Episode 46: The Curse of La Llorona

from MEXICO COLLECT · host Mexico Collect

Luis and Angelo dive into the chilling legend of La Llorona – the Mexican curse that has haunted people for generations.  Once a beautiful woman who married a Spanish nobleman, she drowned her children – and then herself – after he abandoned her for another woman.  For centuries, eyewitnesses have reported seeing her as a ghostly figure in a soaked white dress, long black hair clinging to her hollow-eyed face, wailing for her lost children near rivers, lakes and canals.  Even today parents still warn their kids to get home before dark, or La Llorona will take you.  Hear terrifying firsthand accounts of her haunting appearances across the Southwestern U.S., Mexico, Central and South America – and beyond.
