Lurking around cemeteries and burial grounds in China, there are not supernatural forces but matchmaking corpse thieves.
The custom of ghost weddings
Most cultures around the world have a concern for the deceased alone, without relatives.
Chinese people believe that ghost weddings will bring peace to their families.
Ghost weddings have many different levels.
Government regulations
The Chinese government officially banned the practice of ghost weddings in 1949. But with the country’s wealth, this tradition continues to gain popularity again.
However, the government of this country allows matchmaking companies to act as a bridge between families whose sons and daughters have died so that they can arrange the marriage for the deceased themselves.
Body theft
Scary customs are the cause of criminals stealing bodies.
High profits from new cadavers, an average of about 15,600 USD per ghost bride, have made many people blind.
Because the government cannot prevent corpse theft, Chinese families have come up with many ways to protect their deceased loved ones.
