During the day, this female ghost will appear like any other \u2018normal\u2019 person. She\u2019ll have friends, flirt with guys, etc. And she\u2019ll be very pretty. Your only clue would be that she won\u2019t eat, giving excuses as to why. But at night, her head and vertebrae and perhaps some entrails and internal organs will separate from her body and float around looking for raw meat to eat. She\u2019s considered a very dangerous ghost, and can sometimes have a glowing aura. The joke is that since she doesn\u2019t have hands to wipe her mouth after eating, she\u2019ll float around your clothes (that are hanging out overnight to dry) and stain them with blood from her mouth. It\u2019s said that by eating raw meat any woman could be infected and become a pee grasue. A few decades ago there was a Thai soap opera (now available on youtube) where one of the main characters was a pee grasue, but looked too boring for me to watch. This below video talks about \u2018the very first time a pee grasue was caught on video tape\u2019. Believe it, or not.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0e01\u0e23\u0e30\u0e2a\u0e37\u0e2d (Krasue)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rYDQy2fdK40?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>pee5 gra1hang5 <strong>\u0e1c\u0e35\u0e01\u0e23\u0e30\u0e2b\u0e31\u0e07 <\/strong>\u2013 I\u2019ve seen various versions of this terrifying ghost, but it\u2019s basically a flying bird-like man. Appearing only at night, he may or may not have a glowing aura, and could be benevolent or evil. He eats \u2018filth\u2019. A few years ago a B-quality movie called GraHang was released, where the grahang always seemed to fly in to save the day from \u2018bad guys\u2019. The theme music was pretty good, too. But I couldn\u2019t find it anywhere on youtube to show you. Instead, this old video is an example of a more evil version of a grahang.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=64PbmdVaqDY\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=64PbmdVaqDY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>pee5 bpaa2 <strong>\u0e1c\u0e35\u0e1b\u0e32<\/strong> \u2013 The pee bpaa, or \u2018forest ghost\u2019, comes in many different shapes and forms. If you\u2019re roaming the forest at night without a flashlight, they\u2019re sure to be all around you. Supposedly some hunters may leave a piece of their catch to appease and show respect to these spirits, like an ear or a foot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In part 1 I spoke of the four general categories of Thai ghosts.
