My friend's wife woke up at night because someone touched her and whispered into her ear.

No, it was not her husband since they sleep in separate rooms, because he is snoring and she is farting (a bit fat actually).

Next morning she was confused. She could remember the touch and the word. "Come".

She decided to invite the top monks of 3 temples to come and stay overnight.

Also she ordered a handmade naga statue - 2m high - which is now protecting the house.

It was a big party and since then (5 months) she sleeps very well.

All attendants believed in this story.

Would you?

And....do you believe in ghosts or your Partner?

yeah.

plenty on soi 6.

 

mark.

No ghosts. She has a mental illness, the kind that is starved for attention using delusional story telling.

Ghosts & Religion can both best be described as superstitious nonsense.

Many insist that I am a ghost. I tell every Thai person I meet that I really want to meet a ghost. Please.

Monks aren't allowed to spend the night in the same house as a woman, whether she farts or not. If they stayed there and she didn't that would be acceptable. A statue isn't going to protect anyone from ghosts nor anything else. Ghosts have never physically hurt anyone as it's all superstition and BS handed down through generations. I do believe there are spirits and have see their actions a few times back in the US.

 

I worked at a sporting goods store, selling guns and fishing and hunting supplies. I was told there was a ghost there when I first started working there. I often closed the gun bar at night, and was there in my section with another person who tidied up the aisles while I counted guns and did the computer work on them.

 

When I was standing at the gun bar, I watched as items on the end cap started to sway. This happened three separate times on different days. No one was anywhere near where I was working and they just started to move back and forth. I told others about this and they said, oh yeah, that's the ghost.

 

I watched as items fell to the floor from the top shelves 3 times, and heard them falling a couple more times, again no one around.

 

At my home, when I was married, my wife had a small terrier. Two times he ran into the bathroom and jumped in the tub very frightened and shaking. In that same house, two times I was home alone watching TV in my bedroom and I saw someone walking past in the hallway,  just a glimpse, a shady figure of a person. Heard noises many times I couldn't figure out . Yes, I'm sure there are "ghosts" around, but they cannot hurt anyone as they don't have a physical body.

 

I was told by a relative here that my house here has a ghost, even as the building was just being finished . She was supposedly good at this. I had heard they were only supposed to be in houses where someone has died. I hear things all the time here, besides the birds on the roof, at night. Doors I've closed open, knocks on walls, but it means nothing to me as it's just "ghosts", and I don't fear them. 

It was a burglar.

There are ghosts everywhere.

Same thing happened to me once in my life.

I went to a seminar. It was an old building next to a cemetary (no joke).

I was awakened in the middle of the night by what seemed like a gust of wind (the windows were closed) and someone tapping me on my back (there was no one else there). 

And the lights were flickering.

Absolutely a ghost 1000%.

It's a rule here.

No, it's common sense. An inanimate object has no powers. Of course others believe in all sorts of things.

Not quite right.

There is physical power and psychological power.

There are many variations on the rules, saying no, saying allowed but not in same room, saying another man should be present etc..............

4: It is mentioned in the Vinaya rules that a monk is not allowed to reside under the same roof with a woman.

No, there is fear of being hurt physically and fear of things that can't hurt you unless you let them. No power  but a person's own weakness from being taught a lie.

Your sense of humour for a start knobhead 

IME most Thais believe in ghosts . The GF has a guest house and has to hang around in the evening when it`s dark . She told me she has seen a ghost ( Winyarn )  of someone who used to live in the vacinity . I`ve not seen anything myself and am sceptical on the subject . The human brain can generate all kinds of false images and sensations which have no basis in reality . As regards spirits being able to move things about , as one Buddhist monk said - ghosts don`t eat food , so where do they get the energy from to do these things ?

If you have ghosts, you need a Super Boondee Ghost Repeller.

For some reason it's no longer available.

Red Fanta!!

Ghost tales in Thailand .... 

 

Are there a lot of accidents at this intersection? 

Ratchaprasong Intersection:

A busy intersection, it's also the site of Prince Chudadhuj Dharadilok's palace and several Hindu shrines, with a reputation for being cursed or haunted. 

 

Doi Suthep National Park:

Visitors to this park in Chiang Mai have reported seeing a female hitchhiker in white at various points along the road. 

 

Wat Samian Nari:

This temple is the subject of a local legend where taxi drivers are flagged down by two beautiful women in black, who disappear after getting into the taxi. 

 

Suvarnabhumi Airport:

There are stories circulating that Suvarnabhumi Airport is haunted, with reports of spirits causing issues with operations, and authorities even building special accommodation for the spirits.
