Sayula is the name of a small city in the Mexican state of Jalisco. The city of Sayula is famous for being the home town of Juan Rulfo, one of Mexico's most acclaimed fiction writers of the 20th century. The best known of Rulfo's books "Pedro Paramo" is a surrealist portrait of a man's quest for his Mexican heritage in a small, ghost-populated town many believe to be Sayula. From many years back Sayula has been the subject of a number of ghost stories, the most famous of which, "El Anima de Sayula" was even made into a popular movie. The story of this ghost and his nightly escapades is described in the delightfully bawdy poem of the same name written at the end of the 1800s. The poem has been widely shared throughout the Spanish-speaking world ever since.
