In the small town of Puerto Berrio in Colombia some say the souls of the dead reside amongst the living. Locals take the traditional 'El Mes de las Animas', or the Month of the Souls, very seriously - not just praying for the dead, but also 'adopting' and caring for unidentified corpses - mostly people who've been killed in the civil conflict. Natalio Cosoy went to see what it's all about. Image: The Animero blessing the dead in Puerto Berrio, Colombia Credit: Natalio Cosoy
