All the scary characters of Nicaragua's myths and legends take to the streets of Monimbó in Masaya for the annual procession of “Los Agüizotes” on the last Friday in October. The name is derived from the Nahuatl words 𝘢𝘩𝘶𝘪 (water) and 𝘻𝘰𝘵𝘭 (horror). Sometimes called Nicaragua's Halloween, the festival is part of the celebrations in honor of San Jerónimo, Masaya's patron saint. Masked revelers, dressed as horned devils, and local spooks, including “La Cegua” (the horse-faced woman), “El Cadejo” (the demon dog), “La Llorona” (the weeping woman), and “El Padre sin cabeza” (the headless priest), hold candles and torches and shuffle through the town to the sound of 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘴.
