The reason: a bunch of ghosts have taken over some people and are running around cutting their flesh with ex orbited eyeballs and blessing people with blood tainted yellow papers which have previously been leaked by the possessed bloody tongue.
This is my third year in Phnom Penh and the second time I come to witness this parade at this market, not just because it is a flashy event (lots of possessed people running around, blood, swords, nail cushioned chairs,…) but also because it amazes me the catarquic effect this seems to have on people, they truly believe these are spirits who will heal them, bring them luck, from my westen agnostic lense this is quite something and truly I sometimes wish I had this kind of faith left in me.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
