A group of Taiwanese men lift a floating lantern before putting it into the
sea off the island's northern port of Keelung to mark the traditional Chinese
'Ghost Festival' August 7, 2006. The festival is traditionally marked on the
15th day of the seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar. The festival is
meant to appease the spirits of fishermen who have perished at sea over the
centuries. (Reuters)
