I don't have room in my head for all the mess I have made, I don't have room in my body for all the feeling.

The ancient Chinese believed that ghosts could only travel in straight lines. They built large gates, spirit gates, with one large opening, and then a large wall, with U shaped halls on either side to let people through. They believed that if the ghosts tried to come through, they would be unable to turn the corner and thus unable to enter.

I wonder though, what they did about the ghosts that came from within the walls.
