Overview

Israel Bojorge describes suffering souls passing at midnight between All Saints’ and All Souls’ days, praying or moaning. They hand an onlooker a candle and promise to return; by morning the candle becomes bones. A priest prescribes prayer, a crying child, a crowing rooster and holy water; the returning procession disappears.

Bojorge remembers childhood murmurs and shuttered households in La Unión, rather than claiming he personally saw the souls. At MUNA he dramatized the procession with a child. He acknowledges variants and interprets this one as a warning against staying awake late.
