The timeless legend of La Llorona (the Crying Woman or the Weeping Woman), originated in South America and traveled to the American southwest via Mexico. La Llorona is always said to be tall and thin, with long dark hair and a flowing white gown. There are numerous stories of La Llorona, the ghost of a weeping woman who searches each night for her children, usually near a river.
