In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we reprise one of our favorite episodes. Mexican culture has a strong connection to the dead and deep roots in their beliefs of the supernatural world. These beliefs have evolved over centuries to include experiences with ghosts and spirits. While these and stories can be fun stories to share, we must never forget those who have suffered to teach us these lessons. If we don't pay heed, history will be doomed to repeat itself and cause more legends and murderous lore.

First, an old and malevolent hospital

Followed by a Ouiji board that summons murder

Then, a dance, that leads straight to Hell. 

Finally in our featured story, a love so deep it burns

Otherwise, those planted seeds will rot and that outer influence will grow, that inner evil is bound to come out.
