In this photo made early Sunday, August 10, 2014, in Keelung, Taiwan, worshippers guide a burning model house draped with a message for a deceased family member out to the ocean as an offering to appease wandering ghosts during the Chinese folklore's mid-summer's Ghost Month Festival. Fourteen days into the seventh month of the lunar calendar, August 9, in 2014, marks the traditional Chinese Ghost Month where the gates of the underworld are opened and spirits of the deceased are set free to roam the world of the living. The month long festivities are aimed to please the roaming spirits. (Photo by Chiang Ying-ying/AP Photo)
