Yoo
Can you guys do a video on mythical creatures of Brazilian folklore?
You will need at least 3 or 4 more lists for mexican urban legends.
All of them
I knew La Llorona was going to be number 1 lol.
For me the legend of La Llorona is both scary and tragic at the same time
Not really she killed her kids because one man didn't want them then after that the man was with another woman anyways now she's a angry spirit that kills any children and apparently the story took place 1800s very tragic or deserving? Also in every part of Mexico there's a different version this one's for my family's hometown.
If u never heard that MF that some chilling stuff
@@kalinon6632 gets worst she can apparently fly too being served as a scary lesson for children not to be out late otherwise she'll swoop up and drown you in a river like her children.
@@greendude7650 idk bro ik that sh floats ...when I was in Mexico mi abuelita lived by a river and I swear I heard her like 3 times during the time I was there in bout 4 month span
@@kalinon6632 shit that’s creepy
La Llorona has been heard many times near my grandparents home in Mexico. It’s a sound that truly haunts you
I watched the movie "The Curse of La Llorona" with a group! It was great!
@@mojo3318 the movie wasnt good and didnt portray la llorona correctly in my opinion, U should listen to the old tales of people from mexico about real encounters with la llorona. Now thats scary!
@@RK1916_its not because la llorona isnt real
@@yallaregayI used to think like you
Fake
Latin America is rich with folklore. Would love to see more!
Same here
I heard they believe in elves
You have to specify which country. Latin America has many countries and each country is different.
Yeah. Maybe a list of more Latin American legends. El chupacabra, el silbón, or even la sayona. Latin America is diverse in countries and legends
Not as full as cutler as you hope
Great job on your pronunciation in Español! It’s evident you studied for this. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, I tried so hard!!
I agree 👍, she did a great job
i actually assumed she was of hispanic descent, her pronunciation was so good!
One of my favorites is the Mexican Grim Reaper herself Santa Muerta.
Basically this variation of the embodiment of death is described as being a very beautiful female skeleton who wears stockings, closed-toe high-heel shoes, a beautiful long dress, and a hat adorned with a rose and of course shows up to ferry the souls of the deceased to their rightful place in the afterlife.
However this female embodiment of death also serves as an avenging angel to women and kids, basically she has a hatred towards rapists, wife-beaters, and husbands/fiancés who abuse their children and the mothers of said children both physically and mentally/emotionally so if you're a man who has committed any of these crimes be prepared as Santa Muerta will visit you and make you pay for your crimes.
that is a folk saint not an urban legend
@@cantcomewithsomethingorigi6799 In Mexico the line between those two gets very blurry from time to time.
I only know her of wearing robes of different colors . Are u thinking of La Catrina with the wardrobe ?
@@taylormontoya2698 Nope.
She's actually worshipped
As a Mexican-American, every time I visited Mexico, I was always told about legends and ghost stories from relatives.
Those are probably the scariest stories I've ever heard.
As someone with a Mexican background, I haven’t heard of these urban legend. Thank you, Watchmojo.
lol than clearly your not Mexican.
Then you're not Mexican
@@1life1batle I’m Mexican-American. I just never heard most of them.
@@abigailaceves9230 as we would say here in Mexico, te falta barrio mija
@@shaneflores5657 Someone's genetics and heritage isn't determined by your sensitive feelings, dork.
The most impressive thing about this video....Rebecca's Spanish pronunciation!
Oh yeah! I think I can pronounce things in Spanish, too!
I remember hearing about a gigantic bird that you would only see at night and it was always a bad omen
Yeah my aunt says it is the Tapa caminos, but is a real bird, not really big but it likes to hide in the dark between bushes so when you pass by it goes out and gives you a heart attack 😂 damn bird
In the US we call it the "Mothman". Is it the same thing as the bird? Same concept as far as being a bad omen.
Oh.
Your thinking of the lechuza 🦉. It’s usually a white owl. Legend says it’s witches that are hunting for your. Idk exactly why but yeah.
