A vortex of fire rises from the ashes. Was it a dust devil or one from the underworld? The Hungry Ghost Festival may make some think it was of the second kind. Residents in the town of Sungai Besar, in Malaysia, were burning paper offerings in this...

It was no different in this Malaysian town, specifically on this small road flanked on both sides by shops.

What was different was the tiny fiery “tornado” that rose up from the embers of the burnt “hell money”.The glowing little gale swirls around the ashes for a few minutes. Then it slowly disappears, like a spectre.“The good brothers are collecting their money,” said one person, referring to dead ancestors.Others were not so easily scared.Extraordinary sight, ordinary explanation - one can live with that.
