THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA

In 1509 in Mexico, an event took place that gave rise to the legend of La Llorona, or “The Weeping Woman.” The legend says that when a woman learned her husband had cheated on her, she took her two children and drowned them in the village river. After realizing what she had done, she fell into a deep depression, blamed herself, and took her own life as well. They say that since her death was caused by an act of rage, it wasn’t the end for that woman, as they say she is still searching for her two children in the real world. They say that whenever you hear her crying, you’ll see her everywhere until she snatches another pair of young children—usually siblings—and drowns them wherever she finds water. Is it her? Is she a demon? Is it just a legend? Who knows... Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
