La Llorona. The Crying Woman is the inspiration for the Columbio-Tortugan goddess of death and children. The Mexican answer to Bloody Mary, this ghostly woman wanders by rivers, seeking the children she drowned in a fit of madness after being rejected by the man she loved. Legend has it, she steals children she thinks to be hers and then drowns them when they aren't. Parents of Mexican ancestry use her as a sort of boogieman threat, telling naughty children that La Llorona will come for them.
