We thank the Virgin of Zapopan for the opportunity to see such a marvelous sight, when the good souls were flying to the sky, shining bright in the moonlight.

My daughters Carmita and Rosalia, instead of sleeping, secretly went to look on the newborn calf. When they arrived to the grove near the cattle-pen they saw the Weeping Woman who started to chase them. They arrived at home sweating from fear. I prayed the Virgin of the Rosary to cure them because even next two days they were shaking and pale. The Virgin worked the miracle, and the girls forgot about their fear. They are alright now.

Amalia and Roberto were kissing under a tree and suddenly heard a crying. They saw the Weeping Woman who was coming in their direction in search of her children. They knew that the ghost sometimes took people thinking they were her children. Amalia and Roberto were scared that she would grab them with her long nail and would take them to the world beyond. But thanks to the Virgin of Zapopan, whom they entrusted to, the ghost didn’t noticed them and passed through. They only heard how her crying fade away in the woods.

My late wife was very jealous. When I got married again, several years after her death, suddenly her ghost started to appear by nights. Her face was angry and she wanted to strangle me. I was scared and prayed to the Virgin of Zapopan so that she would rest her soul. Thanks to the Virgin the ghost never appeared again and rested in peace, I hope.

Alberto Camacho became a widower. It hadn’t been a year when he got married again. But then his late first wife started to appear in the bedroom by nights. Alberto was scared and he prayed to the Virgin of San Juan so that she would make her soul rest in peace. The Virgin decided to help him, and the wife’s ghost never turned back again.

I want to thank God and the Virgin of Guadalupe with this ex-voto because it’s time for the Day of the Dead. Every year I make an altar in memory of my late husband Rogaciano. My heart is filled with joy when I feel the presence of his soul. I am overwhelmed with emotions.

The shadow of my late husband comes at night to look after me. I thank the Virgin for giving me consolation because then I don’t feel lonely.

Virgin, protect us from the ghost who walks by the ranch. Thank you.

One night I worked till late at night. I was coming home, walking near the cemetery, when the ghost of my aunt Clotilde started to pursue me. Only when I invoked the Lord of Work I could escape from it and arrived home safe and sound. Then I ordered few masses for my aunt’s soul and now I dedicate this retablo thanking for saving me.

November 2, on the Day of the Dead, the ghost of my buddy appeared to me protesting because I had approached to his wife. I thank Saint Jude Thaddeus for protection and promise to behave good.

I kept constantly seeing diabolical apparitions. I prayed to Saint Ignatius of Loyola for help, and after that they disappeared.

May you be blessed, my God and my Virgin of Guadalupe. One night I couldn’t sleep because I felt the presence of the famous Weeping Woman. I was so scared, and my husband, Amador Ramirez, was calmly sleeping and didn’t help me. I start praying, and suddenly I felt how instead of a fear, a peace came to my heart. Nothing bad happened to me.

The Weeping Woman is a legendary Mexican character, a ghost of a mother weeping about her dead children.

My husband bought a bed for our children on a garage sale. But it turned out that the bed had belonged to a psychic. So it floated by nights, and we had to call a priest to exorcise the bed. We thank the Virgin of San Juan for the spirits didn’t attack the boys and didn’t possess them.
