Sure Rebel, I can tell you all about her.
"La Llorona" is Spanish for: "Weeping or wailing woman." Her true name has been lost but some believe it was 'Maria,' or possibly 'Cristina.'
The story occurred somewhere in the Southwest, Arizona, California, New Mexico, Texas--take your pick. (One lady even assures me that it occurred in Mexico City, df Mexico).
La Llorona was an uncommonly beautiful woman of 'low-birth.' She was courted by a 'high-born' man of low degrees. He seduced her and they lived together for some time as 'man and wife.' She bore him several children before he 'tired' of her and threatened to leave her and take the kids with him. (He either intended to return to his wife, or marry a woman of his own social station.)
La Llorona went mad and to punish her unfaithful lover, drowned their children.
The Powers That Be then condemned her to forever dwell in that nether, twilight region exactly between the land of the living and the land of the dead, lamenting forever the death of her children near the place of their demise.
To this day, it is said, La Llorona wanders the waterways wailing for her lost children.
Joe Hayes, over in El Paso, TX., tells a good tale about La Llorona (La Llorona Cinco Puntos Press El Paso).

if i am not mistaken, you may be asking about Liorrona. Old hispanic folk lore, right up there with the CuCuey. Anyways, if i am thinking the same thing, it it something of a woman who lost her child to in a river or something, and she "stalks" the waters crying for her baby. Could be wrong, cuz i am kinda drunk right now, but it kinda rings a bell.

yes I heard of that my dad who is mexican told me this and my cousin boyfriend said he saw her when he was little and it scared him alot.
It's about a woman who lost her childern to murder or something and she walks looking for her babies making a crying noise and it saud that when she comes across a child she is to try to take it as her own.
