Mystical Isaan village issues 9 rules after a series of mysterious deaths

[snoop1130]

 

A mystical village, Ban Khop Klang Nuea, in the Isaan province of Kalasin established nine strict rules in response to a series of mysterious deaths, with 15 reported in January.

 

Channel 7 reporters visited a village in the Huai Mek district of Kalasin province to interview locals in the area about the nine rules to avoid sudden deaths. The media reported that the village was far from the city centre of the province, and it was over 30 kilometres away from the main road.

 

A sign suggesting the strict rules was installed at the entrance to the village. The sign read, “Stop and read the rules of the village.” The nine rules included…

 

1. Do not bring dead bodies from other places into the village.
2. Do not kill four-legged animals within the village.
3. Do not stock or mill rice on the 8th, 14th, and 15th of each month.
4. Do not bring blady grasses into the village on the 8th, 14th, and 15th of each month.
5. Do not bring firewood into the village on the 8th, 14th, and 15th of each month.
6. Do not bring soil or stones into the village on the 8th, 14th, and 15th of each month.
7. Do not stock charcoal in houses on the 8th, 14th, and 15th of each month.
8. Do not hang cow legs when transporting meat into the village.
9. Do not burn wood to create charcoal in the village.

 

A local in the village, 62 year old Kham-u, revealed to Channel 7 that she and other people in the community have followed these rules for a long time. These rules were established after a series of mysterious deaths in the past.

 

After the series of deaths, the temple abbot invited a skilled monk into the village to perform a ritual to ward off evil spirits. Then, the abbot and people in the village imposed the nine rules, and the mystical situation improved.

All reasonable rules IMO . It will not reduce death but would certainly make the less mysterious.

what about the serial killer on the loose ?

[ericthai]

typical Thai reporting, how about the rest of the story... the 15 people that died in January, how did they die? how old where they? Did they all die from the same thing? 

[rwill]

10.  Do not die in our village.  500 baht fine.

Why not invite a skilled team of pathologists to investigate the deaths....

Ohh okay never mind.

Exactly. There must have been autopsies, right? 15 unexplained deaths, some young? No foul play?

I always refer to the country as a lunatic asylum. Mostly what goes on can be put down to a total lack of common sense and no sense of logic. You just have to shake your head, and sometimes count slowly to 100 before carrying on with life as if it's normal.

[brianthainess]

May I suggest their local hospital needs a new doctor with psychiatric skills. 

[brianthainess]

The Village head said violators of the rule will be hit with a 500 baht fine will be imposed and the fine saved for temple restorations. So the Monks gain from this IMO. 

   Just another scam to bleed the poor uneducated locals of more money.

A monk or the village head after more money maybe. Donations are not filling the pockets.

Gray area between medicine and ethics contains lots of patients. Relations with those patients are complicated. All you can do is check the health of villagers who accept help from relevant authorities.

Yes almost comparable to people who pray in front of a cross and hope for miracles.
