I held my infant granddaughter in my arms as her parents took a quick swim, when suddenly I was enveloped by a force, a voice in my head, telling me, compelling me, to throw my grandchild in the river. Terrified, I clung to the little one, resisting. This was a totally foreign experience that left me terribly shaken, but unable to speak about it for some time. When I did reveal the horrifying experience to my daughter a year later, she told me of the legend of La Llorana.

It almost makes me wonder if there wasn't some historical Llorona who actually lived once, centuries or perhaps millennia ago, and that maybe, just maybe, there is the tiniest real-life grain of fact beneath all the myth and legend? Of course, we'll never know, but it's interesting to speculate on. As a Norteamericano, I can’t help but thinking of the Susan Smith and Andrea Yates cases when I hear about La Llorona.
