Red Shirts

[Morgo]

My village has taken to hanging a red shirt at their front boundary. On a recent road trip to Ubon, I noticed other villages are doing the same.

At first I thought the significance was political, but I have been assured it is not political and has a spiritual or a supersititious meaning.

Can anyone shed light on the meaning.

Plenty of redshirts hanging in front of village houses in parts of Sisaket and Ubon at the moment. Was in a village in rural Phibun Mangsaharn the other day and ate in a noodle shop with a redshirt hanging out front. It had a handwritten cardboard sign above saying "This house has women, you should be told". Apparently, quite a few young men had died inexplicably in the village of late, and this was considered the logical remedy. The female ghost who was taking them, doesn't like red colour or the presence of other women. And luckily she can read Thai. Man Utd shirts were a favourite ghost-scaring tool!