@@ronburgundy8458 usually when a person wants to cause harm to another person. Brujeria
Us Hispanics/Latinos sure love these urban legends! Never heard of most of these but thank you WatchMojo! ❤
It’s crazy how every state has so many different urban legends I think it’s because Mexican people have such flare for telling stories
As a Mexican, I was afraid of "El Cucuy" because of my grandma and aunts 😂. & you forgot to mention duendes (dwarfs). My dad, uncles and cousins SWEAR they've seen them before.
Yup my father as well has told me stories about seeing them in Oaxaca mexico, he said they’re big trouble makers and mess with peoples stuff
@@RK1916_like midgets?
duendes are more like goblins dwarfs are just short people.
I used to be scared of the Cucuy but now it's like "Eh he ain't real but if my grand-kids act bad i'll use it on them"
Lol
My grandpa used to tell a story that in his small town, you’d often hear La Llorona late at night. People would avoid being out late. One night, he was out drinking with a friend when he heard the woman. First, he hid. Then, he decided to take a look. It was a married woman coming out of her neighbor’s house.
Thank you for releasing this video for Day of the dead! It brought memories of my grandma telling me these stories as a child ❤
VIVA MÉXICO 🇲🇽
🇸🇻
@@barcalona55 🇲🇽
Is it Independence Day already?😂😂😂
@@everardocalderon8720 bro what
No one is gonna talk about how her spanish was perfectly spot on 👌
It's a good thing Victor and Valentino showed me about Mexican Folklore Legends
Love that show the only good show they got on Cartoon Network after Regular Show, Steven Universe, Adventure Time and Gumball have ended.....ecen worse Cartoon Network going to get removed
I watched a premiere at a dentists office!
I regret not going out to find these urban legends the one time I visited Mexico.
La Llorona scares me the most.
I watched a movie🎥 about her with a group!
El Charro Negro out here making a shounen anime villain entrance at 9:36
My Mother is from Mexico and she never told me about those legends.
Than she ain't from Mexico 💀
My parents are from Mexico and they never tell me those, only El Cucuy
Nothing is scarier than la chancla
The background behind these stories is awesome as they are part of the culture and they all have traceable origins to a specific location(city and even specific place inside the city) in Mexico.
You don’t need to wander around x place to find these legends you can spend a night at x place and get spooked af
What a wonderful video! Thank you! If you’re taking requests, I’d love to see a video of the folklore of the Caribbean. ❤
Absolutely love that you included La Leyendas movies. They’re so good and love seeing Mexican folklore!!
Im so glad someone finally made an amazing list!!!
I find folklore fascinating. You should do a part two there's also El Silbon
What is that???
@@lild5470 a spoiled boy who loved deer meat so he told his dad tohunt a deer when his dad couldnt hunt a deer he gutted him and told his mom to cook then she relaized it her husbands guts and then she told the grandpa and the grandpa cursed him
Enjoyed these stories a lot. Love anything from Mexico about the legends and stories and culture.
Very good pronunciation Rebecca and very interesting video :)
There is also a legend about haunted Snow White statue in Reino Mágico park that is also supposedly haunted since it was built over the general cemetary/pántheon
I had La Llorona in my head and she’s number one. I’ve seen scary videos, heard her cries and the scary movie that gave my heart jump-scares
you left out the one where a girl goes to the dance (without parents permission) and dances with the devil. And he takes her to hell.
Hey, @WatchMojo, I want to hear more about Urban Legends and can you please do Top 10 SCARIEST South Carolina Urban Legends?
Having sexual relationships with your family is already scary enough
What a fascinating list fr🕵️♂️
I'm not Mexican, but my grandmother was and my mother is half. My last name is Scottish too. I always love to learn about the history of Scotland and Mexico because of my mixed heritage. This was fascinating.
La llorona is an urban legend all across Latin America, also there are variations of the Woman in Black and La Tisigua
The tale about the farmer refusing to observe the Day of the Dead feels like a forerunner to Dickens Chirstmas Carol
La Llorona gives me Left 4 Dead vibes 😎
I watched a movie📽 about her with a group!
as a Mexican, I can relate these tales are no joke
So have you encountered anyone of them?
