    Our version in New Mexico relates to the Rio grande river and the ditches for farming. The story was mostly to keep kids from being outside after dark. We were taught that she mistakes you for her kids and takes you away forever, no specifics about ending you. And you were always safe if you were inside a house or car.

      Same story in Colorado. My grandma and mom would tell us the story to make sure we were home by dark. They never said what would happen if she took you tho. I guess they wanted to leave that to our imagination lol. My uncle and a few other have claimed to have seen her one night while working at a factory, while on break and smoking outside near the Arkansas river. This was back in the 90s

    Fun fact, my family has land in mexico. It has a river/creek on the property. When i was a kid i heard this screaming crying near the river. Probably broke a land speed record running back to my granparents house. Ran literally into my grandfather, knocked me on my ass. My grandpa knelt down to check on me and asked me whats wrong. I told him that i heard la llorona. He looked all serious, and took me to the river, rifle in hand. We heard the sound i heard earlier. He started laughing. Then we went into a blind they used for hunting he told me to be quiet and we waited. The crying continued getting closer. I was about to shit and piss my self in fear. Took out my crucifix and started doing the rosary silently. The she walked around the corner. Not la llarona but a cougar. Made the same sound. My grandfather explained while la llarona was something to be afraid of, most of the time it happend to be a cougar. And as he put it "mijo, you dont want to run into either of them alone. So stay by the house unless your with me or grandma." And i did. Never went by the river again by myself.

      Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if another origin to the story was someone unfamiliar with the mating habits of Cougars and Bobcats and while walking around at night heard their mating shrieks and thought it was a woman crying(which technically it is, since it’s a female Cougar/Bobcat calling out to all the eligible males in the area). Hardly supernatural but doesn’t make it any less scary.

    The only reason I know about La Llorona is from my babysitter when I was little. She was Mexican and told my brother and I the legend of the weeping woman. She told us that if we cried La Llorona would mistake us for her dead children and take us away. Funnily enough, I remember my babysitter being a sad young woman (she cried a lot over her boyfriend and threw up a lot when she thought we couldn't hear/weren't inside). As a child, I thought of her as La Llorona.

    La Llorona's story is an extremely tragic one, full of loss and death. her husband was to blame, as was she.
    La Llorona still has a sliver of humanity inside her, seeing as the moment she had with Chris.
    She's a spirit of sadness and grievance, as she's been searching for over 400 years for her children, and she wants them back with any method possible. The "horrible sound" that put out the candles sounded not like an angry scream, but rather a scream of longing and sadness.

I could her that she was walking by our house and wailing “Ay mis hijos. Aaaaaaayyyyy mis hijos” We had a sliding bathroom door and it was shaking. You know how windows, doors, etc, vibrate when a car plays very loud music? That’s what it was like. I couldn’t move I was so afraid. As she walked away I was able to move and ran to my parents bed and I got in bed with them. They were completely asleep. The next morning I told them what happened and told my grandma. Apparently the street where we lived used to be a stream. And apparently other neighbors also heard her that night. That was the first and only time I heard her wails. Granted, I moved to the US like a year afterwards so. But yeah. I’ll never forget the wails or the fear. I found a YT not long ago claiming they recorded her wails. When I played it, I kid you not, I felt the same fear I felt back then. I had listened to others and had never felt that effect. It was the same tone, same wail I heard.

    I heard another - less popular - version of la llorona story from one of my Mexican friends where la llorona was like a protector (goddess or mother figure) of the Aztecs (or something like that) and she would cry “hay mis hijos” as she felt the arrival of the conquistadors basically saying like hay mis hijos (oh my children) who will protect them from such horrible fate that awaits them?? It’s a far less popular version but a favorite one in my opinion. It depicts her as a caring goddess or mother-figure instead of an evil entity.

      That might be the original folk legend, which got evolved into version we know now, because there was quite literal translation of "her children". It's not unheard off, I studied Slavic literature, so we covered lot of urban legends and folklore, and it's quite common to have couple of different versions of same folk tale, because back then legends were spread from one person to another in person, as books and literacy wasn't still that common.

    Good breakdown. I grew up in Mexico and the version I was told (or rather taunted by my older cousins when I was a little girl) was the one where she killed her kids with a knife or puñal rather than drowning them (although the drowning version has become more popular). There was a good 60s black and white Mexican film about La Llorona that is the version where she is called Luisa. It doesn't have your modern day jump scares but it is a classic and does a better job with showing the tragedy of the villainous spirit and her victims.
    I wonder if La Llorona will appear in some form or another in the Conjuring movies or the other spin offs. Given that childish laughter Anna heard at the end, it could be a demon or some other kind of evil entity that was always latching on to La Llorona or she latched on to it to continue her demented hauntings. That or it is one of her victims, perhaps one of her kids who refuses to pass on to the afterlife, and like his mom, he'll wreck havoc.

