Sighted by rivers and lakes, La Llorona is a ghostly figure shrouded in sorrow. In the quiet hours of the night, she wanders, her mournful wails piercing the still air. They say she was once a beautiful woman named María, who, driven to madness by a lover's betrayal, drowned her children in a fit of rage and despair before taking her own life. Now, cursed by her own actions, she roams the earth, eternally searching for her lost children, her cries a lament of unending grief.

La Llorona's proximity to bodies of water serves as a chilling warning. Parents tell tales of her to keep their children away from the treacherous banks, where they might slip and drown (though it’s a dark irony, considering she gave hers a helping hand). But heed this warning: if you seek her out, tread carefully. Small children and untrustworthy men should stay far away, for La Llorona is not known for her mercy. She is a force of nature, a spirit driven by raw emotion, acting first and considering the consequences later.

If you must approach her, do so with a heart full of sympathy and a mind full of caution. Waterproof gear might keep the physical dampness at bay, but nothing can shield you from the chill of her sorrow. Be prepared to face a presence that is as tragic as it is terrifying, a reminder of the depths of human despair.
