That stuff about La Malinche being La Llorona isn't supposed to be a way of switching blame from Cortés to a woman. It is supposed to represent the grief of the survivors of the Spanish plagues that wiped out most of the indigenous people of the time. They helped the Spanish topple the Mexica Empire, which oppressed many tribes into giving tribute in the region, and for their help, they lost 90% of their people.

@spiffyspifferson8434

Problem is, the plagues from the Old World began before Cortez arrived. Previous Spanish landings and expeditions on the Mexican coast had already brought the diseases to Mesoamerica. When Cortez had arrived, the plagues had gotten there first. Spanish presence just made it spread faster.

Sorry that was me and my wife, well keep it down.

Just an addition. This tale has been around since colonial times, it always has been a story inherited from the conquista, since the caste system was placed in Mexico. It wasn't just that it was a Rich boy, but he was either a Criollo or an Spanish Rich boy. In some stories she was indigenous in others she was mestiza (mixed). We have both classicism and colorism and this story draws from both. And yes, the Cortez/Malinche version is a new one that doesn't make much sense but it was in one of my Spanish class books.

The initial story of murdering the sons to not bear to see them go reminds me of Medea in Greek Mythology. Perhaps this story could serve as the basis of a sequel to that horrifying tale?

I’m about to go to sleep. What a perfect time to watch this!

I recently read an interesting article on a blog called Rejected Disney Princesses (a site which explores fascinating women throughout history) which also ties La Llorona to the Aztecs. In this case she was tied an apparition of a wailing woman crying out in the streets of Tenochtilan saying "My children, where shall I take you?”. Apparently this was one of eight bizarre apparitions witnessed by the Aztecs in the days leading up to the arrival of the Spanish which also including fiery destructions of sacred temples and mysterious two headed beings. Spooky stuff. The article did also mention Malinche however as a possible inspiration to the legend though. Anywho, great video as always Extra History guys. :)

I grew up by Mexico and the amount of versions I heard of La Llorona was incredible. The one I remember hearing about as a kid was that La Llorona was the new wife of the rich husband when the former wife died and left her with two stepsons when she married. She drowned them because she was jealous of the attention they got from her husband, and then felt horribly guilty afterwards. She also had a tomato red face, from drowning herself. Gave me so many nightmares!

This series is so cool

It sounds quite silly indeed, yet i had a great-uncle that died after actually encountering her. Yes she is real and yes she´s stll at it, its quite the crazy world and not all child tales are mere tales.

Ohhhh such a good mith! La llorona has sooooo many variants. One of my favorits is actually a Pre-colonial one, where before the spaniards reached mexico there where many bad owmens. One of which was la llorona crying "MIS HIJOS!!!" (my children), in the sense that she was crying for her children de Mexica (aztec), and la llorona was Tonantzin in this case, the Goddess of the earth. In my city of Veracruz the story is very simimilar to the one you told, exept that "la llorona" got crazy jelly of her children by getting so much attention from the father that she went mad and killed them so he would only pay attention to her, then when she regained her senses she emmm well un-lived herself. But still goes around looking for her children, not being able to admit she had un-lived them.

Okay, this just made my day. La Llorona has been something I've been fascinated with ever since I first heard the story in second grade. And you guys did a great job with this. Brilliant!

As a little side note, in some versions of the tale the volume of her cries determines how far away is she but in reverse. So if you hear her out loud she is far away, but the lower the sound, the closer she is; until you hear nothing.

5:05 Ok that nearly made me jump out of my skin-

Today its also independence day in Mexico! Woo hoo, also it would have been lovely to mention all the beautiful songs and poems about her, the myth also says that she also kills man by disguising herself as a beautiful woman to hypnotize them into drowning, since they remind her of her husband.

I am from Venezuela and find this always scary, please add "The Silbon" Colombia and Venezuela folk to the list

I have heard that is quite the scary shit that guy! Thanks Dross!

My dad told me a story about my great uncle in Porte Viejo Veracruz, Mexico. That he had witness La Llorona's face. It was like the face of a decaying donkey skull and after that he tried to flee but only barely escaped. He was then paralyzed and wasn't able to move for about a week. My dad has also said that he has heard her wail at night, but i forget if it was in Veracruz or when his family was still living in Mexico City. He has also shared other stories of great serpents, golden animals, bipedal black sheep, and witches. Mexico is wild

Its always cool to see your culture's myths and legends in one of these videos, I love them.

FINALLY

Talking about Mexico today is very fitting

I worked construction in Dallas TX, and my foreman said that in his hometown on the border there was a river with a weeping woman who took his friend. It may just be a myth but the loss is real

This is a story that my mom told me growing up and her mom told her, but the details are quite different! It’s cool to hear another version!

3:48 me: “oh, she’s gonna take them with her and run off righ-“ 3:51 “OH DEAR GOD”

Interestingly, despite being born on México, the myth of La Llorona has permutated to almost every Latin American Country. Even here in Chile we have our own version of her, and we are hundreds of kilometers from Mexico.

