I have to admit, I found the video creepy! But it's an interesting event. It's been going on for decades, eh?

Take care,

Zozobra is Old Man Gloom. residents are supposd to put their worries & fears on slips of paper which are put inside the puppet. his burning is sd to make them vanish. "go up in smoke."
