"If I were, upon dying, to come back as a ghost, I can think of no
more beautiful a city to haunt than Merida" - Carlos Fuentes. What
is it about the story of a haunting that appeals to our nature?
What is it about Merida, with its history dating back to the 16th
century when it was an isolated city in New Spain's Yucatan
peninsula, that is so haunting and haunted? Why does it offer a
rich history from which to draw out the ghosts that live here, some
of which date back to when the Maya ruled in all their glory? There
is, of course, a natural human fascination with ghost stories. In
this collection the author has assembled some of the most
captivating accounts of the ghosts, spirits and souls that inhabit
Mexico's most haunted city. This full-color book offers the
contemporary reader a fascinating insight into the lives-and
afterlives-of some of the more intriguing characters to inhabit
Merida. With riveting accounts of these tales of terror, Merida now
has an authoritative book that tells the stories of the haunted
places and the hauntings that characterize this most enchanting
city in Mexico. Organized by neighborhood, the stories are told in
a manner conducive to self-guided walking tours, with full
addresses at the end of each story to facilitate the wandering of a
curious pedestrian. Whether the hauntings are by dead Maya
sacrificial virgins, lesbian suicides, disappeared Narcos, or
vengeful mistresses, this book, in full color, is filled with
exciting insights into the breathtaking diversity and exuberance of
Merida's paranormal history.