    I remember the legend of La Llarona I grew up with was very different from the version in the Counjurverse. The version I was told was that she was a young widow with two children who caught the eye of a wealthy Spaniard. He began courting her and gifting her with beautiful dresses. She would frequently ask him about marriage but he would always change the subject. One day he finally told her that they couldn't be married bc she had children from another man. This devastated her and she began crying uncontrollably. She later changed into a beautiful white dress that the Spaniard had given her and had been saving for a special occasion. She then took her children to the river and stabbed them repeatedly, then let their bodies float away. After she killed her children, she went to the wealthy Spaniard's villa, told him what she did, and then asked if they could be married since she no longer had children from another man. The Spaniard was horrified by the widow's actions but even more so by her appearance. Her once pristine white dress, as well as her hands and face, were now stained with blood. The Spaniard told her that he had never intended to marry her, that she had only been useful to him while his wife was still in Spain (basically she was his mistress). He then sent her away and told her that if she ever came near his villa again, he would have her killed on sight. The widow was suddenly faced with the realization of what she had done and ran back to the river to find her children. However, the current had carried them out of sight and she began wailing for her lost children. She started traveling up and down the riverbank in search of her children and came upon a child who she thought to be one of her own. When she realized that it wasn't her child, she killed him and let the river take him away. The boy's mother saw what she did and cursed the widow to forever roam the river in search of her lost children

    Oh my god, I remember learning about La Llorona when I was a kid, when I took a Spanish class, and it gave me nightmares for days, nightmares of a ghostly woman taking me and my siblings away, and being drowned (which I think is my greatest fear). It took my father telling me that “ghosts don’t travel that far”, since I live in the Midwest, and La Llorona was too far away to care about me, for me to finally get over that fear.

    "La Limpia" translated to, the cleansing." As I understand it, it uses the fetal chicken inside the egg to absorb negative/malevolent energy from a person or thing. Then you discard it away from home--preferably at a crossroads or in a public place to confuse the energy so it's less likely to find its way back to you.

    My nanny (who was Mexican) told me there are two people who are meant to be warned by La Llorona's story; children and young women. The children were warned to behave and stay away from bodies of water lest they drowned. The other people, young women, is a bit more complicated. Maria is seduced by the wealthy man and is usually unmarried. She then becomes abandoned by her wealthy lover who takes a younger and much more suitable girl as his bride, which leads to her drowning her children. Young women were supposed to take this as a warning to not listen to wealthy men who won't make them their wives.

There's a human desire in la llorona, but she's lost so much of her humanity she's just an embodiment of that desire (to have her children back) and nothing more. She thinks, is conscious, but has lost so much of herself it's almost animalistic. Very sad.

    14:31 Outside the movie, just for everyone's information, this is an old magician/medium/scammer's trick. Usually they'll crack the egg to reveal a wad of hair mixed in and say it's a sign of a curse or a bad omen or something. (turn back now if you don't want to know the secret.)
    In actuality the hair was concealed in their hand and pushed into the egg with their thumb or forefinger to make it seem like the hair was inside the egg. You can also substitute the hair with anything that is small enough to be hidden in your hand, like a dye packet, figurine, photo, etc.
    For something more elaborate like this, it's simple enough to carefully drill a small hole in the shell to mix something in the egg beforehand. It's a neat trick, but if someone tries to charge you money to remove an evil curse or something just walk away.

The llorona is a spirit in the same category as la liebre which the dog like rabbit headed creature the John bell saw while hunting. The haunting began sometime in 1817 when John Bell witnessed the apparition of a strange creature resembling a dog. Just spirits not ghost.

    I rember a couple of years ago when i stayed with my grandparents, my grandfather (my papa) told me this story about a woman who drowned her children (the La Llorona) and how when he was younger, when he used to live in Mexico with his family, that when he and his freinds were out at night they heard a woman crying, but when they heard crying all the animals stoped making nosies. This also happend to my cousins, one time when my younger cousin went to a trip to mexico with out grandparents, both her and our grandma (our nana) heard crying at night and then all the animals stoped making noises.

    I never knew Tuco Salamanca, was a part-time demon hunter when not running his illegal drug business.
