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.”