Can you guys please do the Philippines Urban Legends next?
Pls do one of south east Asia urban legends
At the start she's right about El Chupacabras. Many make the mistake that it originates from Mexico but it's origin is in Puerto Rico my home country. Look it up.
As a Mexican, I found those stories that have in common with the Japanese, but only the ghostly maidens.
In India too bro btw it could be creatures and entities exist everywhere in every culture just with different names
Same in India too
1:16 i'd always thought hotel california was based on the cecil hotel.
the line "You can check out any time you like, But you can never leave" I always thought as interpretation for the cecil's reputation for violence, suicide, and murder dating since 1927.
Well you're not wrong. 🤔🤔🤔
I’ve definitely heard of the Legend of Island of The Dolls
I would have added witches and chaneques to the list, like nahuales, they are feared both in the north and the south of the country
The Weeping Woman I find cool
Very nice pronunciation! Respect ✌️
I've heard of La Larona and the Island of the Dolls but the rest is new to me
La Llorona and Bloody Mary was my nightmare fuel growing up.
I watched a movie🎬 about La Llorona with a group and an animated, scary story about Bloody Mary! My sibling told me about Bloody Mary when we were in elementary school.
@@mojo3318 All my Mexican friends would tell the best ghost stories. Traumatized me.... 😂
Hey, thanks a lot from Durango, México. 🤗
My grandma bought her wedding dress in la Pascualita 4:40
I've been to the island of dolls before in Mexico. Like 2 years ago, guess what all those dolls were like. Oh, like abandoned looked like 1970s.
I’m actually from chihuahua, hometown to la pascualita which is that bride mannequin, although they took the real one to mexico city
Gracias, WatchMojito 😎
These reminds me of that terrifying feeling of walking past the cemetery in my parents Pueblo past midnight lol
LOL I just love the way Rebecca says "Welcome to WatchMojo". 😁
She should be the narrator in all the videos, her voice is amazing!. 👍
As Mexican-American on my mother's side I like Urban Legend and Folklore from Mexico 🇲🇽
I’m only 10. I live near HTX but my Great uncle lives near a stream around hsi back yard. Mind you this is a generation house so my great grandma and gpa lived here. My mom has told me stories of her hearing crying near the back yard during sleep.
Awesome
The scary part is that I have seen some of these evil legends
Awesome and cool! ^_^
Naguales, el charro negro, los chanaques, and more ...great job tho on this video and the pronunciation 👌🏻👍🏻🙂
Thanks for the nightmare fuel WatchMojo I’ll be sleeping with one eye open and with a holy symbol in one hand and a sun blade in the other tonight
So the “Ghost Rider” tale technically is real but it’s the more traditional myth. Which still based on greed and selling your soul to do anything to “help” but still turns into greed. I always knew there was a real story behind it even before Marvel turned it into a movie. The original story sounds much better though. Ghost stories of different cultures has always been so fascinating to me.
From what I understand about the Nahual is that it’s a shapeshifting werewolf entity that haunts Mexican mines
Top 10 Worst Things That Happened To Scooby Doo
Heard of La Isla De Las Munecas and La Llorona. The doll island is the scariest out of the entire list, honorable mentions included. I have no problem with dolls, but that's just spooky as hell!
La Llorona is the only one i heard of but the rest are equally as frightening
I watched a movie🎦 about her with a group!
@WatchMojo Have you done Puerto Rican legends yet?
10:38 this one is wholesome and tragic
el hombre del sombreron sounds like a ghostly super hero like ghost rider or raven
What about Montezuma Revenge?
I've watched a movie🎥 about La Llorona with a group! It was a great movie! I've never heard of the other urban legends on this list. I love how some of them are animated! Leo almost grabbed Nando's hand. I'm sad for the innocent, beautiful girl who died!☹ She was so young! It sucks that the father's love ran out for La Llorona! And I can't believe Malibrán!
