Did not know singapore has such festival at the cemetery during chinese ghost festival. Very interesting and well documented. Hope the traditional will carry on.
It’s gorgeous right the festival. I live in sg so long this is the first time I went to partake in the cemetery festival. I can imagine this might be new to most of us so I wanted to share it with you all
damn nicely done...the exit was amazing!like the others mentioned,this is impressively interesting in coverage is detailed for understanding the whole occasion!
I like the way Eugene mentioned that it was strangely comforting while he walked past the tombstones. Compassion being a driver of appeasing the spirits may have brought up this feeling in him.
I find this reportage on the rich Chinese folk religion very insightful and interesting! Thanks very much since I am intrigued by the practice and belief system !
I think it's different for each of the SEA countries celebrating it. Local culture has a part to play in the uniqueness of it. I heard Taiwan even bigger celebration, got dancers and all
@@SupernaturalConfessions singapore hokkien community more avid taoist i think.Its like a big celebration in the chinese cemetary.I wont mind attending one even if I m a catholic.
12:42 lol 😂 almost the same cost from Halloween Horror Nights back home. This year will you be doing some screenings there Eugene? This year featuring Singapore haunting and the infamous Jiangshi too
would love for the release of the in depth explanation of the different deities ranks? not too sure... I am always kind of confused about why especially tua li ah pek wear different colours
@@adrianangg_ yup will need some time to work on that. Cos such things I need to research on a few front and piece together an interesting narrative that doesn’t sound like a boring social studies lesson in school
Boss Eugene, can share more on the part where Tua Li Ah Pek did your divination reading, its very interesting, especially when the reading is spot on, when the master did not have prior knowledge of you
This happened 5 years ago. Through a mutual friend Jane, the medium contacted me saying that Ah Pek had sent him to speak with me. I can’t remember the specific details what that reason was but during the meeting the medium said I had a very dark shadow over my face and that I should go visit him at his temple which I did the following week. When it was my turn, I sat down beside Ah Pek for my reading. He mentioned 5 things - all personal details that are not found online and definitely not something that Jane would have known. The next part was the cleansing process which required me to perform some merit-making tasks over a period of one month. Also to note; he didn’t collect anything from me not even an Ang Pow. He said want to give; next time when everything is better can come back and give.
Appreciate your effort for documenting this down, well edited and very insightful! May I know what's the title of the song used at 12.55 (sounds like dialect)? Thanks! 🙏
Music credit: 大二爷伯的故事 | 大二爺伯 Tua Li Ya Pek (1999年版) 朱峰 Zhu Feng Song Background: Originally written in 1995 as incantation for Tua Li Ya Pek possession (大二爺伯 Da Er Ye Bo; Black and White Impermanence). In 1999, the incantation is produced and released as song based on chinese opera melody honouring the Chinese traditions and folk religion. Tua Li Ya Pek is often heard in temples honouring the underworld deities, the song is sung by temple followers during Tang Ki (乩童 Spiritual Medium) worship. Underworld deities (Tua Li Ya Pek) possession incantation is sung instead of chanted as opposed to Chinese heaven deities. Thanks for asking about it. I like that song; it's got a soothing melody and I've been playing it on repeat. The one I used in my video has been sped up by 10% to fit the overall mood of the video.
@@SupernaturalConfessions Indeed, the music has a soothing melody. Immediately caught my attention when I first heard it in this video. Thanks for sharing the title of the song and the background as well, much appreciated!
Never insult race, cultural and religious beliefs.If anyone whoever does not belief all this that means how much is you knowledge depth & understanding life.There is truth in all and a mix of add on like commercial interest. FACTS IS FACTS. We do not know before birth we are from and after death where we go.
Took me a couple of reads but I think I know what you’re getting at. We don’t know enough about life and the world to be so certain that we are right and others are wrong. So we should all keep an open mind and perhaps the more we discover the more we understand.
Correction. This festival is only celebrated in HK, SG, Taiwan and Malaysia. However, it's a completely unheard of forgotten cultural festival in China after the CCP cultural revolution that banned all religions, tore down temples, churches and mosques and punish all who believes in superstitious religions. Only the CCP Emperor is allowed to be worshipped by the people. I guarantee you nobody in China will know or remember anything about this festival. No need to go China conduct street interview. Just observe all the ah Tiong in SG you come across to see if any of them celebrate or even heard of this festival when they were back in China before coming to SG. 99% of PRC today born after the cultural revolution doesn't have a religion
ah thanks for this added info. Now that you mentioned it, I think I heard something about CCP ban on such things. And to think that this culture initially came from China
It's still practiced in China in southern provinces like Guangdong Fujian Guangxi hainan. There is also a ghost parade held in the fifteenth say at Chongqing China
Hey Eugene, do you know what the lyrics and language the medium are chanting when they are trancing? I have always wondered what they are trancing haha

