The ghost of a weeping woman dressed in white, La Llorona, is often spotted beside bodies of water. People in Mexico and in the south-western United States have claimed to hear her wailing in the night, crying out for her drowned children. This centuries-old tale claims that if the wailing woman gets too close, she will drag you to a watery grave.
