The Blue Faced Ghost At Suvarnaboom

[leisurely]

I read in the airport forum about the blue faced ghost who was believed to be haunting the new airport (should I just say airport now) supposedly because it was built on a cemetary. I don't understand . I thought that Thai people cremated their dead. Wny would you have a cemetary. Could someone enlighten me?

Yeah.... you would expect a ghost of a person who has been creamated to be red and blistered not blue....

Thats reserved for frozen ghosts

The Wat near my home had bodies uncovered from graves by flood waters a few years ago. I asked the same question about burial and was told these bodies were of murdered people.

I'm also interested in more information on burial.

Chinese put their dead ones into the land.

My wife is afraid of such places, even in europe and even I told her european ghosts are harmless.

But where comes the blue face from? Any specialists on ghost colors?

[Head Snake]

That's our Poo.

Interesting. Still as someone said on another forum - the airport one in fact, there are a number of christians around and they do bury their dead, or at least used to, now of course they cremate them too.

The graves you find in Thailand are either Muslim - although none under the new airport - the rest are Chinese - those of Taoist belief mainly (excluding the old Christian graveyards, one of the biggest and oldest of which was very sadly dug up and replaced with buildings on Silom road around 2002/2003)

If there is no one accident with dead people and someone tells the blue face ghost was there, than they can forget the asian hub idea. Than they can make it a farang airport and reopen Don Muang as asian airport (with ghost free guarantee)

Thought the airport was built on a huge swamp

[Maizefarmer]

Nice One Geoff - yes , it is built on a swamp - I dont know where the grave story came from, as it was a swamp for literally thosuands of years before the airport was biult - land that had never been used before for anything.

A swamp ghost, obviously a drowned person, hence the cyanosed or blue face

It seems no matter where there are new buildings, somebody will start a ghost rumour, which makes sure any staff that is required to do security checkups dont dare go check fire escapes and such... Safety first.... and since ghosts are decidedly unsafe... better not check that the fire escape is ok.

I remember when I was 19 years old (about 7 years ago) me any my friends dared ourselfs to go to this cemetry (in coogee) at 2 am, we all thought we were tough and we walked through there, we were walking though it just reading a few plaques. then all of a sudden the caretaker comes out of no-where and yell "what the ###### are you doing here".

we all shit out pants hard and started screaming like girls and did the bolt. We would never play around with that stuff again

[ThaiPauly]

Maybee it was the Blue Faced, Box Head ghost

His alter ego wandering aimlessly around HIS big project

[OldAsiaHand]

Maybe it's looking for a bribe to go away.

Maybe it's looking for a bribe to go away.

the suvarnabumi project has been underway for over 40 years. thats plenty of dead engineers, politicians surveyors and who could have unfinished business.

Somebody told the story of a security guard (I think) who saw the supposed ghost, and then complained that he never asked for tommorow's lottery number. (Ghosts or spirits are always up on that kind of info). I said that if I saw the ghost while I came through the airport I'd wai him very respectfully and politely request the lottery number. Unfortunately, I didn't meet him when I went through the airport.

Maybe it's the spirit of someone who was killed while working on the airport construction? Do you know the (honest to god) true story of the ship the Great Eastern? The Great Eastern was one of the early steam ships. Was built in the U.K., on the Clyde river shipworks (I think). It always had bad luck, and ended its days being moored as an advertising poster. When it was finally scrapped, a skeleton was found inside the inner metal hull. It is believed that a worker probably fell from the scafholding into the hull during the construction. The ship was always thought to be cursed and haunted by those who sailed on it, and it was a financial disaster to the owners.

But I don't really rhink that has anything to do with our Phi in Thailand.