I'm sharing this video with my temporary manager and his wife, since they're from México. Muchas gracias, Rebecca!
It wasn't her father it was her lover.
@@cynthiaramirez8384 Gotcha.
Yeah, 1 time La Llorona visited me in Mexico. It was an interesting night.
😂😂😂
ghost adventures did an episode with the island of dolls. it was a good one
Buzzfeed Unsolved
I remembered hearing about that legend of The Ahuizote through a cartoon I used to watch as a kid. The creature was based on that on the legend from having a hand at the point of the tail to luring people with a small child’s cry. The only thing that was not part of the legend of the creature was having the ability to steal people’s eyes.
I’m pretty sure that’s a dead giveaway at the last sentence if someone knows what show I’m talking about.
Well it doesn't just eat people's eyes, but their nails and teeth.
while the song hotel california isnt inspired on any mexican folklore, curiously the working title of the song before "hotel california" was "mexican reggae" because the producer said the demo sounded like a mexican bolero mixed with reggae, a fun coincidence.
Mojo should do every county urban legends
I hope everyone watching this stays safe. Happy New Years I hope nothing happens bad to you guys. I hope everyone is safe during watching this video and none of the demons or urban legends haunt you. Thank you the lord and please keep these people and me safe. Amen ❤️
Grow up looking for attention video can't hurt u lol😅😅😅😅
I grew up hearing about La Llarona in Las Cruces, NM. Scared the crap out of me as a kid lol
Yes, I know all of them and more. Each region has their own local tales. Like the headless woman who appears wearing a night gown (see through) which usually appears to men, but don’t realize she’s headless, for obvious reasons, until they look up at her an see she’s headless. My cousin swears she saw her while walking back home late at night years ago.
My family is from Pachuca Real del Monte area very creepy area especially in the woods
The commitment of the nurse that died during the earthquake is heartbreaking and sweet at the same time
I'm surprised El Silbón (the Whistler) isn't on this list.
He ant from Mexico i think
Loved how Gaga in American horror story was portrayed as a urban legend of Hotel California!
La tisigua reminds me of la ciguapa from DR. They both lure men and walk with their feet facing the opposite direction
Love the video and I definitely heard of la llorona from my dad when I was about 10 but my dad told me something that send an all to human chill down my spine. His said this happened when he was about 13 he woke up early so he can deliver new papers about a few hours before he went to school there was a football field size clearing ( that is now a residential area) but there were street lights some need of a new lightbulb or just didnt work right so he was getting the first couple of house then he noticed something in the corner of his eye something was hoping from streetlight to streetlight and right when he got to the clearing it jumped off and my dad started to sprint to the other side of the clearing and then went back home and (even my grandma told me this ) when he arrived home he was frantic and shaking and my dad doesn't scare easily and he told her of what he saw and even described what he could make out of it but he said that the most distinct feature was it red eyes like that of a cat but bigger and the my grandma said the devil must have visited him. But that is the scariest thing I heard from my dad and even now for him to remember is enough to make him shake.
I’ve been to La Isla De Las Muñecas it was honestly super cool and not creepy
My Mexican mom has all sorts of stories about Mexico 🇲🇽 it's because they're so spiritual these things naybe if they stopped being spiritual these things would away
Being Latino and living by a river or body of water the llorona story always hit different especially if you hear shit out there at night 💀
It's like, "bitch get the hell away from me"
Your pronunciation is on point!
I am mexicana and i have heard about some of those legends but the llorona is the creepiest for me😊
Feliz día de muertos a todos 💀💯
Edited: in English Happy Day of the Dead I hope everyone safe who else watching this video at night?
Edited 2: they forgot La Siguanaba and Cadejo they should be on this list at least honorable mention in my opinion
I told a spanish teacher that in spanish and she said "If you are my student I will give you a passing grade."
Gracias! Feliz día de muertos a todos y yo soy!
The song Hotel California is a scary song.

"The Chupacabra is out" Bruh.
El Hombre Del Sombreron, I think, should be number one. Only one that I really found creepy.
