Being an Arizona resident, I knew that you would know all about La Llorona.

Thanks for your great reply. While there may have been an event that actually took place involving some version of the La Llorona legend, I tend to take most of these tales with a grain of salt. Especially when you consider this story is told throughout NM, TX, AZ, Mexico and South America. Almost every town has their own version, and coincidentally, each town is said to have its own crying woman wandering the rivers, irrigation ditches and arroyos (not just in Santa Fe). It would take thousands, if not millions of La Lloronas to occupy all those waterways.

I’m not sure why this legend caught on so strongly, but perhaps it worked so well in keeping the kids away from the river that everyone started using it as a way to instill fear in their children.

If you could pinpoint the exact location along the Santa Fe River, where the lady said she encountered La Llorona, then it would definitely be a good place to see what showed up on digital audio. Like I said, based on her description of how specific her encounter was, it does appear she bumped into something, but who or what is hard to say.

Even after getting inside my grandparents’ house, I was still scared! LOL. For the rest of my stay, during that summer (I think was eight-years old), I didn’t even want to go out after dark. Being that my grandparents live near a big irrigation ditch, I was even scared to fall asleep in my bedroom. I kept picturing the crying woman coming in the yard and scratching at my window pane!!

That’s a good point about the woman in the cemetery. If she was dressed differently and the location was a little closer to the river, then it would have definitely got me thinking again about La Llorona! You’re right, she was very busy in trying to locate someone.

It’s my pleasure and thanks again for watching and commenting.

This may sound a bit out there right now, and given how sensitive you are to energy to begin this might not be the thing for you to ever do but rather just imagine what the EVP sounds must be there!!!! I would imagine not very peaceful since their death was abrupt and in murder or suicide. Would be interesting to see what got picked up though, would it not?

John, after you would safely make it inside of your grandparents home when you were younger, did you ever think about La Llorona coming into your room to visit you or did you feel you were safe because it seemed like she mostly stayed outside looking for her hijos. If your encounter at the cemetery was wearing a white gown and had long flowing hair, I would really be wondering right now. Even though “that” cemetery is not on the river, that “energy” did appear to be looking rapidly for someone(s) who was buried there. Never know……….you and your Mom are a powerful duel This was a really good find, great job!
