In some towns in Mexico there are dances with masks; it's believed that the souls of the dead temporarily take over the bodies of the living. In that town, the remains of loved ones rest in boxes at the cemetery and, every year, people gather to clean their relatives' bones. If the candles are placed in the shape of a cross, they represent the cardinal points so that souls can find their way home. "It is a beautiful tradition, because people remember their grandparents, their parents, their brothers," he said. "For me it is a triumph that this parade is popular and brings together thousands of people." "Although it began with the saints and the faithful departed, now it has become popular to put movie stars, grandparents, saints and even pets," Martínez said. In the 1930s, President Lázaro Cárdenas promoted the celebration, trying to distance it a little from the Catholic Church and emphasizing its Indigenous, pre-Hispanic roots. This ritual was combined with ancient festivals related to the end of the rainy season, harvest and drought.

It is a festival that gives us belonging and unites us," Martínez said. Countries like Spain, the Philippines, Brazil and Guatemala, among others, also have traditions to celebrate their deceased.

In addition to conveying her love and support, she encouraged me to use my voice, something she said she didn’t get to express as much as she would’ve liked (in other words, write that dang book and teach more). “The relationship between you and your loved one continues.” But it wasn’t until last Thursday, about a week after the reading, when my husband and I were heading to the ice rink, that I realized I should try to capture that photo now to better illustrate this story. I told Hesseltine I didn’t think anything like that existed, but then an intention I’ve had for a photo immediately popped to mind: For several years, I have been wanting to mimic a photo that ran in 1988 in the Record-Courier in Kent, Ohio, of my grandparents roller skating in their senior years. and you are free.” You probably would have better things to do,” she said. Therefore, the idea of haunted houses and malevolent ghosts is simply an inaccurate perception. It’s a matter of how available you are to it. “It’s very healing and loving.” Some people seem to be more attuned to sensing the invisible world, and it can be spooky without the paradigm in which psychics like Hesseltine frame it. “Imagine you don’t have a physical body but still feel, still have a mind and connect with loved ones,” she said.
