La Llorona / The Crying Woman

There are many versions of this popular legend.

The basic version is that a beautiful woman
killed her children in order to be with the man
that she loved, but he rejected her.

She drowned then children, and then after

being rejected, killed herself. The legend
is that she wanders the countryside,
searching for her children, always weeping.
She is said to sometimes kidnap children.
It is also believed that whoever hears La Llorona cry
is marked for death.
Within Mexican society,
she is seen as the
archetype of an evil
woman who has rejected
motherhood for sensual
pleasures, and is doomed
to eternal suffering.
There have been a number of film versions of La
Llorona
A new version will be released
soon:
