    As someone who grew up in Mexico as a little kid I can say that a lot of people actually do believe in her specially in the small town that I lived at . A lot of the people that lived in the town said that they have in counter or saw her . Even my grandpa said that he has seen her when he was little riding home with his dad at night after herding the cows . But that she did not do anything to him because his dad was there. In my grandpa story apparently if your parents are around she just looks at you but doesn’t do anything and sometimes the parents don’t even see her

    Jermain Allen Just like many other stories, the story of La llorona varies. It usually changes to suit the town or cities environment and beliefs. In Mexico City where my parents are from they say La llorona haunts the canals that surround the city and man made islands. She only takes children that misbehave or that aren’t with their guardians and only drowns/ kills the ones she takes.

    I can say that, while i grew up i did hear about la llorona a lot of times, mostly from my grandparents, but as you mentioned, there are several differences in each story, so i never really thought much about it, but from what i can remember, my grandparents used to tell me a much less cruel story. They used to tell me that La llorona was once a kind woman, who used to live with her children, until one day she and her kids would suffer an accident which would led to her kids drowning and her own death, but out of sadness and grief her spirit would not leave the world of the living, and instead she would roam near lakes and rivers in hope of finding her children.

    I have a funny story about a “sighting “ of la llorona . so my uncle was in the Boy Scouts and they where camping near a river and one of his friends comes to him in the dead of night terrified telling him he saw la llorona. They than gathered a small group of kids and went on a search for whatever the guy had seen. Later they saw a girl who looked 16ish crying who spotted them and told them to go away. They asked why and she completely had a melt down in front of them. She told them about how she part of the Girl Scouts and got lost hence the crying.

    In Brazil we also tell the story of La Llorona, but we call her Maria Chorona (weeping mary, in portuguese). It still amazes me how even if we don't speak the same language, us latinos have very similar cultures when it comes to storytelling. Who else was frightened when their parents would tell them the story of the Homem do Saco (Hombre del Saco)?

    My abuelita was the most serious, religious person I knew. I believe what she told me because she would never lie. Back when she was younger in her early 30s, she was ironing all her brother's clothes. Since she had 10 brothers it was past midnight and she was still ironing. Back then, the colony was not populated. Her house was surrounded by dense corn fields with a few houses scattered here and there. While she was ironing, she got the urge to pee. Back in the day the bathroom was outside and was quite a walk from the house. Tired and not wanting to walk, she took a small detour to the back of the house and decided to just pee in the bushes. The house sat at the edge of a small cliff where the river ran below. My abuelita says that as she was gonna crouch down to pee, she saw something in the river. The river used to have a gigantic boulder that sat in the middle of the river. Except on this night, there was a woman in a wedding dress sitting on the boulder. The woman had her back to my abuelita so she never saw her face. But she says she can still remember her dress. She said it was beautiful and so big it covered the entire boulder. My abuelita was so scared she hurried back inside. As soon as she locked the door, bone chilling screams where heard coming from the river. I don't care if you believe or not. La llorona is real. Take a trip to Mexico. It doesn't take much to find her.

    As a white guy in Texas, my Hispanic friends used to scare the shit out of me when I’d stay the night at their houses/ranch out in the country lmao. They had all kinds of shit out there apparently. No shit though, there was a creek everyone used to use to drink, smoke, screw. You know those spots. I took my girl out there (don’t ask), and we heard a woman crying when I got out of the car to pee. I called my girl to get out of the car and see if it was just me hearing shit. We stood for like 5 minutes it’s listening just frozen staring at each other. It was like moaning. It scared the holy living shit out of us and we fucking hit the gas out of their. I was so sure someone was about to pop up on that dirt road to try and stop us. I don’t believe in ghosts, but either way, that was 20+ years ago, and I’ll never forget it.

    I was about eight when I first heard the story of La Llorona. I was on a camping trip with my family and my uncle, who's Hispanic, told it to me. Of course, he did this when it was dark, except for the campfire, and he made it the last story of the night just before my bedtime. And he modernized it to make it sound like something that had just happened, describing La Llorona as a woman who left her children in the park while she went for a run, only to find them missing when she returned and thus, she'd been wandering ever since looking for them. Needless to say, I didn't sleep well that night.

Nope , did she get her man back nope (thankfully) , did it kill 2 innocent lives which had no part to play in this but were in actuality in the same situation as her .... YUP This is the problem with most of the idiots who roam this world , “I got a problem , I have no means of solving it cause I won’t think rationally , so lemme take out my anger on something/one who’s got nothing to do with it just so that I can watch them suffer the same fate as I , I don’t care about whether it solves any of my problems but atleast I ain’t drowning alone I’m dragging some poor soul along with me so it’s fiiiiinnnnnnneeee “

    From the version I heard of La Llorona, she was so devastated to find her husband cheating on her, that she took their children to the river to drown them. Once she realized what she had done, she frantically went up and down the bank looking for them, wailing and crying, until she jumped into the river where she eventually drowned. Her actions would then repeat on an eternal loop. Throwing children into the river, regretting, crying and wailing from the guilt and pain of what she had done.

    My own interpretation of the story- Maria did *not* drown her children. Her husbands mistress sent two of her men to lure them away with the promise of seeing their father, and then drown them. Believing her kids had accidentally drowned because of her own negligence, and facing suspicion and accusations of murder from everyone, Maria drowned herself. Her spirit remains though, not to cause harm or death, but to warn children away from danger.

But if we didn't go to sleep after our showers they use to tell us that The Mano Pachona was going to come & get us & take us to The Llorona. Once we got older that didn't work then The Chancla😣 came in Big Time, Lol!!!😅 Gracias for Sharing Hermano Blessings, Bendicion!!!!!!!!!🙏💓🙏👍🙏👏

    The version I was told was that she was a single mom with two kids and was in love with a man she met. She thought he wouldn’t never marry her because it was taboo for women to have children out of wedlock. So she drowned her two kids thinking the man would love her and marry her. He was horrified and left her. She then came to her senses and ran into the river to try to rescue them. They were obviously already dead so she wailed the streets and rivers looking for children so that she could replace her own. But she would kill them when she realized they weren’t her own. So she never stops. Anyway, lesson was to not wander off in the night by yourself or play around rivers.

    The way I heard it is similar to the first tale you said, but it took place in Zonora, Mexico. It's mostly desert, but there are a few rivers. She drowned her children in a river, close to where I lived a few years as a child. She then drowned herself in a well, which is close to where I lived. Literally, the river and the well were like 10 yards away. We would hear weird noises at night and sometimes see things. We used candles to light our home since there was no electricity, and I swear, our shadows wouldn't look human.

    I grew up in Los Angeles and heard this story for the first time when I was in the 2nd grade I think. The version I was told was that Maria was a very vain and beautiful woman who married a wealthy man that adored her. However when she bore him two sons he began to pay more attention to them than to her and she resented this. Eventually his doting attention on their sons led Maria to throw both of the boys in the nearby river. After they fell in she realized what she had done and ran along the river attempting to save them, only to trip and fall, cracking her skull in the process and dying while her sons drowned. She returned as a wandering spirit filled with regret for what she'd done and wandered the banks of the river at night calling for her sons and would steal away any little boy who she thought resembled her children. Oddly enough she wasn't portrayed as a vengeful spirit or even one that was intentionally harmful, more regretful and longing to undo what she had done. I was told that if you saw her, not to look her in the eyes for if you did then she would come for you the following night and carry you off to be with her forever. Terrified me to no end and kept me away from the creek at night that's for sure.

    Omg I heard La Llorona stories as a kid but I grew up in Japan so it never really stuck with me. But the night before my family left Japan I got into a big argument with my dad, and I left the hotel room to go by the beach and walk off my anger. It was dusk and I went to a small cliff overlooking the ocean and was enjoying the view when I heard something behind me. I swear on everything I saw a woman in a white gown with long black hair. I didn’t see her face but she quickly turned away and disappeared behind the undergrowth. When I tell you I never ran so fast in my life!! My dad was waiting for me outside the hotel. We made up but I’ll never forget what I saw, I know it was a spirit. And if it was La Llorona, well, eesh.
