1 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,279 Hi everyone. This is Christina and this is MJ. And this is another 2 00:00:08,279 --> 00:00:13,320 episode of As Spooky Tells, the podcast for All Things As Spooky, And 3 00:00:14,359 --> 00:00:18,920 we have the other Morto stories today, the other Dad. Yes, we 4 00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:22,559 do. Well. For once, we're like right on topic because this is 5 00:00:22,559 --> 00:00:26,359 gonna come out Friday, the twenty seventh, I think, and then like 6 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,559 you know, that's the weekend of the aln Morto's basically yeah, and I 7 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:36,399 start my celebrations on the twenty seventh, so perfect. But first I think 8 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,920 we have some things to address. Are we doing that first? Yes? 9 00:00:40,439 --> 00:00:44,520 Yes, yeah, let's do that. Yeah, it was. I mean, 10 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:51,479 as everyone knows, Gaza is being bombed to oblivion. It seems like 11 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:59,079 Israel's goal is to fully finish their active genocide, right, yes, And 12 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,920 like we wouldn't be as Spooky Tells if we didn't address it, because like 13 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,680 we talk about colonization and how it affects the stories and legends and myths that 14 00:01:07,719 --> 00:01:12,040 we hear today in Latin America. So yeah, maybe someone's listening and they're 15 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:17,040 like, stay in your lane, but no, we have to talk about 16 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,959 this because this is fucking terrible. It's terrible, and it affects us all 17 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,000 because right now the global politics, everyone's talking about World War three and we 18 00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:30,480 don't know what the hell the higher ups are gonna do. We honestly don't 19 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:36,159 know. It affects us all. And it's also so like hypocritical, not 20 00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:40,079 hypocritical, but so like ignorant to be like, oh, world War three 21 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,400 when there's parts of the of the world that, yeah, that's true, 22 00:01:42,599 --> 00:01:47,120 this is their every day. That is true, like Gaza, you know, 23 00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:49,680 but for people who live in a comfortable home, like you know, 24 00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:53,879 it's I don't know. I guess like I've been posting up about it a 25 00:01:53,879 --> 00:01:59,599 long time, and I'm noticing that everybody continues like nothing's happening, And I 26 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,719 realize that we are very much addicted to that, to the comforts that we 27 00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:07,840 have. We have electricity, we have running water, and all this shit 28 00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:13,360 seems like it's so far away, but it does affect you. You are 29 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,599 the one paying for it, but with your taxes. Yeah, you are 30 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:24,400 part of the web. I guess that we're all interconnected and we're all affecting 31 00:02:24,439 --> 00:02:28,879 it. It all affects us. And if you're if you don't want to 32 00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:30,960 believe it, that's you know, I can't I can't force I can't force 33 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,159 you, but understand that it is something that's going to affect us all and 34 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,759 has been affecting us all. I didn't even realize how affected I was by 35 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:46,639 the stuff that's been going on for seventy five years until all this stuff happened 36 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:53,879 because they've been educated by Palestinian leaders and POC leaders that have been like telling 37 00:02:53,960 --> 00:03:01,000 and and without like fear, because for many years it's been scared of talking 38 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,719 about this topic because if you say something, you're called an anti Semite, 39 00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:09,280 which is kind of ridiculous because to be a semi you either have to be 40 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:15,719 Arab or Jewish, and among other lists, right, like what are semi 41 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:21,479 languages, and which is Hebrew and Arabic? And I'm like, Palestinians are 42 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:28,039 Arabic, so they are you know, yeah yeah, And it's like Israel 43 00:03:28,759 --> 00:03:35,000 or Zionists. It does not equal being anti Jewish because there's Jewish people themselves 44 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,560 that are not for Zionism. They're not the same thing. There are many 45 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:45,280 there are so many Jewish people that are anti Zionism. And Zionism is a 46 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,759 political group and Judaism is the religion, and you have to separate both of 47 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,240 them, because like it's like saying like, oh, well, I don't 48 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,919 know, like a name, an extremist group, and then a religion, 49 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,159 and then if you you put them all together, it's like, well, 50 00:04:01,159 --> 00:04:04,719 that's not the case. You have the people of this religion that have nothing 51 00:04:04,759 --> 00:04:09,400 to do with the extremists, so don't mix it together. Yeah. Yeah, 52 00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:12,240 And then there's like people like, oh, this is like their war, 53 00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:15,879 but this isn't a war. This is an occupation of a people, 54 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,040 a genocide of a people that we are paying for. It's our money. 55 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,199 Yeah, it's our money, and it pisses me off. Yeah. I 56 00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:27,360 saw this meme like a couple of days ago that was like Peter Parker and 57 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,639 the friend. I can't even remember the friend's name. It's like the original 58 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:36,680 Spider Man movies. It's James Franco's character. I just don't know the name. 59 00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:40,839 Henry. No, Harry, Harry, Harry, yes, Harry. 60 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,279 Wow, I'm surprised. And you know, the meme is like Peter Parker 61 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,639 asking him, Hey, have you heard about what's going on in the Middle 62 00:04:46,639 --> 00:04:51,519 East? And then Harry is like, please, I'm working six jobs to 63 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,199 pay three thousand dollars in rent. I don't have time to think about the 64 00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:02,879 Middle East. And it's like that money that we should be getting for healthcare, 65 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,040 for our taxes, all of that is being used to send more and 66 00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:13,720 more aid to aid Israel and genocide exactly, exactly exactly, And that's I 67 00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:15,680 think that's what pisses me off because I have a friend who said, no 68 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,240 matter if you're a Democrat or Republican or any other political view in the United 69 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:25,000 States, we're all eating shit, and that is so true because we do 70 00:05:25,079 --> 00:05:30,839 not have health care. The prices of food are going up. I mean, 71 00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:34,839 it's gotten so bad that even I've been limiting to what I really buy. 72 00:05:35,439 --> 00:05:39,519 And my husband's a federal worker, so let's start there, like, 73 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,519 how is the hell does a federal worker in today's economy like you still have 74 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,399 to be careful with what you buy? And then gas prices are going up 75 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:53,519 and it literally takes a fraction probably of what our taxes you know, that 76 00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:58,240 are sent to Israel could do to help people here. We have homelessness is 77 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:03,040 skyrocketing. People can't buy homes. Yeah, we didn't have money for that, 78 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:08,160 but we have money for this, Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's 79 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,600 just terrible and a lot of people think that, like it's just the United 80 00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:14,399 States, we're well off. Actually, now there's so many people that starve 81 00:06:14,439 --> 00:06:18,040 here. A lot of people are malnourished. A lot of people don't have 82 00:06:18,079 --> 00:06:23,519 the money to pay their medical bills. Yeah. Yeah, and to know 83 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:30,120 that things that could be used in aiding and helping and in good things, 84 00:06:30,199 --> 00:06:33,079 things that are good, like helping people eat, helping people. But there's 85 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:40,040 this thing too, there's a law in thirty six states where anything that's funded 86 00:06:40,079 --> 00:06:45,600 by the public or that is part of the stake cannot protest against Israel. 