Another version of torment

The stories of those who have felt her creepy presence.

Transcription:

There is an old tale down in the southwest called La Llorona, I've never believed it thinking it was just some stupid tale my grandfather told me to keep me away from the Rio Grande at night. He always told me the story for a bedtime story, twisted I know. The tale always went the same each night.

There once was a woman who lived in the very poor section of Juarez, right across the Rio Grande from where I lived. The woman who was a mother began a relationship with a wealthy man and wanted to become betrothed to him. 

The man did not know the woman was a mother and spurned her advances toward betrothment. The mother was thrown into the arms of insanity, she went back to her house and grabbed her children. She lead them to the river and stabbed both her children and threw them into the river. After the deed was done she ran back to her lover's house and told him she didn't have any children anymore, the man, when he saw her bloody white gown, spurned her for good and threw her outside his house.

This was the last straw for the woman's sanity, she cracked. She ran back to the river, screaming and tearing out her hair, trying in poor deluded vain to find her poor murdered children, but it was too late. Grandfather always said different parts of this part so I have no idea which is the truth. Some say she stabbed and drowned herself in the river. Others say she got caught by a mob and killed for committing the murders. 

Either way she died and that's when grandfather says the weirdness begins. The townspeople soon heard a loud horrible wailing akin to the Irish Banshee's coming from the Rio Grande's banks. Some of the people who went and checked out the wailing saw something wandering the banks that had the body of a woman and sometimes the head of a horse. People knew after a while it was the woman who murdered her children being punished for her sins. According to grandfather, she will appear when somebody drowns in the river, trust me that happens more times then you think.

Now for my story, one day after I turned 17 I was tired of hearing Grandfather's tale of La Llorona thinking he was just being a senile old man, so me and my friends went down to the river after hearing somebody had drowned yet again in the river. 

We laughed and opened a couple beers to pass the time mocking the legend of La Llorona. When all of a sudden this horrible wailing had started to sound out of nowhere. It was bad enough we had to cover our ears to stop from going deaf.

When we opened our eyes and uncovered our ears, the wailing had stopped. My friends and I looked at each other, and thought that had to be somebody playing a prank on us, we had told everybody that we were going to disprove the legend tonight. But nobody was around, at least that we could see. We got our courage and walked to the river's edge, at least I did. I turned around and laughed at my friends who stayed behind by the truck, they were pointing at something behind me. I turned around and came face to face with La Llorona herself. She screamed that horrible wail we heard just minutes before and grabbed me pulling out a knife, that looked ghostly, till she stabbed me in the chest with it puncturing my heart.

After the stab La Llorona threw me into the river and disappeared, my friends ran away afraid they would be next in her attack, that's right I was left to die by the people I called my friends. Anyway I died drowning and bleeding to death. Now my spirit joins La Llorona in her wailing, keeping her company and finding more people to join us in this hellish afterlife....

The eternal song of a desperate soul...

   

     In a small town, where the night brings a strange feeling and the wind blows burial laments, an image terrorizes the place every night, begging and screaming what her soul wants ... desperate to know where her children are.

       Santa Ana is a village that has always been known for its tranquility and its beautiful lake    than in night reflected the huge moon, after a while began a rumor about a strange woman who appeared at night scaring the people she met, especially men.

     Some people in the village have told Mr Albeiro that some strange sounds were heard in the streets late at night, but Albeiro does not believe in that.

     When Albeiro leaves his job almost at midnight he must walk a lot and cross a forest that  leads him home, and after some days he has noticed some strange things happen in this way,  because when he walks into the forest, he begins to feel like the air is heavier and watching the  leaves of the trees tremble as if they were terrorized by some strange reason, her heart races  and when he is close to leave the forest he feels that something is behind him.

     Every night he started having the same nightmare where the cry of a woman haunted him and    held him, until one day he went out to work normally, and that night a storm broke out in the    village, he walked back through the forest until he began to hear the same cry that haunted his  dreams and he began to realize that his nightmare was coming true.

     Desperately began to run, but felt that the weeping was heard louder, and he felt a strange  breath on his neck, Albeiro felt that ran through a nightmare from which he could not escape,  and while more rapid he was running the road seemed farther and farther, suddenly he felt a  freezing hands that were taken from his legs dipping him within the forest.

     After that night no one heard anything about him...

      Two weeks after a young man who came from Bogota arrived to take a vacation in this town,  this young man was a great lover of music and poetry and  wanted to find inspiration for his  new compositions, and despite hearing some rumors about  paranormal things, that same  night, this guy went to the lake of the town.

     Adrian came to the lake where he could only see the great Moon reflected in the water and  where solitude and mystery are felt in the wind. Despite this Adrian believed that this  environment it would help find the inspiration to he needed. Suddenly he saw a silhouette of a  woman looked out from the Lake, Adrian came to that place of the lake where he heard the  cries of that woman, she was back with a white dress, and when he was just about to touch her  a Hellscream shook the whole place.

     A few days later some villagers found only Adrian's guitar, a pen and a sheet of paper where a  strange and chilling letter was written; "this sound seems to be the eternal song of a desperate  soul"...
