Spirit posession: Spirit mediums posessed by ancestral spirits perform traditional hot water splashing and blood letting ceremony at Chinese Buddhist shrine in Phuket, Thailand. Unique to Phuket, these spirit mediums conduct a 2-day ceremony to mark the birthday of one of the deities they worship. Although the ceremony looks scary and violent, the spirit mediums follow strict vegetarian diets before undergoing posession.
