La Llorona
In Mexican folklore, La Llorona is a ghostly woman who wanders the streets at night crying for her lost children. Legend has it that she drowned her own children in a fit of rage and despair, and now she roams the earth searching for them.
Many people claim to have seen La Llorona near bodies of water, her cries echoing through the night. Some say she appears as a beautiful woman in white, while others describe her as a terrifying specter with hollow eyes.
Parents often use the tale of La Llorona to scare their children into behaving, warning them that if they misbehave, she will come for them in the night. The legend of La Llorona serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of unchecked anger and despair.
