643.png\" alt=\"hungry ghost festival | laundry hanging to dry\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/hungry-ghost-festival-laundry-hanging-to-dry-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/hungry-ghost-festival-laundry-hanging-to-dry-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/08\/hungry-ghost-festival-laundry-hanging-to-dry.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-239794\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Brina Blum via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10-dont-place-your-chopsticks-vertically-in-a-rice-bowl\"><\/span>10. Don&#8217;t place your chopsticks vertically in a rice bowl<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sticking chopsticks upright in rice looks like joss sticks, so spirits might think you\u2019re inviting them to dinner. Unless you want to attract their attention, don\u2019t do it. As a big etiquette faux pas, your grandma will give you the side-eye.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11-dont-snoop-where-you-arent-supposed-to\"><\/span>11.

This month isn\u2019t the time for ghost hunts or exploring <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/most-haunted-places-in-singapore\/\">haunted places<\/a>. Even if you don\u2019t believe, why tempt fate when legends say spirits are extra active? Save the urban exploring for another month and stick to well-lit spots.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12-dont-photograph-offerings\"><\/span>12. Don&#8217;t photograph offerings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Snapping pics is considered disrespectful, and some say cameras can trap spirits.
