Most ghost stories about La Florida Ranch were told by word of mouth. Strangely enough, no one would remain at La Florida after dark. One of the employees told Hernan, "This place has many ghost that we leave as soon as the sun begins to set." The ghost most frequently mentioned at La Florida was Candelaria, a 17 year old girl who was said committed suicide by drowning and believed to still haunt the ranch. One night, Hernan found Candelaria's lost grave and immediately realized that the story of Candelaria was not a legend. She was a real lice person who lived and died during the mod-1800's. Hernan realized her story had to be recorded before it became just another Cuento Viejo, or legend. If the story of Candelaria is true, what about the other ghost stories frequently repeated by the older generations?
