Much like Western culture's Halloween, some Eastern cultures celebrate a fall festival where they believe the gates of hell are thrown open, releasing hungry ghosts to wander the earth in search of food and taking revenge upon those who wronged them in life. The ghost festival which is observed on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month falls on August 10 this year. [Photo/ CFP]
