Haiti

In this Caribbean island, on November 2 is celebrated the Fet Gede or All Souls Day. The streets of "Puerto Príncipe" are full of people who dress in red and black (the colors of the spirits ), and head to the cemetery to participate in a sacred rite. There, people gather under the high cross of Baron and Maman Brigitte (typical places of the country). Families visit the graves of their friends and family, and they talk as if they could hear from their graves.
