Stories about this disturbing and complex figure even existed as part of the Aztec culture thousands of years ago. Today, numerous versions of the legend are told wherever people speak Spanish. Generations of children have been scared by grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, and friends who told them about the ghost who haunts the rivers, ditches, and waterways of the world. The legendary Wailing Woman is not merely frightening; she is profoundly tragic and very real to many people.
