Espooky Tales

The new year, it’s usually a time for new goals, new dreams and a chance to start over. Today, we bring different Latin American New Year’s traditions. While there are some things we all do to bring in the new year, like shoving 12 grapes down our throats, hugging our familia when the clock strikes midnight, there are many traditions that are very unique. Before we talk about New year’s, we share a spooky listener story.

Caves are dark, isolated and easy to get lost in. There are many reasons to find them frightening, but there are caves that are feared for one specific being.
