Ghost Month

For the real-world equivalent, see the Wikipedia page.

Occurring for the entirety of the seventh month, the Ghost Month is an annual period of time during which the barriers between both the Underworld and the mortal world in addition to Twilight and the mortal world grow thinner. As such, for the duration of the event, ghosts have much easier access to the living.

This phenomenon reaches its zenith during the Ghost Festival, which occurs on the fifteenth of the month. At this point, all Underworld gates lie open.

It is unknown whether the Ghost Month occurs in regions of the world less influenced by Buddhist and Taoist practices.
