The spirits of some people travel while they are asleep - which might be visible to observers!

@juergen_hubert @germany @folklore Oooh. That is spooky! Reads like a description of Astral projection. SE Asian cultures also believe that the soul wanders out of the body - giving us dreams.

It might be worth keeping in mind that certain herbs can assist with keeping ex-boyfriends away.

@juergen_hubert @germany @folklore Who are Daurand and Witirod that the Devil mentions? Are those other folk deities?

@juergen_hubert @raymccarthy @germany @folklore You'll be delighted or terrified to know that even in this day and age many people in SE Asia refuse to plant Banana plants near their homes due to the spirit associated with them.

The Thais call her Nang Tani, Malaysians call her Hantu Pokok Pisang while Indonesians and Cambodians call the spirit by different names - we all agree that it is a female and often malevolent spirit.

Hope to see more folk stories about these spirits. October being Halloween just makes it prime time to discussion these "things".

@juergen_hubert @raymccarthy @germany @folklore I'd like to think of that as eco-wisdom passed down from our early farmer ancestors.

@juergen_hubert @raymccarthy @germany @folklore Ooh, that sounds like the influence of the organized religion. And sadly that never seems to gel with what Nature needs.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite @juergen_hubert @raymccarthy @germany @folklore Let me correct you there - it's not the farmers holding the people hostage. It's outdated agriculture regulations and subsidies that desperately need reform so farmers don't lose money trying planting a staple crop.

@juergen_hubert @raymccarthy @germany @folklore @rorystarr Listening to this just strengthens phobia of swimming in lakes, rivers and oceans where I can't see the bottom. - Strictly land mammal.

@juergen_hubert @raymccarthy @germany @folklore @rorystarr As a South Korean colleague of mine observed when she went camping in our nearby forest recently - There's a big difference camping here than in Europe or North Asia - the wildlife there don't generally see you as a potential meal. Here, campers are free food delivery.

@juergen_hubert @raymccarthy @germany @folklore @rorystarr The worst we got was grandmothers telling us - if you don't finish your rice you'll hear the rice crying tonight outside your window. Another favourite is every grain of wasted rice will be a blemish on the face of your future husband or wife. Believe me, no wasted food after that.

@ubi @juergen_hubert @raymccarthy @germany @folklore @rorystarr I second that Ubi! Let's not forget the crocodile shamans in Sarawak who tracked down Bujang Senang (Easygoing Bachelor) the huge saltwater croc famous in the 90s that was terrorising the longhouses.

@juergen_hubert @raymccarthy @germany @folklore @rorystarr I have to say, that's a whole level creative disrespectfulness for a staple food. Yep, turn them to stone
