Epic Scary Stories

[Shadows]

Please take the time to write about Epic scary stories that are related to your neighborhood, city or culture.

A story will be taken from some website I found. Apparently, many people have these experiences @ the same time in different occasions.

It's called: "La Llorona; The Crying Woman"

La Llorona is pronounced La Yo-Row-Na.

I believe it pertains to Latino Culture living near Southern California and Mexico.

Here is someone else's version I just read online, after the quote ends, I will post the version that was told to me.

My mom is a first generation American. Her parents moved from Chihuahua, Mexico to El Paso, Texas before she was born. The supernatural was very prevalent in both sides of her family. My grandfather claims that we are descended from the Apache warlord Victorio and that the spirit of Victorio appeared to him and his brothers when he was a young man. My mom had many experiences with ghosts and spirits but she said that none was more terrifying than her experience with La Llorona.

Her family lived in a decent sized house on the banks of a canal on the south side of El Paso. At the time, the family had three dogs. My mom describes all of them as the toughest dogs on the block. One night in the dead of winter, my grandfather was telling my mom one of his many great stories, when there was a loud commotion in the front yard where the dogs were. The dogs were barking to wake the dead. My mom and her dad went outside into the front to see what was going on. They were joined by my grandmother. They had not noticed this before but a fog was slowly creeping around the street. The air was chill, but different from the cold of winter, the cold went down to the very bone. The three dogs were barking towards the fog or more accurately toward the canal that was by the house.

Suddenly a blood curdling scream pierced the night air. My mom described it as the most terrifying cry she has heard in her entire life. She says that it lasted for a full minute before finally dissipating. When the scream left, the fog lifted and the dogs returned to the way they were before. My mom asked her dad what the scream was but all he said was, "La Llorona" and told her to go to bed. Naturally she couldn't sleep and instead listened to her parents debate over whether or not to call the cops and report a murder or something.

In the morning, when it was light out, my grandfather went down to the canal but unsurprisingly found nothing. When he came back he told my mom the legend of the woman who drowned her own children and is now fated to cry out for them on the banks of the river where she killed them. And to this day, my mom is convinced that she heard La Llorona on that night so many years ago.

The Version I heard:

My Aunt was about 22 years old when she first heard the Crying Woman. It happened VERY often and everyone would confirm it around the city she lived. Every night, any time between 11:00 PM and 3AM, people would hear the crying woman. She would say, "Babies.....Children.....I'm Sorry.....For-give me....Where are you?.....Please..... come to me.... *Screams*"

Eventually, she would say there names. More so, she is spotted ONLY around puddles created in the rain b/c she is looking for them in the water. Apparently, she drowned her kids for the love of someone that only wanted to be with her and not her kids. The man ended up not wanting to be with her after she drowned all 5 kids.

So 'till this very day, people around that city and sometimes even around other cities when it rains, hear La Llorna, the Crying woman.

Personally I never heard anything, but I believe it. It is heard by people that never heard the story before and end up visiting the area and too much people experience seeing her or hearing her at the same time.
