On this episode of Iron, Silver and Salt the boys look at the weeping woman of the riverside, the murderous spectre of Mexico: La Llorona. Adrian is still on berry watch. Will digs deep into his bag of tricks. Chris takes another deep dive into mythology. And the boys talk about how you can protect yourself and your loved ones from La Llorana. Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!