87 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,759 Yeah, and people that are like calling them out are getting fired from their 88 00:06:47,879 --> 00:06:51,160 jobs. But like I mean, you know, there's protests going on. 89 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:59,040 People are protesting against these atrocities, and there is I'll put a link in 90 00:06:59,079 --> 00:07:02,160 the show notes. There's a I don't remember what it stands for, like 91 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:09,680 BDS, like boycott so you boycott specific company so that it affects Israel more 92 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,920 like Puma HP McDonald's. No, that's not one of the book parts. 93 00:07:15,959 --> 00:07:17,879 That's part of the BDS. Oh is it not? That I know, 94 00:07:18,079 --> 00:07:24,439 like McDonald's donates to Israel, So people are doing McDonald's and Starbucks. Yeah, 95 00:07:24,439 --> 00:07:28,560 but like, well, at some point the companies are too much where 96 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:34,680 you can't boycott everything, it's like physically impossible. So that's why Palestinians themselves 97 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:40,240 came up with the BDS. Well, McDonald's nobody needs it. It's like 98 00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:45,319 poisoning your body, so people should have been limiting that shit forever, and 99 00:07:45,439 --> 00:07:49,920 Starbucks with these with this economy, I've been limiting my Starbucks anyway, so 100 00:07:50,199 --> 00:07:55,959 it's gone completely now and I'm currently looking for a for a mom and pop 101 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,600 shop. So yeah, so for me, it's like not hard to do 102 00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:01,759 that, but when you start looking at all the companies, it's too much. 103 00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:05,120 It's really too much, it is. And also, yeah, why 104 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,360 they made that BDS thing. Pestinis themselves did, and so I know for 105 00:08:09,399 --> 00:08:16,839 sure Puma and HP and HPR on there. Yeah, but also like Walmart 106 00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:20,120 is also one, and I would want people to be cautionary with this and 107 00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:22,920 don't feel bad if you cannot boycott, because I know for many places, 108 00:08:22,959 --> 00:08:28,879 Walmart is the only place that's available for food. Yeah, this is why 109 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,080 the BDS thing exists, because like I said, at some point, it's 110 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:39,559 you can to such a boycott everything, but those specific ones you can it's 111 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,559 not hard to do those like, that's why they created that. Let me 112 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,240 find it though, so that people know. So the BDS movement is what 113 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:52,399 came out of Palestine itself to know what's boycott because it's targeted. So that's 114 00:08:52,759 --> 00:08:58,080 HP Simons, which I don't know what that is Simons. I don't know 115 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:05,480 what that is either. Ax A is they fund like Israeli banks Puma Puma 116 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,240 and then produce from Israel and so to stream. Oh yeah, so did 117 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,360 I never use that? I was like, yeah, so those are the 118 00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:16,399 specific ones that are easy to like target, which is why that exists. 119 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,840 But then of course if you can easily do like the other ones on the 120 00:09:20,879 --> 00:09:24,799 list, that list is huge, but this is specific and I'll put that 121 00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:31,320 link in the show notes so people can see as well. And then yeah, 122 00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:35,559 just like no, we stand with Palestine. There's also I think I 123 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,399 showed it to MJ. But there's like companies you know the Palestine, like 124 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:46,600 people use this like headscarf or scar specific kafa. Yes, yeah, so 125 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,159 there's companies you can buy them from and the money they're straight from Palestine, 126 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,159 made by Palestinians, and the money goes to them when you purchase one. 127 00:09:54,159 --> 00:09:58,720 I'll put a link in the show notes as well if anyone wants to do 128 00:09:58,799 --> 00:10:01,279 that to like try and sense support and like, yeah, our hearts are 129 00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:07,360 with Palestine. We will never stand with the oppressor, which is Israel and 130 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:13,440 Scionism. And that does not mean we are anti Jewish. Those things are 131 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,840 not the same. And I mean, like maybe I don't know someone out 132 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,799 there that listens is like, oh no, they're supporting terrorism. First of 133 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,519 all, No, like this is this history goes way back. It's not 134 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:30,440 just something that started on October seventh exactly. I just did me and Carmen 135 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,519 did in Yestodia is Aknown episode that's going to be out on Thursday, so 136 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,840 the day before this, where we go into more of the history of Palestine 137 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,759 as well as Palestinian history in Latin America, if anyone wants to listen to 138 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:46,080 that for a little more background, but also just like look up things from 139 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,399 like Palestinian people themselves, right, yes, yes, and follow Palestinian leaders 140 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:56,480 too, especially uh social movement leaders. I think that's the best place to 141 00:10:56,519 --> 00:11:00,519 get the information from. But yeah, and with that, I would also 142 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,279 like to say, just because I'm also saying a lot of rhetoric right now. 143 00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:07,720 Just because you don't agree with Israel does not give you the right to 144 00:11:07,759 --> 00:11:15,799 be to say hateful Jewish things. Because again, Zionism and Judaism are two 145 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,240 different things. Okay, one of them isn't a one of them is a 146 00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:24,440 religion, the other one is a political movement. Yeah, yes, yeah, 147 00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:28,519 yeah for sure. And yeah, like I already said, like, 148 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,000 I mean, we've already said it, I don't know what else there is 149 00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:33,840 to say, just like this is I don't know, how can people just 150 00:11:33,879 --> 00:11:39,240 like stand by and watch a whole ass country I know, and I'm seeing 151 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,039 it a lot. I'm seeing it a lot, and it's it's heartbreaking because 152 00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:46,879 Latinos, Oh my god, so some Latinos love Israel and it has to 153 00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:54,000 do with Christianity. Christianity our Bible talks about how Israel, the Holy Land, 154 00:11:54,159 --> 00:12:00,840 is going to bring forth the whatever, which also is Yeah, I 155 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,559 just I don't get it. But I mean in these specific countries, there's 156 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:11,440 also been protests people standing up for Palestine. So yeah, yeah, I 157 00:12:11,919 --> 00:12:13,799 mean we can go on forever. Did you also want to talk about the 158 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,000 Otto MEI yes, And actually there's a lot of stuff going on around the 159 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,440 world right now, which I briefly discussed. But yes, the atom people 160 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:28,799 of Mexico have been targeted by the Mexican government. When was it I can't 161 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,200 wait wait before you continue with that. This also reminds me. I've seen 162 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:39,240 Mexican flags at protests for Palestine and like the Mexican flag himself. Yeah, 163 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,960 I'm Mexican too, but this is also a settler colonial flag that oppresses indigenous 164 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,960 people in Mexico. So why don't leave the flag at home? Leave that 165 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,799 Mexican flag alone. Yeah, yeah, leave it, leave it at home 166 00:12:52,919 --> 00:12:58,600 until Mexico gets its shipped together and does reparations and actually gives a fuck about 167 00:12:58,639 --> 00:13:01,559 indigen and as people leave it at home. We me and Christine are both 168 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:07,120 Mexican, you know, uh, but we just like everything. Just like 169 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,759 we call out bullshit here in the United States, we have to call out 170 00:13:09,799 --> 00:13:16,840 bullshit in our Mexico. Yeah. Yes, the Otomi people were attacked by 171 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,960 the Mexican government. And for people who don't know, they are an indigenous 172 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,879 group and they have asked for basic human rights like the right to have electricity, 173 00:13:28,039 --> 00:13:31,080 running water, land and all this shit and you know stuff that like, 174 00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:35,960 I mean, like basic stuff that people should have, and they live 175 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,759 in like I think, I want to say, like in a community building 176 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:46,039 and they were like attacked by the Mexican government and people aren't really talking about 177 00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:50,360 it and for protesting, right, like a protest yes, because again the 178 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,840 Mexican government was like, hey, we're going to give you the basic necessities. 