    (continued from previous page)
    not allow the children go out on the night of the dead for fear the fairies would get them, but it is not like that now.
    When the dead people are coming back, if the people of the house are not in bed, they do not come near the house until the people go to bed because they do not like their friends to see them.
    Before the people arise in the morning they leave and go away again for another year. No one ever saw them going away or coming in to the house.
