SURIN – Fearful villagers in tambon Tha Sawang have hung red shirts in front of their homes to repel a “widow ghost” rumoured to have taken the lives of 10 apparently healthy men in the village since last month.
People in the village told a reporter that 10 strong men have mysteriously died, some in their sleep and others just dropped dead while walking.
Doctors said all of them died from respiratory failure.
A spirit medium hired by the villagers said the “widow ghost”, or pee mae mai, also known locally as the lai thai (sudden unexpected death syndrome) spirit, was responsible for their demise.
The medium also told villagers to hang a red shirt outside their homes to repel the evil spirit and also warned that families with only one son have a higher chance of a visit from the ghost.
Sounds more like the flu than some window ghost .
