The Coabay almost always achieves its objective and has seldom been challenged, since the man has respected in a remarkable way all the facts related to death.
But this spirit has a weakness, which is related to the man or woman who wants to disturb, because as long as they are not frightened by the appearance of the ghost, it will not achieve its purpose and will be forced to leave the spirit of the deceased alone, and you will not find the fun you are looking for in him or in his family.