TBH i rather ride hailing platforms charge a surcharge & we can get a ride from “less desirable” locations be it bird no lay egg places like sungei gedong or punggol, or “scary” places like cemeteries. Rather than no surcharge & no driver wants to go.
@@SupernaturalConfessions $100 for 2 way journey is 😓 but at least u got a ride. I was unable to get a ride from that place they do the in-land ash scattering opposite Muslim cemetery.

I don't understand. If there's reincarnation after certain time, then why still offer food, money etc for the deceased. They are reincarnated, born again and become somebody else. Isn't it?
@@evelynho3420 it’s a great question. I’m going to try to answer this based my own understanding which will likely differ from monotheistic religious doctrines. Each life we live, every existence we have on this plane, we leave behind a part of our soul fragment. We learn, we reincarnate, we live, we die. At the end times, when we are ready to ascend to wherever we need to go, all the soul fragments come back to us to make us whole as we are judged for our deeds. To tally the ledger, so to speak. Which is why psychics are able to look into past lives, and how descendants or people who venerates our past existence also benefits who we are in the following life times. In the spirit world, we exist in the past the present and in the unwritten all at once. Time is not linear. You see reincarnation as a reset, and that as souls, we can only be at one place at one time. But I think it’s just an ongoing series featuring the same soul protagonist which is ourselves. Hope my attempt to make sense of your question gives you some insights.
Hell has many different concepts. Some people that earth is purgatory and we are all in hell already without realising it. Ghost King offered to show me hell the next time I go see him

Whether one believes in this or not, you gotta admit ultimately it all boils down to compassion in wanting to help the souls
Yes. The root of it all is compassion.
Interesting Eugene, appreciate your documentation of our traditions as they get less and less common with the modernisation of our society.

【大二爺伯陰神咒】歌词
香起沉沉應乾坤
應開森羅保殿門
森羅保殿專拜請
拜請東嶽大二爺
大爺問吾何事請
陰風陣陣到殿前
頭戴一頂大吉帽
身穿白袍管夜差
左手令牌判陰陽
正手金扇斷吉香
東嶽殿前奏分明
由命領差降來臨
劍決陰間善惡事
兇善罪惡千古傳
寒冤受苦保照生
無為不作押地獄
三魂七魄請降符
降符童身謝分明
弟子一心三拜請
拜請東嶽大二爺
弟子一心三拜請
拜請東獄大二爺
五卒將軍到殿前
陰兵火急急如律令
The fragrance rises and sinks, echoing the universe
Open the gate of Mori Luobo Palace
A special invitation to Mori Luoboden
Say hello to Mr. Dongyue
The uncle asked me what I wanted to do
The dark wind gusts to the front of the temple
Wearing a big hat
Wearing a white robe and working the night job
The left hand token determines yin and yang
Forehand golden fan cuts off Jixiang
The prelude to Dongyue Hall is clear
Coming by command
The sword determines the good and evil deeds in the underworld
Evil, good and evil stories through the ages
If you suffer a cold injustice, you will still survive.
Doing nothing will lead to hell
Three Souls and Seven Souls Please Surrender Talisman
Jiang Fu Tong's body is clearly broken
Disciple, please pray with all your heart
Say hello to Mr. Dongyue
Disciple, please pray with all your heart
Greetings to the Second Master of the East Prison
The five generals arrived in front of the palace
Yin soldiers and fire are as urgent as laws and orders
I wonder…… next time will ghostly entertainment be public screening of UA-cam….???
Maybe Hell got a version of UA-cam where the laugh at ghosts pranking us humans
