Storied writes “The legend of La Llorona, the “weeping woman,” has terrified generations. This female ghost wanders in the darkness, crying as she searches for her children–the children she murdered. Some even say that she will capture other kids in her desperation. How could a murderous mother become such a cultural symbol?
In this episode, Dr. Zarka traces the history of La Llorona back hundreds of years, showing how her story represents the social history of greater Mexico from Aztec religion to the Spanish Conquistadors.”

My uncle cousin and i seen this woman, the llorona standing in the middle of a river once around midnight while we were out fishing. It was a few years back. What caught our attention was the wailing we herd reverberating off the cliff sides that came from a pale figure that seemed to be floating on top of moving water. Needless to say as we were drifting closer, we booked it out of there as fast as our paddles could paddle. We left the line there and didnt bother with it till the next day. After we talked we come to the conclusion it was her, we all seen and heard the same things and have never returned to that river.

Hi Michael,
We’re you in Mexico when you encountered her?
