Lore
La Llorona, the Weeping Woman, is a tragic and terrifying ghost in Mexican-American and Southwestern folklore—a mother who drowned her children in rage or despair and now wanders rivers eternally crying for them. She lures children or unfaithful men to watery graves, a cautionary tale of maternal betrayal, guilt, and the dangers of night near water.
