Last Monday, Paw mentioned something eerie. On August 7, 2010, there would be two birthdays of my uncles or my Paw’s two younger brothers – Uncle Gigolo and Uncle Dead. That day would fall on the forty days of my paternal grandmother’s death!
Here is an interesting tidbit regarind the number forty (40):
Some Russians believe that ghosts of the dead linger at the site of their death for forty days.
Most Asian cultures believe that the souls of the deceased are still confused for nine days and linger for forty days.
