The village spirits protect and take care of the homeowner only as long as the homeowner is generous, virtuous, and behaves well. In ancient Khmer times, people did not build spirit houses or Preah Phum out of stone. The tradition of making stone spirit houses started only in later periods. Originally, spirit houses were made from wood, palm leaves, or tree branches. It is only in recent times, with rapid development, that people have started making them from stone.
