According to a reports, a cemetery in Thailand held a film screening for the deceased from June 2 to June 6. The Sawang Metta Thammasathan Foundation organized this eerie screening event.

Food was also arranged for the ghosts in the cemetery-
According to reports, it is believed that the spirits attending this bizarre film screening were descendants of Chinese people who lived in Thailand and couldn’t return to China.
This screening reportedly started at 7 PM and ended at midnight. Besides the ‘ghost audience,’ four cemetery employees were also present at this open-air show, providing food, clothes, cars, model houses, and other daily necessities for the deceased.
Screening movies for the deceased is part of Chinese tradition-
As per reports, among the Chinese communities in Thailand, screening films for the deceased is a traditional practice either after the Qingming Festival or before the Dragon Boat Festival.
The event organizer admitted that initially, they were afraid of showing a film in the cemetery, but over time, they described their experience as unique and positive.
