Some experts believe that once a woman had an abortion or a miscarriage, she would have sins whether it?s on purpose or not. When parents have this sin, their karma will be brought over to their descendants. Even when the unborn child is in the underworld, they will have to suffer on behalf of their parents. This is why child spirits only gets to come back after they finish their sentence in hell. Both the unborn child and parents will have to suffer due to that karma.
How long will the child spirits in the underworld take to come back into the human realm? Nobody knows for sure. But what will their sentence be? From certain folk stories all child spirits will be brought to a beach and they are required to finish a difficult task then they can swim over to the other side of the sea to reach the shore. Then they can come up and reunite with their parents. Do note that they are naked and have to bear with hunger and colds. They are required to conduct these tasks before they are able to be reborn with a parent in the human realm.
1) Build a tall pagoda with bricks.
2) Obstacles will be the strong current of the waves that will flush away the bricks.
3) Hell Guardians serving as coast guards holding big clubs with sharp thorns will be patrolling the beach to prevent the children to swim across without finishing their task. Whenever they get to see a Pagoda tall enough for them to finish, they will hit the Pagoda to prevent them from finishing or hit the child who stopped half way. They will hit the children without any mercy and see that they are bleeding and wounded but still working hard and in building the Pagaoda as their only way out to safety.
Those child spirits who can get their pagoda finish will be the luckiest ones. This is the reason why a lot of parents or woman who aborted babies before only gets to feel their lost child's presence after a few years. But some parents will never get to feel or see their lost child.
For those who really get to finish the difficult task and managed to swim across the cold ocean just to survive so that they can come back to find their parents may be dismayed. It would have been a few years already and most of the parents are already with newborn children. And that is why, we have cases like Child spirits hating and hold grudges as they never gets the chance to live as the newborns. And this is where we have child spirits that cannot leave in peace and follow their parents where ever they go. Some of these unfortunate children spirits can understand. But some cannot and they are grieving deeply.
There are such parents who do not know that their deceased child have suffered so much because of them. Without knowing and fearing that their own child spirit, the heartless parents can even go to the extent to employ exorcist to kill their own child spirits to prevent the child from going near them.
This is why we will have Great ?Keji? Monks or Ajahns specialized in this field helped them to relief their pains and suffering. Giving them a chance to be loved once again, it is also a chance for them to accumulate merits and help adopting parents (e.g. Guman Thong owners) so that these benefactors can help redeem the child beings sins in order for the child beings to go for a happy rebirth in the Deva realms.
There are 2 different groups of child spirits that are invited to be Guman Thong child beings. These child beings can derive from the heaven grouping and the other from the underworld grouping. The heaven group are given the name as Guman Thep whereas the underworld group is known as Guman Thong. The underworld grouping is usually stronger and could exercise their supernormal power to display their existence whereas the heavenly group is more docile with less show-off their supernormal power in helping their benefactors. Both categories of Guman Thong and Guman Thep are equally effective if they are being properly blessed by the master. Sadly, there are also fake replicas surfacing in the market for those popular Guman Thongs just like the case of replica amulets found in the marketplace. Therefore, it is advisable for you to be wary of those unscrupulous businessmen by conducting a proper research study first before acquiring or adopting a Guman Thong.
