Do you think the Llorona is Real?

Question

After visiting my grandmother's ranch last year in Mexico I herd some thing that will always freak me out. Even if I hear the Story about the Llorona I still get nerves. I woke up at 2 in the morning from a deep sleep don't get me wrong this is going to sound a little crazy and far fetch but I'm not LIEING any way I woke to hear animals walking around the front of the house we live right next to a river and the main road which every one in the town uses. Well I thought I herd a horse out side of the window my cousin who was bunking it with me woke up and herd the same thing. I was freaked out but not as much because animals around the town walk freely so I'm used to hearing animals walk all over so we just fell back asleep I woke up the second time this time every thing in the house and in the room and out side went quit I mean really quit at first you could hear dogs barking and all that sort of thing you hear when you live in a Ranch. Every thing even the electricity turned off. every thing seems to be still then I herd it a loud scream It said in Spanish O MY children I got so freaked out I couldn't move. I'm so serious I herd the cry's of this lady I wanted to get out of the room and run into my parents. That's how scared I was. Then Every thing came back on the electricity and I started hearing the dogs bark again. I thought it was my imagination but I know that scream was real. That Morning I got up and my aunt told me she herd the Llorona so i know i was not imaging it. I know what I herd was true. beside no one in in the town goes out at night for that reason only there scared of what they might see. Let me know what you think? O and by the way I have seen my share of weird stuff!!!! Thanks again.

Wanted to add some thing I know for a fact that it was not my family trying to pull a prank this is a small place no one dares goes out side because of the fear of seeing some thing you can't explain. I know it wasn't one of my fam memebers because they were all sleeping in the same room. And no one goes out at 2 in the morning

Answer 1

Well this is the thing their is basically a llorona for each Hispanic country including mine, I've had a encounter with the puertorican llorona that is nothing more than a crying lady that hitches a ride with you on the old road of canovanas. And believe me after you have a unwanted hitchhiker in your car at 2 am you become a true believer. Not even because I grew up around the "spirit world" was I prepared for that.

Answer 2

Quien sabe--who knows. Many people swear the story is true, only the names dates and location have been lost.

I used to think it was a 'morality tale' to teach young women to pick their men carefully and to teach men the possible consequences of 'fooling around.'

Another story I thought was a myth, a morality story, turned out to be true.

I only wish women like Susan Smith & Andrea Yates had known the story of La Llorona. Perhaps they wouldn't have done what they did.

Answer 3

My Guatemalan roommate said that her family would tell her about La Llorona so she wouldn't wander off into the jungle and get killed by bandits or wild animals. She believed it when she was a kid--the danger was real, but I don't know if it was La Llorona.

Answer 4

I've heard her too. I went to school by oak creek in sedona. Several of my friends and I used to go for walks out by the river in the middle of the night. A couple of nights, we heard crying. Not a desert animal, for we'd all lived there long enough to know what they sounded like. Genuine sobbing. We tried to follow the noise and find it, but somehow we couldn't find it. That's my story

Answer 5

La Llorena was originally an Aztec legend, her cries at night preceded the arrival of Cortes and company at [what would become] Vera Cruz. She is the Mesoamerican equivalent of a Banshee.

Answer 6

I always thought La Llorona was THE creepiest legend, and I don't doubt your story. There are things on this Earth that we know NOTHING about.

Answer 7

I believe you, friends of my family vacation in the very south Southwest and have come back with stories as well.

Answer 8

I think one of your family members is messing with you. It happens in my family to. I'm usually the one doing the scary cucui impressions though. I wouldn't put it past them.

Answer 9

Of course is NOT REAL, is a story from a legend

Answer 10

Wow! What an experience! I totally believe you.
