This is a story that's near and dear to my heart. When I was a kid, La Llorona was a popular story to tell on the beach next to the waves.
A Mexican ghost story of a woman who, from sadness or madness, does the unthinkable and drowns her two children & then herself. The tale differs from place to place, and from time to time, but one detail is consistent. The Weeping Woman is still out there, wailing and mourning her two boys... and looking for others to join them. If you see a woman in white down by the river, you have to watch out. It could be La Llorona.