179 00:13:54,159 --> 00:13:58,679 And it's been like three two or three years and the Mexican government still 180 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:03,679 hasn't given them jacks because again, their land was taken for like other things, 181 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,679 and they were put in these like yes, it's not a reservation because 182 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,000 Mexico doesn't use reservations, right, but it's essentially in practice the same thing. 183 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,960 Their land was taken. They were placed in this building and then in 184 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,480 yeah, it's like a community building, is yeah, And they were like 185 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,440 they're trying to be like evicted from it, which is like crazy. It's 186 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,960 like where there, Where are this entire like group of people supposed to go? 187 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,720 You took everything from them. They don't they don't have access like the 188 00:14:30,759 --> 00:14:33,879 rest of you know, uh, I guess Mexico does with running water, 189 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,960 electricity and all this stuff. Where are they going to go? So they 190 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,720 were attacked by the Mexican government, and I think it's something that we need 191 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:48,919 to highlight again standing with indigenous people who are oppressed. Yes, and yeah, 192 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,159 it's just just please you guys, research it and please. I'm seeing 193 00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:56,480 a lot of racism too from Mexican nationals towards the Ottomi people and that is 194 00:14:56,519 --> 00:15:00,840 not okay. I I oh my god, I saw this girl who says, 195 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,320 well, if they don't like Mexico, they should leave. I'm like, 196 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,240 they're indigenous, you dumb bitch. Yeah, oh my god, Like 197 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,879 you're not supposed to be there. You get off their land. Yeah. 198 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,399 But and it's stuff like that, and just you know, you guys, 199 00:15:16,519 --> 00:15:20,600 do your research, educate yourself more, because there's a lot of people around 200 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,519 the world currently needing help. There's again like Haiti is also facing some crazy 201 00:15:24,559 --> 00:15:28,840 stuff, I believe patient occupation from the UK right now and they're they're like, 202 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,440 it's getting bad in Haiti, you guys, Yeah, protesting and Guatemala, 203 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,759 of course, if you listen to Ustadia asn't known, you'll know how 204 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:45,600 much Corner and I talk about Asalvador like it's a lot. And then in 205 00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:50,879 Africa, several countries are also facing unrest, uh, especially for like Uh, 206 00:15:50,519 --> 00:15:56,480 the I guess the remnants and and it's not even remnants but like a 207 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,440 lot of the stuff that still stems from colonialism. Uh, a lot of 208 00:16:02,279 --> 00:16:07,519 genocide going on there because UK companies and American companies are quite literally raping their 209 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:14,440 land for minerals and stuff in the minds and it's killing people there. So 210 00:16:14,559 --> 00:16:18,360 there's a lot of places that need our focus. And yeah, it's it's 211 00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:22,360 gonna be tough, you guys. I've been doomscrolling, but you know, 212 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,440 five minutes here, five minutes there, every day, letting people know what 213 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,279 the hell's going on, and I think, yeah, hopefully we're able to 214 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,519 help those who need help around the world, because it's it's a lot. 215 00:16:33,639 --> 00:16:37,159 I know it's overwhelming, but what is it.

Okay, so here it goes all right, saddle up. 235 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,839 Here's three connected stories. The first story is actually my grandpa's. My 236 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,440 mom told it to me the first year we did our altar. My grandpa 237 00:18:17,559 --> 00:18:21,160 didn't celebrate Day of the Dead. At first, at some point he had 238 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,759 a dream where he looked out the window and saw people walking lost, of 239 00:18:25,799 --> 00:18:30,519 them holding food and drinks. Then he saw a group holding nothing. Those 240 00:18:30,599 --> 00:18:33,839 were our ancestors. They had nothing because no one had an alter for them. 241 00:18:34,079 --> 00:18:37,200 That's when he started building his own, and from that day forward he 242 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,000 told the family how important it was. My grandpa died when I was like 243 00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:45,279 two or even younger. He and I have birthdays within a day of each 244 00:18:45,319 --> 00:18:49,759 other. I wish I had gotten to spend time with him. Fast forward 245 00:18:49,799 --> 00:18:55,759 to my adulthood, maybe twenty sixteen or earlier. I want to say. 246 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,119 I grew up in New Jersey, so I didn't have any Spanish friends really 247 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,480 to celebrate, really who celebrate the holiday and I can share with I had 248 00:19:03,519 --> 00:19:06,960 seen my aunt's alters and everything, and I felt like we needed to celebrate. 249 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,200 So I put together the most crudely done altar, but it was done 250 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,839 with love. I put together whatever I could without knowing much, and off 251 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,720 we went. The thing is, my mom wouldn't help me. She didn't 252 00:19:17,759 --> 00:19:21,000 care much. She wasn't the time to celebrate it. Despite knowing the previous 253 00:19:21,079 --> 00:19:25,160 information. That night, we went to bed. My mom hadn't cooked that 254 00:19:25,279 --> 00:19:29,000 night because we actually had takeout At this time. I didn't have a car, 255 00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:30,519 so the next morning I had to wake up and leave for work with 256 00:19:30,599 --> 00:19:34,400 her. We come home the same time, with neither of us having gone 257 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,680 anywhere but from home to work and back. When we opened the door, 258 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,960 the smell of onions filled the entire house. She goes, did you cook? 259 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:45,960 I was like, no, I had been with you or at work 260 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,319 the entire time. The smell wasn't faint to either. It filled the entire 261 00:19:51,519 --> 00:19:56,039 house as if someone was cooking right then and there. My mom tells me 262 00:19:56,079 --> 00:19:57,519 she had a dream last night. She said her mother was in it, 263 00:19:57,559 --> 00:20:02,400 but she couldn't remember what happened. Then she shared the information that my grandma 264 00:20:02,559 --> 00:20:07,839 loved to cook with onions. I guess she was afraid that my grandma was 265 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:14,559 gonna hala las patas. And from that day on she started helping me with 266 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:19,759 either buying decorations or making tamales for the ad Deen Mortos. This story took 267 00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:23,880 place in twenty eighteen, so this is like an additional story to the first 268 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:29,000 one. This story is from twenty eighteen. I went to visit my family 269 00:20:29,039 --> 00:20:32,079 in Mexico. They lived in a very small town. I had wanted to 270 00:20:32,079 --> 00:20:34,799 go specifically for the ad Deen Mortos, and I had the chance to finally 271 00:20:34,839 --> 00:20:38,240 go. We went a couple of days before, so my Tia was getting 272 00:20:38,279 --> 00:20:42,880 ready to put up the altar. My mom and I had gone to the 273 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:48,759 next town over for sempasucchi and papel picado. We came back and set up 274 00:20:48,759 --> 00:20:52,240 the altar and everything. My Tia and I made some bread in our old 275 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,440 school outdoor oven. It was a super wholesome thing. My aunt loves to 276 00:20:56,559 --> 00:21:03,599 drink. Though happened my cousin let's call him Jose. We were watching The 277 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:08,240 Chilean Adventures of Sabrina. My other cousin, let's call her Maria, went 278 00:21:08,279 --> 00:21:12,680 to sleep because she knew Arthia wouldn't be home early. It was getting close 279 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,279 to eleven thirty and she wasn't home. She was out drinking and we were 280 00:21:17,279 --> 00:21:19,839 talking about how crazy the show is. We waited up because we wanted to 281 00:21:19,839 --> 00:21:23,960 make sure she was okay. Around midnight, we hear a crack. Both 282 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,319 my cousin Jose and I jump up and go searching for the noise. We 283 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,440 checked on the dogs on the back the windows, the kitchen, everything. 