Singapore pays tribute to 'roaming spirits'

Help

A festival that appeases the spirits of the dead who are believed to walk amongst us is taking place in Singapore.

Spirits are fed and entertained, as it is believed the ghosts are walking among the living.

The hungry ghost festival's celebrations are elaborate, and often very expensive.
