La Llorona "The Weeping Woman" is a ghost or spirit who wails near bodies of water mourning for her children who she drowned in a jealous rage after finding out that her husband cheated on her.  There are many variations of this tale as it's been passed down for many generations, but the earliest documentation of La Llorona is traced back to 1550 and it could be linked to Aztec mythological creations stories.