284 00:21:32,839 --> 00:21:36,160 We turned on all the lights. But a short time later, my aunt 285 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,599 came home. We had been calling her to make sure she was okay, 286 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,920 but she didn't answer. She stumbled in and says she lost her purse last 287 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:51,759 time she drank. We we told her what happened. She said, my 288 00:21:51,799 --> 00:21:56,000 grandpa hated when she stayed out late and drank like this. But she was 289 00:21:56,079 --> 00:21:59,680 home safe and so and went to sleep. The next morning, I went 290 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,440 to the altered to investigate closer. The pictures looked fine, but then I 291 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,160 got to the candles. The candle in front of my grandpa's picture was off 292 00:22:07,759 --> 00:22:12,920 clean Across the entire glass was a crack. The other candles were fine in 293 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:18,480 front of my THEO and my and everything, but my Grandpa's candle had gone 294 00:22:18,519 --> 00:22:23,000 out and cracked. We got super scared, but we knew he probably meant 295 00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:26,039 well. He was just mad about my Tia coming home late like that. 296 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:33,960 The rest of the trip, my patas were under the sheets. That was 297 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:38,279 the crack, they heard, that's crazy. The candle hyeh wow, that's 298 00:22:38,319 --> 00:22:41,519 a while that it was so loud like that. But yeah, that's the 299 00:22:41,559 --> 00:22:47,519 story. I Yeah, I would have died yeah. Same. It's I 300 00:22:47,519 --> 00:22:48,920 mean, I guess, like a scary story, but it's also cute because 301 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,519 like it wasn't something like evil. It was just like the Grandpa like checking 302 00:22:52,559 --> 00:22:56,200 up on the on the theia that is, he was like, you need 303 00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,960 to get your shit together. Me huh, yeah. Yeah, that's the 304 00:23:00,039 --> 00:23:03,519 kind of the other mortal story that you want to really yes, yes, 305 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:10,000 I have too, but one of them is like my experience from last year. 306 00:23:10,039 --> 00:23:12,880 So it's kind of it's more like a little footnote, I guess maybe. 307 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:18,279 Oh, okay, okay, it's a small story and it's from it 308 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:22,880 is a it's my own experience. And I celebrate the other mortals starting on 309 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,680 the twenty seventh of October. And for a little bit of backstory, my 310 00:23:27,759 --> 00:23:33,519 grandfather died last year right before the other mortals on October twenty second, so 311 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:38,039 yesterday was his one year anniversary since he passed, and so I set up 312 00:23:38,079 --> 00:23:45,079 Alfrenda and with my mom, and then within the first days of the other 313 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,039 mortals, we had a weird stuff happen. Oh really, yeah, So 314 00:23:49,079 --> 00:23:53,200 we would go to bed with the pictures in place, and every morning my 315 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:59,359 grandfather's picture was moved. When we woke up. Wow, it was on 316 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,440 the floor day than one day. It was just tipped over. It was 317 00:24:02,519 --> 00:24:04,680 just weird. It wasn't anything like crazy or well, but it was like, 318 00:24:06,079 --> 00:24:10,200 you know, something like my family needed, especially because it happened at 319 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,519 the time it happened, and like we were fresh freshly morning while we were 320 00:24:14,599 --> 00:24:18,240 celebrating the other morning and away. I don't know. It was like in 321 00:24:18,279 --> 00:24:22,599 a weird way, like something we needed. Yeah, it was just nice 322 00:24:22,599 --> 00:24:23,920 because it was like, oh my god, he's letting us know that he's 323 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:30,519 here and he's watching over the family, especially because his death was like nobody 324 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,160 was it right, Yeah, yeah, no, And don't get me wrong, 325 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:40,400 he was like elderly, but like not like in the hospital bed sickly, 326 00:24:40,519 --> 00:24:42,680 you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, so he passed away 327 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:48,039 at home. But yeah, it was it was expected, so it was 328 00:24:48,079 --> 00:24:52,599 a little comforting. Yeah, that's awesome. I would I would love for 329 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,559 like a sign like that. Yeah, it was. It was really like, 330 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,440 uh, I don't know, it made everything easier, I guess for 331 00:25:00,519 --> 00:25:03,960 the other Martos. We usually put up an altar like we always have, 332 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:11,880 and then my my family Mesico have always visited the pan like the cemetery on 333 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,799 that day. Whatever alter they put at home is always so small, but 334 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,240 last year would have been the first then moreto since my grandpa passed away, 335 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:26,079 because he passed away the summer of last year, so my grand my went 336 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,240 like all out with the altar. It was like huge and and it had 337 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,680 like because since then another brother of his passed away after he passed away, 338 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:41,039 and then one of my aunts myas I don't remember if it was a brother 339 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:45,559 of hers too, but since then there's been like at least three more deaths 340 00:25:45,599 --> 00:25:48,319 like in the family. And so she put up like all their pictures. 341 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,359 But Mayabulita had like the biggest one. They always get the bread that he 342 00:25:52,599 --> 00:25:56,279 likes. They're called like Lnovia. It's like this little tourly sugary one. 343 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,759 I'm sure you've seen it, which is also my favorite one. Like I 344 00:26:00,799 --> 00:26:07,559 have this memory where we were all over there for their I love that. 345 00:26:07,559 --> 00:26:11,759 That was in twenty seventeen, when October twenty seventeen actually, and we were 346 00:26:11,799 --> 00:26:15,559 all over there and he came back with a giant ass like the biggest novia 347 00:26:15,599 --> 00:26:18,039 and bread that I have ever seen, and he was like this is just 348 00:26:18,079 --> 00:26:22,240 for me and and Christina because that's our favorite bread. I love that. 349 00:26:25,079 --> 00:26:27,640 But so may Arita had the altar up and the candle that she had her 350 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:32,079 phot of like she was she would every day. Was it was like the 351 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,119 cutest thing because she sent like videos of the altar every day and she's like, 352 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,119 the smoke is taller today, Like I think he's showing us that he's 353 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:44,480 here. I love that, And like sure someone could look into and like, 354 00:26:44,519 --> 00:26:47,920 oh, that's just like wishful, like you're wishing it into existence. 355 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,799 But like my candles didn't do that here, you know. Yeah, so 356 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,319 I think it's a sign. I do think it's a sign. I was 357 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:57,880 watching them like, oh is there Am I going to get a sign? 358 00:26:59,039 --> 00:27:00,960 Like but no, I don't get anything here. Obviously I still put up 359 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:06,119 the altar and everything, but like her altar over there. I swear. 360 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,599 There was one video where the smoke almost looks like it's making a heart shape 361 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,319 like that, Oh that's what it looks like that And we have the video. 