Mexican ghost story. (The cryer woman)

Hernan Cortez was a Spanish conquistador who initiated the conquest, in the 16th century. Cortés was part of the generation of Spanish colonizers that began the first phase of the Spanish colonization of America. He always was accompanying with a young and beautiful lady of name “La Malinche” (“La llorona”). She was an indigenous woman from the Mexican Gulf Coast.

After they married and had children, he left her alone, sometimes he left her as another woman, sometimes for employment, and sometimes just to be away of her and their children. Because of that the Llorona choose to murder her children, drowning them in the river, either to spare them a poor life and for revenge against their absent or stray father. When all the people tell to Hernan Cortez what was happened he decided to find her at the river and help her and their children. But he was so late because she was already dead, after she was searching for her children in the river and she didn't find them, she kill herself. And all the time in the river you can here what she scream...HAY MIS HIJOS, HAY MISS HIJOSSS......(Hoo my children, hoo my children)and she always is crying.
