This week we dive into the legend of La Llorona, the “weeping Woman”. While it is a folklore widely present in Mexico, her legend has migrated to other Central and South American countries, as well as the American Southwest. She eerily calls to children to follow her into her dark watery grave and is a haunting specter of doom and sorrow. Is she ghost, phantasm, or a dark entity? One thing we are sure of: beware the rivers, canals, lakes, and other waters where danger and La Llorona waits for you!
And as always, you’ll get the answer to this week’s Tuesday Quiz from the Facebook Page.