362 00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:18,319 I had to dig it up from my my What's app folder like album, 363 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,119 But yeah, I mean, just uh, I just like I do 364 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,839 think. I do think sometimes we do get maybe an extra visit now, 365 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,519 Sammy screaming, Oh my god, I can we forgot what I was saying, 366 00:27:30,759 --> 00:27:37,319 and I'm eating a sniggers now where I've been eating my kids Halloween Kenny. 367 00:27:37,759 --> 00:27:41,279 I was like, I shouldn't be doing this. No, you were 368 00:27:41,319 --> 00:27:45,200 talking about how some people were gonna be like that's not a sign. But 369 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,079 to you was, oh, yeah, yeah, I do believe that we 370 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:52,920 could get like an extra visit that maybe we wouldn't get another day on theos. 371 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,200 Yeah. Sam, Sorry, I'm like I said that was candy. 372 00:27:59,079 --> 00:28:03,559 I'm shot your snickery. But yeah, you can go to your second story. 373 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:10,960 Okay, so this is my second story. And before I get to 374 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,920 the story, I could already hear that's not how my family celebrates it. 375 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,960 Okay. So there is no I feel like right or wrong way to celebrate 376 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:23,200 this. There's so many ways to celebrate it. However, I do want 377 00:28:23,559 --> 00:28:27,799 in my belief it is a close practice, because I very much think you 378 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:33,480 do have to have ancestral ties or else. It's just it's not the other 379 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,920 more of those right, Like, it's it's very much an ancestral thing that 380 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:42,599 it's like three thousand years old.

Yeah, I will. I 399 00:30:08,279 --> 00:30:11,920 will add though, like, I don't know when my family started celebrating it. 400 00:30:12,039 --> 00:30:17,200 As far as I know, we are not like like obviously everyone says 401 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,319 there's a little bit of like indigenous, and that's part of like MESSI sache. 402 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,400 I don't like follow that right, I don't like Sure, maybe somewhere 403 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,240 down the line there was, but whatever it was, we've lost connection to 404 00:30:27,319 --> 00:30:32,200 it. In my family in Mexico, I don't know like what it would 405 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,599 have been at all. So I don't know when we started celebration celebrating the 406 00:30:34,599 --> 00:30:37,400 Alen Mortos because, like my mom said, they didn't do it when she 407 00:30:37,559 --> 00:30:41,960 was a kid, but when she got here she started doing it. And 408 00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:45,759 she was in Oakland, she saw the other Mortos festivals and the altars, 409 00:30:45,799 --> 00:30:49,000 and I think one of my one of her grandpa's had just her I think 410 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,599 it was me below my great grandpa had just passed away, and so she 411 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,480 wanted to do it too for him, and that's when she started doing it. 412 00:30:57,559 --> 00:31:00,759 And like, I had no idea that we didn't grow up like that. 413 00:31:00,839 --> 00:31:03,079 It was not a thing we've done forever, just because we've done it 414 00:31:03,119 --> 00:31:07,160 forever with her, So like I don't have I don't think I have ancestral 415 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,119 ties to it in that way either, I think you do. And because 416 00:31:11,119 --> 00:31:14,759 I'm gonna say one thing, because a lot of people who are not allowed 417 00:31:14,759 --> 00:31:18,799 to practice their religion and their ancestral religious religion thing, you know, because 418 00:31:18,799 --> 00:31:22,279 it's like either you convert or we kill you. And if you celebrate this 419 00:31:22,279 --> 00:31:25,480 body, we're gonna kill you. That doesn't mean you don't have ancestors who 420 00:31:25,519 --> 00:31:30,680 are continuously looking after you who did celebrate this and it was the religion right 421 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,039 right, true? True. I don't know where I was going with that, 422 00:31:34,119 --> 00:31:41,079 so gold Okay, So I'm gonna give a little of a background for 423 00:31:41,119 --> 00:31:48,200 the next story. And this next story comes from on YouTube. The episodes 424 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,640 are all in Spanish, so if you are a Spanish speaker, it's fantastic. 425 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,680 But for our Spanish challenge friends, I bring you a story from the 426 00:31:55,759 --> 00:32:01,160 channel in the communities of the Sapotec people of eat More. The one Tepic. 427 00:32:01,599 --> 00:32:07,039 The other Morto is called Chandu. This celebration starts nine days before the 428 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:13,119 mortos. They create these beautiful overrendas with beautiful arches that are made out of 429 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:19,200 banana leaves, flowers and have a wooden base representing the entrance to the underworld. 430 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:24,079 The Sapotec people would then have a very extensive offering. The food must 431 00:32:24,119 --> 00:32:29,039 be given for breakfast, which means the Sapotec people would start cooking the night 432 00:32:29,079 --> 00:32:32,920 prior. They would cook a breakfast feast, including making homemade hot tortillas right 433 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:39,240 off the command frijoles layuda la yudas and I mean all the Mexican breakfast fixings 434 00:32:39,559 --> 00:32:45,200 caela, and they would wait for the biyok show. I don't know how 435 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,960 to spell it, so I only wrote down the pronunciation, So please don't 436 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:51,920 come for me. But this biok show is the wind of the dead, 437 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:57,440 the old wind, and this viento of the other Los Mortos would start early 438 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,279 in the morning on the first day of Shandu. It's a sign that there 439 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:05,200 are that they the mortos, you know, the spirits of the dead are 440 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,319 coming. Once they feel the old wind come, they start moving to the 441 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:13,839 oreanda, they start moving like all the food and stuff. By midday, 442 00:33:14,079 --> 00:33:17,240 new food is put out, rice stews, more freshly made tortillas, and 443 00:33:17,559 --> 00:33:22,039 more drinks and all the fixings for a Mexican lunch. However, this isn't 444 00:33:22,039 --> 00:33:27,440 so simple. When it comes to a Suppletick celebration, one must be careful 445 00:33:27,559 --> 00:33:30,880 who the ofrenda is, for it is believed that the trek to the afterlife 446 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:36,680 takes three months, so only those who have died before August should be on 447 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,480 the ofrenda, because if a person died after August is put on the afrenda, 448 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:45,240 you may pull them from their travel to the afterlife and mess up their 449 00:33:45,319 --> 00:33:51,039 journey and they stay on earth and you risk their wrath. There's a story 450 00:33:51,319 --> 00:33:58,119 from Huchitan. The Saragoza in Wahaka Reslora tells the story. And Rasalas are 451 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,519 people, mostly women, who pray for the dead and guide them, especially 452 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:06,160 those souls who've had a violent death. Their prayers are usually in Latin and 453 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,159 suppultick in this area. Usually when a person dies of natural causes, people 454 00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:15,159 pray for them and the uronas, women who are contracted to will for the 455 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:20,039 deceased, so they have willing accompany them to the afterlife. Wow, this 456 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:25,159 is amazing. Yeah, this is so like like, I don't know what 457 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:30,280 the word is that I'm looking for. I never knew about this until I 458 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,039 read this episode, and it was so intrigued. But when the person dies 459 00:34:34,039 --> 00:34:37,719 of violent death, it is important to bring a resala to guide them to 460 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:43,320 help them. It's called levantarre morto in English. It literally translates to raise 461 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,480 the dead. The ress go to the place that the deceased died and through 462 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:51,920 their prayers they raise up the dead and walk them to the afterlife. Wow. 463 00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:54,760 One Drassala has a story. One day she was walking to her car 464 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:59,400 after work at night, she hears the voice of a man who when sappultick, 465 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,760 tell they murdered me under the