Chilling Discovery: Grandson Secretly Watches Grandmother Performing Spirit-Feeding Ritual on Second Floor as TV Shows Invite Her to Appear—Grandmother Falls Ill Shortly After
A grandmother's spirit-feeding ritual, secretly filmed by her grandson in their home, was shared on TikTok and sparked widespread speculation about the practice. The grandmother fell seriously ill shortly after and was invited to appear on
On May 5, TikTok user @beauty_alone_is_not_enou posted an eerie video captioned, "Who would believe me if I told them my grandmother feeds spirits?" In the clip, the grandmother is shown sitting before a sacred altar, lighting incense and candles, then beginning a ritual while holding an object that dangles toward the floor while she chants something described as deeply unsettling.
Grandmother Bun Yok is now seriously ill and was invited by two paranormal storytelling programs to share her experiences, but hasn't been able to participate due to her sudden illness. The family has accumulated many stories throughout their lives with her.
The post generated numerous comments from viewers who found the footage creepy and raised questions about who would take over the spirits' care if the grandmother passed away. Some commenters with knowledge of these practices clarified this isn't spirit-feeding but rather "fortune-telling doctoring" or an ancient method of locating lost items—not something simple, requiring tests during lunar eclipses or solar eclipses until completing three successful predictions to become a legitimate spirit doctor.
Others explained this as "beeyae" or scissors divination, a folk belief tradition used for fortune-telling or spirit summoning through specific ritual procedures, often found in shrine consultation and prophecy contexts. Some believe direct scissors use brings bad luck or that it's part of traditional head-shaving fire ceremonies.
