This journey around the Haitian Halloween, starts in the center of their culture: The Voodoo. It isn't well known, but them recognize the existence of a Supreme Being who created the universe but it is too far to have a personal relationship with their worshipers. Therefore, the followers of this sect follow the " loa " or minor deities for guidance for their lives. The loa are the spirits of ancestors , animals, natural forces and spirits of good and evil.  Voodoo belief that there are two parts in the human soul . The two parts consist of "ti -bon- ange" ( little angel good) and the " gros -bon- ange" ( great good angel ) . The " gros -bon- ange" is the life force of the body that after death, must return to the cosmos. To ensure that the "ti -bon- ange" have a peaceful rest they have to call the " gros -bon- ange " through a costly ritual involving the sacrifice of a large animal such as a bull, to appease the "ti -bon- ange" . If the spirit of "ti -bon- ange " is not satisfied and not given a peaceful rest , the spirit remains earthbound forever and brings disasters and disease to people. This ritual, also take place one day after the death of a relative.

In the tradition, during Halloween, believers converge at the cemetery, with flowers, food, rum with chili peppers and light candles in commemoration and respect. In there, can find people making offering to the Gede and Baron Samedi (loas) because of their departed family members. Many people will have their faces painted white or chalked to imitate the paleness of the dead. Ritualistic dancers fill the cemetery throughout the day and night. Some people actual believes they can be the "eyes of the death" or even some "loa" seeking offerings and fall into a long trance. 

In January of 2010, the earth shook as if the gods were angry with the population. There is no record of the number of dead an missing people after the quake, but the goverment says there were more than 156.000. The population was devastated. The rituals that had been made had not been sufficient. Sadness and anger mingled in the air with the smell of death. 

It can find pale bodies along the streets, now, full of pieces of the city. It took a long time to recover the faith and the will to live by the Haitian. In fact, 3 years later the process haven't finished. Nowadays, Halloween rituals cannot fulfill the expectations of their Loas, because the number of the deaths. However, the haitians still celebrating with more effort in their own houses, an reconstructed cementery, or even in the same place that some people faced the death, because they have to appease that anger in order to prevent it to happenning again.