tamarind tree. Lift me up with one 466 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:07,079 of your prayers so I can return for a cup of water. His family 467 00:35:07,119 --> 00:35:09,360 had placed an ofrenda for the other mortals with a cup of water. The 468 00:35:09,519 --> 00:35:14,559 Rassaalota was also a medium and knew such things, which is how she was 469 00:35:14,599 --> 00:35:17,280 able to perceive them. The voice of the man told her his name. 470 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:22,519 The next morning that Rassaaloda returned to the place she heard the man and there 471 00:35:22,679 --> 00:35:25,360 was in fact a tamarind tree. She asked around for the man's name, 472 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:30,159 and she was able to locate the man's family. She visited them and finds 473 00:35:30,199 --> 00:35:32,880 out that he had been dead longer than three months. He was murdered right 474 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:37,320 under the tree and was found days later. He bled out and died. 475 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:42,920 Wow. She confirms the facts the man told her with his family. She 476 00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,760 then returns to the place of his murder with help and begins her prayers to 477 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:50,519 raise the dead. The family all day didn't feel the old wind, and 478 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,199 just as they were about to remove the offerings from the Ofranda, the wind 479 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:57,679 of the dead came. Her prayers worked and he was able to have his 480 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:02,679 drink of water. And that is my second story. Wow, that's beautiful. 481 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:09,599 Yes, I love that. I didn't know it was so uh intricate 482 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:14,519 and so yes intricate. Oh my god, that's I was like, what 483 00:36:14,639 --> 00:36:17,440 is the word that I'm looking for? That? Was it so complex? 484 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:22,119 And yeah, there's so many other moving components because I feel like this is 485 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:28,599 just like a like a sped through version of what their culture really is like 486 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,679 and what their beliefs really are like. So I yeah, it's beautiful and 487 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,800 in this particular episode, which I did link in the in the notes. 488 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,800 He has several other stories. I think about like three or four other stories 489 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:47,880 that are equally as wow and have to do with put this tradition in particular 490 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:53,239 where it's it's uh sepletheic beliefs. Wow. I got to listen to those. 491 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:57,000 Yes, i'll send you the link. It's it's in the notes, 492 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,599 but i'll send it to you directly, and I will try to remember to 493 00:37:00,639 --> 00:37:05,000 put it in the show notes. Okay, I have one more short one. 494 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,159 This was found by Dawn on a website that I cannot remember, but 495 00:37:08,159 --> 00:37:12,920 it's a website where people submit their own scary stories and it was in Spanish 496 00:37:13,079 --> 00:37:16,239 translated it thank you, Don and yeah, I wish I remember the website, 497 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,000 but I haven't written down somewhere. I just don't feel like looking for 498 00:37:20,039 --> 00:37:22,280 it right now. I'll try to remember to also put it in the show 499 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:28,000 notes. Okay, So here is that story. My name is Kernimo. 500 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:32,119 I'm currently forty eight years old, and this marks eighteen years since this event 501 00:37:32,199 --> 00:37:36,679 happened. I admit that prior to this event, I had always been skeptical 502 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,800 about the supernatural, but this event changed my perception. Let me start by 503 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:45,199 saying that I lived in Nesa, Gualco, Yot, Mexico, and worked 504 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:52,079 in now Now. Of course, now I'm like stuttering with this word, 505 00:37:52,159 --> 00:37:55,360 and worked in now Galpan. That one was harder for some reason, but 506 00:37:55,400 --> 00:38:00,519 it looks easier, wow, whatever, which is on the other side of 507 00:38:00,519 --> 00:38:04,039 the city. So in order to get to work, I had to leave 508 00:38:04,039 --> 00:38:07,920 my house by five in the morning. During the time this incident happened, 509 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:12,360 I was renting a home in the neighborhood of Las Mara Villas and lived with 510 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,320 my two daughters and my wife while my brother in law, Pedro, and 511 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:19,400 his family rented the house next door. The week this happened, though, 512 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,199 Pedro and his wife had been arguing, so he had left and was staying 513 00:38:22,199 --> 00:38:27,960 with one of his brothers, Vicente, so I didn't expect to see him. 514 00:38:28,159 --> 00:38:30,559 But one morning I got up early and got ready for work like I 515 00:38:30,639 --> 00:38:34,559 usually do. On my way out of the house, I saw a man 516 00:38:34,639 --> 00:38:37,800 standing outside Pedro's house as if he was waiting for the door to open. 517 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:42,239 When I passed by the man, I realized that it was Pedro and figured 518 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,000 he had probably stopped by to visit his son. When I passed by him, 519 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:49,320 I said good morning, but I didn't receive a response. Later, 520 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,639 while I was at work, I received a call from my wife informing me 521 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:57,039 that she was heading to Wahaka with my two daughters because Pedro had died early 522 00:38:57,079 --> 00:39:01,920 in the morning. What how, what time did it happen? I asked 523 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:06,199 my wife. I saw him this morning before I came to work, I 524 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,239 said. My wife told me that that bather. Why was I gonna say 525 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:15,719 battle? What the fuck? My wife told me that Pedro had gone to 526 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,559 spend the Day of the Dead with his parents in Guahaka. While he was 527 00:39:19,599 --> 00:39:22,239 there, he also decided to go play basketball on the town's court, where 528 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:28,800 he met several acquaintances. He then stopped some of his relative's homes since he 529 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,719 had planned to leave Wahaka soon. On the final night he was seen alive, 530 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:36,039 he spoke with his mother, who was washing dishes. He told her 531 00:39:36,039 --> 00:39:38,400 to leave the chores to the next morning because it was cold out, so 532 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:42,960 they decided to go to sleep, But at around three in the morning, 533 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,039 my father in law began to hear the dog's barking and the horses neighing, 534 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:51,840 so he woke up to check what was triggering the animals. He realized that 535 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,679 his son, Pedro was also making strange noises. Apparently he had just gone 536 00:39:55,719 --> 00:40:00,679 into respiratory arrest. Unfortunately, the there were no health centers in town, 537 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:06,480 and within minutes my brother in law was dead. To be honest, I 538 00:40:06,519 --> 00:40:09,199 think that's why Pedro visited his relatives that weekend. He knew it was the 539 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:14,159 last time he would see them. That's why the dogs barked and the horses 540 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:19,119 made They knew death was waiting to take him. I'm also certain it was 541 00:40:19,199 --> 00:40:22,760 him who I saw outside his house almost an hour after he died in Guahaka. 