About La Llorona in brief
In Hispanic American folklore, La Llorona is a ghost who roams waterfront areas mourning her drowned children. In a typical version of the story, a beautiful woman named Maria marries a rich ranchero with whom she has two children. One day, Maria sees her husband with another woman and in a fit of blind rage she drowns their children in a river, which she immediately regrets. Unable to save them and consumed by guilt, she drownings herself as well, but is unable to enter the afterlife without her children. Recurring themes in variations on the La Llamorona myth include white dresses, nocturnal wailing, and an association with water.
The legend is deeply rooted in Mexican popular culture, her story told to children to encourage them not to wander after dark, and her spirit often evoked in artwork, such as that of Alejandro Colunga. In April 2019, The Conjuring Universe, a film directed by James Wan, will star Marisol Ramirez, who portrays the ghost in the film. The film is the sixth installment in the series, and will be released by Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema, produced by New Line Pictures and Warner Brothers.