I've been waiting for you to do this myth since you started the extra mythology. I live in that area and I've heard this story since elementary school every Halloween. Much spookier around that time of year

La Llorona reminds me of my online friend who narrated the story to me. I've never been aware nor interested in this lore, nor in lores of other countries aside from Greek/Norse/Egypt until he told me and I basically became so immersed in learning about the lores and myths of many more different countries. Even if you're not with me now Arch, this horrific story of yours will always remind me of you everytime I hear it. Thank you.

When I was little, I was told that La Llorona would appear at night in certain places... the problem is that "those places" were everywhere my relatives lived, and they live through all over Mexico, so even as I was little I was... skeptical that this "ghost" would appear all over Mexico and coincidentally where my relatives lived... I was still scared of the dark, so it was just the same, TBH.

Considering I know La Llorona as a Venezuelan spooky story, well... either that woman is really searching ALL the rivers she can, or there are too many murderous mothers full of regret for their deed in the world.

A superstitious american citizen, after watching this video: "Well... Guess is time to bring back New Mexico to their original owners, I don't want some chicano ghosts killing our children..."

I love your videos! The way you combine different versions of the story is so Cool!! !

I only knew the name La Llarona from the movie Coco before now. This telling fits with the events of the film. The spite the matriarch felt after her abandonment created an oppressive familial culture that lasted well after her death, smothering the ambitions of her children and their descendants, even those who'd never known her.

Horror stories are the best stories, I used to love those creepy pasta and then SCPs stories in middle school and high school

Hermoso huipil llevabas, llorona Que la Virgen te creí Hermoso huipil llevabas, llorona Que la Virgen te creí Si porque te quiero quieres, llorona Quieres que te quieres más Si porque te quiero quieres, llorona Quieres que te quieres más Si ya te he dado la vida, llorona ¿Qué más quieres? ¿Quieres más!

We learned this story in my high school Spanish class. Good times. Very educational.

I was thinking the Rusalka but that’s a good guess

Half of my family is form Mexico and the version I heard was different. On this version she is cast a bit like a mad woman. She already had kids in this version and 3 instead of two. I'll tell it like I remember. So in the beginning the story is the same (except for the children) she was also a good looking woman, and the rich man did indeed fall for her but there was a problem he could not get past the fact that she had 3 kids. Now she really wants to marry his. So in the middle of the night she took here children to the river promising to play and drowned them in the rio grande. The next day she ran to the man proclaiming what she did, and when he heard her he was horrified. That day he took a horse and ran back to the city. La llorona soon realized what she did and ran the to river to find her children, she looked all day. And when night came she was sweped by the current and drowned. From there it is the same as this one. It's cool to learn that there was a version I didn't know out there tho.

I love the fact that you mentioned parenta use her as a way to get their kids to do stuff for them. I can relate all too well 😔

Hearing this story always makes me sad. La llorona is just a grieving mother who only wants to find her sons...

I thought I was the only one who felt that way after hearing Maria’s tragic story.

5:04 Scared me enough..

I loved my country's folklore and its wonderful legends that are retold over and over again in all the different parts of the country. Shout out to the team of Extra Credits for presenting this incredible video about La Llorona

Good timing Im reading a book called summer of the mariposas and it has La Llorona in it

Fastest clicker in the west

8 mins after posting And already 3k views with me being the 3000th So i'll take that As a win

I recall being first told this story when I was 14 in a missionary work in rural Chile. Funny how I hadn’t heard the story growing up in Santiago, but just a few miles off old women will tell random kids that La Llorona was seen nearby, or that she was around when somebody tragically died (a sowing accident in that particular case). In my 14 year old’s defense, it didn’t help it was 1 am and we had to walk a rural road all the way to the school we were camping at.

Ah and ol' tale from my home country, always wandering in the night it's a pleasure after hearing it well that's until you become an adult and not a kid to be kidnapped by La llorona

Just when I just finished watching a video drawing a Pokemon based on this for their Mexico region

OMG i'm so excited since this was released on Mexican independence day

Combined with other kids swearing they've heard a women crying by a river... and that scares the shit out of you when you are a kid.

Allow me to tell my story or La Llorona. When I was ten I went with a few of my cousins to Mexico along with an aunt and uncle. Both my moms and dads family come from the same little town in Guanajuato. The town is part of the land owned by a city in northeast Guanajuato called San Luis de la Paz . Ok so I was spending the night at my grandpas house( moms dad) and my step grandma since the first one died when my mom was still young like 8 I think, anyway I was ten at the time and across from my grandpas house is a river not to deep but wasn’t extremely shallow either. I was sleeping on a mattress on the floor next to my grandparents bed. For some reason I woke up and checked my old little phone that my parents got me from a garage sale. I checked my phone to see what time it’s was, I was around 3:50 am so I decided to play a game on my phone not to get bored , I was playing for a few minutes when I heard some of the dogs we had start to howl, btw my grandpas house is next to my uncles’s houses then behind those are two other house that belong to some aunts all the house for a somewhat circle Shape, so we have a lotta dogs. Anyway I hear the dogs starting to howl but just ignored it cus dogs howl ya know, that when I heard a woman crying and screaming I vividly remember the night and didn’t go back to sleep until my grandpa woke up that’s when I told him but you know who’s gonna believe a ten year old. That was three years ago, and what made believe La Llorona is real.

Imagine saying that cheating is a more horrible deed than murdering your own 2 children Dude even came back for his kids man, cmon