542 00:40:23,119 --> 00:40:28,679 I believe his spirit went to say bye to his son. Yes, 543 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:35,079 Oh, I was very spooky. It is it is, and I'm assuming 544 00:40:35,159 --> 00:40:37,920 he saw him in like a full fledged looking human now, like yeah, 545 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:42,199 like a translucent spirit. I don't know what ghosts look like. I've never 546 00:40:42,199 --> 00:40:47,920 seen one, obviously, but he must have looked like his normal to have 547 00:40:49,039 --> 00:40:52,239 said good morning to him and just like think he saw him. That's is 548 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:59,000 crazy. Yeah, yeah, that's terrifying. It reminds me of the other 549 00:40:59,199 --> 00:41:01,920 except that's when take place around the other Mortos. But the other story from 550 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:07,039 the Monoplula where this guy runs into his old friend he has like lunch with 551 00:41:07,159 --> 00:41:12,320 him, yeah, and then later finds out that he had died. That's 552 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,679 that's always crazy to me. Like what It's like, what what do you 553 00:41:15,679 --> 00:41:20,079 mean that? Did I just have like lunch with a dead person? Fuck 554 00:41:20,159 --> 00:41:23,239 that? And like right right, it's not spooky in the moment. I'd 555 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:29,760 be freaking out. After one, I would throw up, like oh no, 556 00:41:30,519 --> 00:41:34,880 yeah, I would be. I would be terrified, especially because, 557 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,960 like I mean, I always picture them being like, you know, translucent 558 00:41:37,039 --> 00:41:39,719 and like you can tell it's a ghost, but like I guess you can't 559 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:45,599 always obviously, or all those stories wouldn't exist. They're so solid. Yeah 560 00:41:46,039 --> 00:41:53,320 crazy, Yeah, Yeah, I don't like it. We did get a 561 00:41:53,559 --> 00:42:00,360 Patreon member that asked me or messaged us on Patreon to ask if we would 562 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:04,440 be okay with sharing what we put on our dad? Are you okay with 563 00:42:04,599 --> 00:42:08,519 telling people what you put on there? Yes? I am okay. It's 564 00:42:08,599 --> 00:42:13,079 like video because I haven't put mine up or like what I generally put it 565 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,920 saying what you put up? Yeah, I'll record video uh later, probably 566 00:42:17,039 --> 00:42:23,079 this weekend. But I guess everybody is different For me, I put actual 567 00:42:23,199 --> 00:42:28,599 pictures. I know for some people that's not okay, you have to put 568 00:42:28,679 --> 00:42:31,679 yeah, like some people don't believe in putting pictures. Some people just put 569 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:36,599 artifacts that belong to that person, so that's you know, that's I also 570 00:42:36,679 --> 00:42:39,159 put artifacts that belong to people, like who have passed. So I put 571 00:42:39,199 --> 00:42:45,480 both pictures and artifacts. Like last year, I had my grandfather's picture along 572 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:49,679 with the watch that belonged to him, so you know, artifacts in that. 573 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:54,440 And then I put the candles, the you know, the saint candles. 574 00:42:54,719 --> 00:43:00,320 I put those. I do put like some artwork that represents like bull 575 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,320 who are in my ancestry that I don't know, So I have like just 576 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,360 of different people from Mexico that look different, but like since I don't know 577 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:14,320 who is in my line. But also like for many anybody in Mexico who 578 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:21,280 has uh had who aren't remembered who you know, oh, people don't, 579 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,039 So I do something like that. It's not necessarily what's it called, but 580 00:43:24,079 --> 00:43:27,239 it's like, hey, you know, like you're not forgotten. And I 581 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,639 understand that there's a lot of people in our history who will not be remembered 582 00:43:30,679 --> 00:43:35,599 because they were murdered or erased or you know what have you? So I 583 00:43:35,639 --> 00:43:39,480 do that, and then I have coppal, the incense copal burning. What 584 00:43:39,599 --> 00:43:46,039 else I have like all sorts of candles, lots of white candles. I 585 00:43:46,079 --> 00:43:51,760 do t like candles because I'm like, you know what if step on after 586 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,400 like four hours? And then I do the fake led candles because I don't 587 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:59,800 want to have a fire at night. Yeah yeah, I'm like this, 588 00:44:00,119 --> 00:44:05,920 listen, ancestors, you get led candles. I'm sorry, but I gotta 589 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:09,320 be saved. It's not that count. It's twenty twenty three. I have 590 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:15,760 ADHD. I cannot risk burning my house down because I will forget to put 591 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:22,159 this out exactly. So I have led candles that I put out in the 592 00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:27,519 last like six hours, which is great nice, and they're on a timer 593 00:44:27,639 --> 00:44:31,320 so it's six hours on, eighteen hours off, so I don't have to 594 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:36,320 do anything. So it's that, and then what else do I put? 595 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:40,760 I have a raboso as the base. I have puppet picado. I have 596 00:44:42,559 --> 00:44:49,000 like little calaca artwork, like little sugar skulls work, and yet it's just 597 00:44:49,599 --> 00:44:54,039 not much. I do have fake flowers because I my kids are older, 598 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:59,519 but they still are kids, and I'm not trying to have like everything there 599 00:44:59,599 --> 00:45:02,400 ruined. Yeah, but I might do fresh flowers this year. I did 600 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,119 a little bit of fresh flowers last year, but not as much as I 601 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:13,199 like. Yeah, and water drinks, I sumped. I have like vodka 602 00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:19,360 that I put out my grandmother who liked it, and because I don't drink, 603 00:45:19,639 --> 00:45:23,480 but I do have those small little party bottle what are they called, 604 00:45:24,039 --> 00:45:27,559 like a shot glass? No, but the little bottles that they give you 605 00:45:27,599 --> 00:45:30,079 like an airlines. Oh yeah, I don't know what they're called, Like 606 00:45:30,119 --> 00:45:35,440 a party size, Yeah, like a party sun sized little alcoholic drinks. 607 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,559 So that's I have a few of those, and I put like a variety 608 00:45:37,599 --> 00:45:40,920 out and I put some like snacks and stuff. I don't really do the 609 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:45,920 food thing because my altar is really small. Yeah, but I do do 610 00:45:45,039 --> 00:45:50,079 like snacks, like, hey, like here's some you know, Mexican candies 611 00:45:50,119 --> 00:45:54,960 and stuff and American candies for the family that that liked, you know, 612 00:45:55,159 --> 00:45:59,840 American candies for both. But I don't really do the food thing. I 613 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,199 do the drinks thing, but that's about it. And then yeah, I 614 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:06,239 throw away the food after we don't touch the food that's on the altar. 615 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:10,480 We just throw it away. Yeah, I have a very tiny one, 616 00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:15,119 so you know, like those years ago that used to be like five dollars. 617 00:46:15,159 --> 00:46:16,639 Now because of inflation, I think they're like fifteen ninety nine. But 618 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:22,119 I used to have these like very small like all black side tables. I 619 00:46:22,119 --> 00:46:25,000 don't know if you ever saw them, They're very small. So that's what 620 00:46:25,079 --> 00:46:29,320 I use because that's the only extra like table that I have. And it's 621 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,679 like in the corner of the kitchen because there's a little space there. So 622 00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:37,480 I put my blanket that I got in San Juan de Rios. It's like 623 00:46:37,519 --> 00:46:40,320 you know those like classic like Mexican you know, like blankets, like a 624 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:44,760 striped one. It's not like a riboso but it's like god riboso material, 625 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:47,639 but in like a blanket form. So that's what goes on the table. 626 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:52,519 And then because it's so small, I only have room for really, so 627 00:46:52,599 --> 00:46:57,800 I put one big, like eight x ten picture I have of him where 628 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,639 he's wearing an at Last shirt because he loved at Last, and then I 629 00:47:01,639 --> 00:47:06,519 have two smaller pictures of him that I also liked. He when we went 630 00:47:06,559 --> 00:47:08,440 over there in twenty seventeen, he gave me an Adlas hat, So the 631 00:47:08,519 --> 00:47:13,039 hat goes on the Again, it's a very small alter, so I don't 632 00:47:13,039 --> 00:47:16,760 have it on the altar. My doors that go to my backyard or right 633 00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:21,039 behind the altar, and there's curtains there, so I put you know those 634 00:47:21,119 --> 00:47:23,079 like things that you can clip on to the glue onto the wall, and 635 00:47:23,199 --> 00:47:25,719 I have like a little yeah, I put one of those on the curtain, 636 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:30,679 and I hang the hat right above the altar. It it does, 637 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:35,960 it works, so that goes above that. And then I get him two 638 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,360 of the you know, the the bread that I mentioned, the La novia, 639 00:47:38,559 --> 00:47:42,280 because he always had two. He couldn't have one by itself. It 640 00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,199 was always two, so I got I would Yeah, I put two on 641 00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:51,199 a little plate and then the the is the third one that goes on this 642 00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,480 like long plate that I have. He also loved massa ban that was like 643 00:47:54,519 --> 00:47:59,199 one of his favorite candies. So a couple of masaan is because he also 644 00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:05,360 didn't just have one, he always had two. And then there's this uh 645 00:48:05,599 --> 00:48:09,960 cotton not cotton, my bad coconut coconut long Mexican candy. They're like, 646 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:14,079 oh white and then usually pink at the end. I don't like coconut, 647 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,440 so I don't like it. But he loved that candy, so that goes 648 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:22,039 on there. And then like, uh, glass bottle of coca because he 649 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:27,960 cannot set at the table without some coca. So that was that's there. 