As for Ghost Month, here's what you do (Daoist tradition, the Buddhist Ghost Month tradition is different):
* Put out a large table covered in fruit, biscuits, wine, beer, and whatever else you think the ghosts might like to eat
* Burn incense on the table, and put a few images of the gods on it (optional)
* Grab one of those metal drums and start a fire in it with some waste paper
* Get the paper money ('ghost money'), you purchased from your local vendor, unfold the leaves in wads, and throw them into the fire
* Add the odd incense stick now and then
* When you're out of paper money, douse the fire, sweep up the mess, and take the food back inside (or give it to friends)
