Raising Kumanthong/Ghost children : good or bad?

Many say ghost chewren can help you with your life, removing obstacles and bring you success. There are also side effects like pestering around the house, disturbance of the owner. Well i was forum-ing when i saw this thread about them and found out how interesting they are and decided to share it with my pathetic amount of viewers. Below is an account of someone who once reared one :


"I used to keep few Kumantongs during my younger days. Here's some of my knowing and hope it will help you. Age around 8mth to 7 yrs old. I actually “invited” them from Thailand temple and some given to me by monks.

How they made?

Monks or those evil priests will dig out the grave of the babies and either using they bones or hairs (sometime powder from the tombstone) to carve into amulets (babies) forms. For those unborn (meaning die inside the mother wombs) to about the age of one the amulet figure will be like a baby climbing on the floor sucking pacifiers (very cute), those age about 2 to 8 yrs old, the figurine is a stand up or sitting baby figure and some age about 6 – 8 you can see them carry weapons like arrow and bow.

The evil type (which mean they can’t rest in peace) the monk will blindfold them in red cloth, these sorts will take years to wash away the hate and sin by chanting daily. And never let them taste blood or it will be very difficult to tame them.

Feeding – There are a few ways to feed Kumantong.
a) Sweet (Change once the sweet turn soft)
b) Chocolates (Same as above)
c) Fresh milk (which you need to change daily)
d) Plain rice (Not many people use this)
e) Hard boil egg, peel off the shell (Change it once the egg turn black)
f) Blood of the owner, everyday per drop (Mainly use for those Kumantong died of unnatural death. Like adoption, kill by parent once born etc.) Because of “hate” they become unrest soul and unlikely to be reborn again unless someone do offering of chanting by high monks to rest their soul.
These are more “evil” type of feeding process, but also most effective type, they will follow the owner's heart, if the owner is “evil” the Kumantong will become like oneself, if the owner's heart is “kind” the Kumantong will be good and wait for his/her change to be reborn.

How to keep?

a) You must treat them like your own kids, they got feelings too and you need to teach them what right what wrong.
b) If you have evil thoughts, they will sense it and follow your mindset. They will help you to do evil deeds, but remember this that you will have to pay back some how.
c) If you have kind thoughts, they will also behave like you, but they will also help you in the way that you will live a smooth life. They will help you to clear any obstruction in your path.
d) They can be naughty sometimes just like kids, so you as the daddy or mummy must punish them accordingly, same goes if they have been a good boy you must award them like buying new toys, clothing, sweet etc.

How do I get rid of them?

a) Is not easy of get rid of them like items you just throw down to the bin chute.
b) You cannot just throw them under a tree or far away, because they are like dogs, no matter how far you throw them, they will “sniff” their way back to you and disturb you.
c) If you really want to dispose them, you must bring them to a temple, together you must bring new clothing, plenty of sweets, toys etc and go to find the monk “on duty” that day and tell them that you don’t want to keep anymore. They will help you to chant and place them on the offering tables (Which many others Kumantongs “friends” sitting there), then you place your offering to all the others Kumantongs which are there before yours and tell them to take care of your Kumantongs and “help” them, not to bully them. Is a sort of bribe to them?

I got rid of mine because they are damn naughty and hard to tame, very playful. But they do help me in many ways like money and relationship which I rather not go into."

the evil version:




Sounds cool, like got younger brother or sister to play with sia. But you really need to have the time to care for them and stuff, like pets. What's really awesome is they bring you fortune if you treat them well. However i won't risk rearing one. If something go wrong then ho seh. Somemore my dad would kill me if i play with this kind of things. Life is currently satisfying for me, no need go pua stunt. But this is really interesting and kind of heartwarming, as you are providing love and care for these poor souls who died as foetuses or just borns. Some sort of good deed... Anyway time to koon....


Note: This post is NOT meant to encourage anyone to rear a ghost child. If you somehow want to rear one pls do NOT say you were inspired by this post and don't set it out to find me. It is your own choice and i am totally NOT responsible for whatever shit you do. (btw the forum says the thai temple at simpang bedok sells them.)
