February 03, 2023 Los Ghosts Mios
Once upon a time, there was a child. They lay sleeping in their room, dreaming of whatever little kids dream of. Without warning, without knowing why. The child suddenly woke up staring at the foot of the bed. There, right there inside their room stood a man. Or, well, not exactly a man. It looked like a man, a short man with a distinctive hat. A very distinctive Fedora style hat.

July 30, 2022 Haunting at the Hotel Figueroa
Today, I am going to share a personal experience I had over the course of two day at the Hotel Figueroa in downtown Los Angeles. As a wannabe-skeptic, it left me questioning everything I thought I knew.

November 19, 2021 Duendes
Folklore is full of stories of Little People known by many names. The Wompanoag tribe call them pukwudgies. The Comanche call them nunnupi. In Scandinavia they’re called nisse. In Great Britain, Ireland, and Scotland there are fae, pixies, tylwyth teg, and broonies. And those of us from regions settled by the Spanish or Portuguese, anywhere from the Philippines to the Caribbean, have duendes.

November 05, 2021 Las Sirenas
Thanks to Disney, most people imagine mermaids as beautiful humanoids, with human upper bodies and beautiful fish tails, who rescue humans and sing with all their sea-dwelling friends. But mermaids, called sirenas in Spanish, have historically been much darker...

CW: violence, sexual assault, swearing, ableist language. Sources listed at https://ayghostmio.weeblycom/episodes
Imagine walking home after Mass on Good Friday in the lovely town of Seborucal, near Remedios, Cuba. You and your family are chatting, perhaps planning your Easter dinner. Suddenly, a loud scream cuts through the night. The sound sends adrenaline rushing through your bloodstream. Somewhere, somewhere close, there is a woman in pain.

October 15, 2021 La Caridad Del Cobre
My grandparents took care of me every single day after school and all through the school holidays, until I was in high school and had to ride a bus home. When I’d want to nap, I wander to the back room of their house to lie down. Perched on top of a dresser in the corner of that room was what I thought was a beautiful statue of the Virgin Mary. Standing on a crescent moon, she loomed over a small row boat being tossed on the waves with three sailors aboard, her arms open, a golden halo around her head.

October 01, 2021 El Cucuy
Every culture since the beginning of time has horrific stories they tell their children. These stories are often intended to be cautionary tales, ways to keep children safe. Don't trust strangers, they may be fae and take you away. Don't get too close to the river, ghosts may pull you under. Don't wander in the woods, a witch may try to eat you.
One such story, common across Spanish and Portuguese speaking regions, is that of El Cucuy. This creature is known by many names. Whether you call it La Cuca, El Coco, or El Cucuy, the moral of the story is the same. You'd better behave or something terrible will happen.

September 17, 2021 Santeria, Part 2
Welcome to Episode 2: Santeria. Santeria, also called Lucumi or La Regla de Ocha, is an Afro-Cuban religion, created by enslaved African people seeking to hold on to their traditional beliefs disguised as Catholicism. Today I'll cover Lucumi rituals, ceremonies, and more. Special thanks to Reddit users okonkolero and quakeroatmeal7 for allowing me to share their experiences.
