'I don't want to know where you think you saw a ghost. I want to organically feel it, see it, hear it, communicate with it.' -Sarah Garcia, a Mexican-American psychic medium and ghost hunter
, but a trip with her sister to West Virginia’s Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum stands out. “We were walking through the old offices,” she says. “[My sister] walked out in front of me and I said, ‘I’m going to take a quick picture, give me a second.’ I actually heard footsteps behind me. When I turned around, there was a very tall man standing right in front of me. He just loomed over me as if I wasn’t supposed to be there.” , he didn’t seem surprised.
Some of Garcia’s most potent ghost encounters have taken place in dreams. One involved her childhood hero,, in a premonition of his death. “Two weeks prior to his passing, I had a dream of him,” she recalls. “My mother and I were walking somewhere up a hill and we saw him dressed in his getup, but it was all gold. I ran up the hill and asked, ‘Can I please take a picture with you?’ Walter turned and looked at me.
Both she and Farris agree that while Black and Latine women aren’t represented in ghost hunting, the practice feels intrinsic to their heritages and cultures. “Most of the people in my family are sensitive to spirits. I don’t know if it’s a cultural thing, but it feels like something that’s genetic,” Farris says. “, brujos, whatever you want to call yourself, it’s in our blood,” Garcia adds.