650 00:48:28,079 --> 00:48:32,079 And then there's a white candle and then you know the candles that are like 651 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:38,920 have like and on them, so one with whichever one I find out the 652 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:44,239 store really yeah, because sometimes do they'd be selling out quick? Yeah. 653 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:51,320 Actually I should have gone today because I having bought piccado and it's probably gone, 654 00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,199 and I'm like, fuck, I should have went last weekend. But 655 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,559 I can make it with the cricket. It's not the same material, but 656 00:48:57,599 --> 00:49:00,480 like it'll do you know my last longer because my peca from less you got 657 00:49:00,559 --> 00:49:07,360 ripped because it's just like paper. Yeah, oh tissue paper, Yeah, 658 00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,079 I got tissue paper, the tissue paper one. Yeah, so I might 659 00:49:10,159 --> 00:49:14,239 have to make that with the cricket instead, but yeah, bigato. And 660 00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:19,880 then we put some salt on the table. Those candles. Water. There's 661 00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,639 always a cup of water. So I will say, I thankfully don't have 662 00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:29,760 family members who have drowned, but uh, in some if you have a 663 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:34,760 family member who has drowned, do not put water instead make them a separate 664 00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,960 altar, and a lot of places they do make separate altars for different family 665 00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:42,239 members. So for instance, some people will just have their like like you 666 00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,360 do, like just for your grandfather. Yeah, and some people have separate 667 00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:50,880 altars because, uh, like in situations like that where like say one person 668 00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,960 is okay with something but the other one was not in their lifetime, so 669 00:49:55,039 --> 00:49:58,960 you kind of separate both of them. And that's totally fine. Again, 670 00:49:59,039 --> 00:50:02,480 there's so right wrong way to do this really, but yeah, my puts 671 00:50:02,519 --> 00:50:06,440 everyone on there and she's like, Bella, I know you didn't like she 672 00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,559 didn't like my grandpa, and she's like, but whatever, you gotta deal 673 00:50:08,559 --> 00:50:15,440 with it because you're all sitting next to each other. There was oh and 674 00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:22,639 then the flower the simp, I can't pronounce it, yes, thank you. 675 00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:25,920 Yeah, so and that is also those are hard to find here, 676 00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:31,119 like they really hard to find here, like hard hard, but like they 677 00:50:31,119 --> 00:50:37,400 go fast and I don't get to go to the grocery s very often. 678 00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:40,880 I'm like disabled, they can't drive, so oh right by the time I 679 00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:45,639 go, it's gone. So in the corner is the street where all the 680 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:51,559 like Mexican restaurants and grocery stores are at and there's always people that are selling 681 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,559 the flowers outside and yeah, so there's no way to run out. But 682 00:50:55,800 --> 00:51:00,760 what does run now is the picato that always runs out, no puppet pick 683 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,960 out. Yeah, and and so yeah, it's gonna be I think it's 684 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,559 gonna be maybe a little bit more elaborate this year. I got a few 685 00:51:07,599 --> 00:51:13,719 more things. Uh, but let's see. But yeah, I'll probably record 686 00:51:14,039 --> 00:51:16,400 and then send you the video. Yeah, we'll post pictures of them. 687 00:51:16,519 --> 00:51:21,519 We posted pictures of our and that is last year too, or fans. 688 00:51:21,679 --> 00:51:30,719 So yeah, but yeah, I guess this brings us to the end of 689 00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:36,239 the episode. Yes, do you have any spooky recommendations? Oh jeez, 690 00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:42,599 I was watching spooky shit too, I actually was, and now like you 691 00:51:43,039 --> 00:51:45,760 told me, and it all went poof, poof, it just went blank. 692 00:51:46,159 --> 00:51:51,480 Yeah, what information? We have nothing. I'm trying to remember what 693 00:51:51,679 --> 00:51:55,400 I've watched, and I don't think I watched Beetle Juice. That's the one 694 00:51:55,400 --> 00:52:00,199 I can remember. But that's because my daughter loves Beetle Juice, a classic. 695 00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:05,039 I haven't seen it in forever. I like it just because Michael Keaton 696 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,079 what, No, I don't know, but like him as an actor. 697 00:52:10,159 --> 00:52:14,320 I was obsessed with Him'm like, okay, I almost thought you were going 698 00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:21,880 to say that you liked him. No, Michael Keaton like younger version Chef's 699 00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:27,239 kiss really really interesting. Okay, I'll have to look him up because I 700 00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:31,239 don't know he played Batman one time. Yeah, I just don't remember what 701 00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:37,000 the younger version of him looks like. To be honest version Now it is 702 00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:44,960 fine, too, really interesting taste. Listen, I used to like have 703 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,400 a crush on Marilyn Manson. So I'm not the person asked for a beating. 704 00:52:50,079 --> 00:52:54,000 You're right, No, I'm just kidding. I didn't mean to sound 705 00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:59,519 all judging. I judge my own taste. And then, oh, I 706 00:52:59,559 --> 00:53:01,960 said, I just looked up a picture of him. He had quite the 707 00:53:02,079 --> 00:53:07,519 hair. Let me send you the screenshaw of his hair. Wait, Marilyn 708 00:53:07,519 --> 00:53:10,920 Manson or Michael Keaton. No, no, no, Michael Keaton ok Marlon 709 00:53:12,079 --> 00:53:15,039 or Marilyn Manson scared me. No, that's fair. He scared a lot 710 00:53:15,039 --> 00:53:19,559 of people. Yeah, if someone said they liked him, I was like, 711 00:53:20,119 --> 00:53:24,920 no, he scares me. Oh my god, fancy hair. Do 712 00:53:25,039 --> 00:53:31,039 you see his hair? Wow? Like voluminous and like he took care of 713 00:53:31,079 --> 00:53:36,519 his hair for sure. Yeah, it looks fantastic, like eighties, like 714 00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,119 that's the hair you want, or girl, that's that's the hair that's now. 715 00:53:42,039 --> 00:53:45,440 Yeah, right, But no, I haven't seen anything new. I've 716 00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:52,519 been rewatching The Treehouse Terror Simpsons. Oh yeah, I haven't watched that in 717 00:53:52,599 --> 00:53:55,840 forever. Oh yeah, Like Hulu has them all put together, like in 718 00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:59,719 the same place, so I just like put them on and those are my 719 00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,400 own. Those are the only Simpsons episodes that I like, so I watch 720 00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:07,400 them. But I haven't meaning to watch Cobweb on Hulu. I haven't What 721 00:54:07,559 --> 00:54:10,239 is that one? I haven't heard of it. Let me read you the 722 00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:15,039 synopsis. Here, Peter confides in his parents about mysterious tapping in his bedroom 723 00:54:15,079 --> 00:54:19,360 ball but they say it's just an old house. As his fear grows, 724 00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:23,079 so do his doubts. That's weird. I'm gonna check that out. I 725 00:54:23,159 --> 00:54:29,719 did say that there's a new horror slasher movie coming out called Thanksgiving. I 726 00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,440 was like, that's weird, really, Yeah, it's just that's what it's 727 00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:38,440 called, Just Thanksgiving, and it's like on Thanksgiving and somebody's going around killing 728 00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:44,000 towns people. Oh okay, well, I'll probably watch that. Is it 729 00:54:44,119 --> 00:54:46,679 like a horror comedy? I don't know if it's a horror comedy. It 730 00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:51,760 just looks like like a slasher. Oh okay, okay, just a name 731 00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:55,840 gives horror comedy to me, so right, okay, but yeah, I 732 00:54:55,840 --> 00:55:01,639 guess that has been this episode. Oh right?
