southeast asia apparently being such a haunted region as a whole that seasians are so used to it will never stop being funny to me like. Why. what goes on
some weeks ago I was like "oh it turns out in indo they smell jasmine when there& #39;s Something nearby but in here we smell sampaguita lol, wonder if other countries have diff flowers too" then I went to research and it turns out sampaguita is literally jasmine and I was like. HUH.
FOR CLARIFICATION sampaguita is a KIND of jasmine, but I& #39;m not sure if it& #39;s the same flower that heralds the presence of spirits in indonesia o)---( my shock was bc I didn& #39;t realize the two were even connected at all, I thought sampaguita was already in english o)---(
k so what I& #39;ve gathered from this thread is that apparently all over southeast asia
- if u randomly start smelling jasmine/sampaguita or frangipani/kalachuchi there& #39;s probs a ghost nearby
- everyone has seen a long haired lady in all white or knows someone who has. EVERYONE.

- also the lady who flies around w/ her organs exposed is EVERYWHERE
- some houses are just. casually haunted. like ppl just coexist w/ the ghost/s in their house bc they& #39;re usually just chill
- SO MANY schools and hospitals were built near or on top of cemeteries/mass graves

- kids are taught warding incantations at a young age so they don& #39;t accidentally offend any spirits and get cursed/abducted
- there& #39;s a local witch doctor in probably every locality bc it& #39;s so common to get hexed/possessed. if someone is abnormally sick, it& #39;s normal to go there

- you need to ask permission from spirits when you do something in an area where they may lurk. if you& #39;re gonna construct or demolish or take something or even just pass through you need to properly let them know first or else
- if you piss off the wrong person, you might find yourself throwing up nails/glass/bugs later
there& #39;s a lot more but the fact that these are all such common experiences/beliefs/traditions in multiple southeast asian countries????
