                                    👉👉there are tales and stories that we tell to scare one another to prey on fears and insecurities for our own amusement and then there are cautionary tales that we tell because we believe they keep us safe or at least they give the illusion of safety but there are also stories like today's that are a strange combination of the two what started off as a cautionary tale has now become an urban legend and with the release of the curse of Leia onna on the big screen I guess now would be a perfect time to examine the legend that we've previously discussed but in some more detail liar onna primarily appears in Mexican folklore and her name translated from Spanish means the weeping woman no one really knows the exact origin of Layana but her story has existed since the 16th century during the time of the conquistadors and today she's definitely become what we would describe as an urban legend a ghost of a thin woman dressed in a white or black gown who weeps as she roams the lakes and creeks in search of children to drag to a watery grave whatever you do don't go out past dark a liar honor will take you something that I'm sure many of my Hispanic followers and viewers would have heard growing up from parents or grandparents similar to tales of Lamia Baba Yaga or even just a boogeyman liar Onan was a cautionary tale told mostly to children now of course she wasn't always this ghostly figure who drowned kids in the river there is a backstory or in this case there are several explanations as to how she became the weeping woman and judging by the name I'm sure you've gathered that these aren't going to be happy stories in most stories she's referred to as a woman named Maria who came from a very poor background the first story that we'll be discussing today involves Maria marrying a wealthy man who had a rather shady past being an alcoholic and a womanizer regardless Maria still loved him of all of her heart and she had hoped that for her he would change his ways and he did in the beginning he showered her with gifts and gave her all of his attention but this of course wouldn't last for very long when Maria had his two sons he began to change returning to his womanizing ways and turn into alcohol to fill the void that she once filled and he would leave Maria and their boys alone for months on end with no explanation a warning and eventually he became so disinterested that

                                       👉👉👉he told Maria he was leaving her for a woman of his own wealth and social standing as you can imagine Maria didn't take this too well especially as he would only return to visit his children leading her to resent them more and more each day eventually it all became too much and during a walk by the river she noticed her ex-husband in a carriage with a younger and far more beautiful woman he stopped the carriage but only to speak to his children before driving off completely ignoring Maria Maria this would be the last straw and in a fit of rage she threw her children into the river and watch as they drowned and disappeared down the stream and by the time she came to her senses it was two lanes she tried to find her children along the riverbank but they were no longer in sight in her grief she ran down the streets of her town screaming and wailing uncontrollably for her lost children soon after grief-stricken and with no will left Maria was found dead by the very same riverbank that she had thrown her son's in upon reaching the gates of heaven she was asked about the whereabouts of her children to which she had no answer and so she was denied entry into the afterlife she would instead spend eternity in between the land of the living and the land of the dead searching for her lost children it's believed she was then seen on the banks of the river SantaFe looking for children to drown so that others might feel the same pain and loss that she was cursed to feel there are several one of the versions that attempt to tell the origin story of layered honor the two most popular being that liar honor was or at least is linked to the Aztec goddess seeig Waddle a snake woman associated with motherhood and fertility who dresses in white and walks the night weeping and wailing she was also considered an omen of war many believe the legend of layered on I came to exist because SIA coatl roamed the rivers moaning and weeping to warn the people of the invading conquistadors in some stories Maria's husband was actually a Spanish conquistador who abandons her and leaves her to care for her children alone the skink ISA door at times was even believed to be Hernan Cortez who's famous for lead in the Spanish expedition that led to the fall of the Aztec empire in these stories Mira is described as he's interpreter and concubine quarters then of course would leave her to marry a Spanish woman Maria disgraced and shunned by her own people out of vengeance thing killed Cortez's children there are different variants of this story that are a little bit more vague that simply described Maria been jilted by a Spanish lover interestingly enough Maria isn't always the victim of a terrible marriage there are stories where she was a rather vain woman who spent all of her time partying and neglecting her children one night when she returned home both of her sons had drowned and for this neglect she was cursed in the afterlife now the stories of Leia Rana do vary drastically and the rivers of Mexico aren't the only place in Latin America where people have claimed to have seen her or at least heard her wailing even her behavior can vary from region to region some believe that she only drowns children or as others also believed that she kills men because of her lost lover there are also tales where she's far more barbaric killing anyone who crosses her path man woman or child now as of most urban legends that we cannot approve there are some quite wild stories involving the weeping woman the year is 1986 in Houston Texas and a woman by the name of Juana tried to kill her seven children by throwing them in the Buffalo Bayou when questioned by the authorities she told them that she believed that she was layer Anna upon further investigation it turns out that she was a victim of domestic violence so bad that she wanted to end her suffering as well as that of her children sadly two of her children did in fact die in what turned out to be an odd and truly disturbing story there is also a story of a boy who would routinely argue of his mother one day after a particularly heated argument the boy and his brothers left their ranch and made their way to Santa Fe in a carriage when they arrived at the riverbank they saw a tall thin woman dressed in white with a black veil covering her face all of a sudden she appeared in the carriage seen her right in between the brothers leaving the brothers petrified and speechless when the brothers decided to turn around and head home she turned to face them and
                                                                       

                                      👉👉👉said if you argue with your mother I will visit you again the boys continued on their way home heeding the warning of Layard honor to respect their mother as the next time they encountered the weeping woman she may not have been so friendly I've also come across stories of people that claimed during their dreams and encounters of Layard honor she removes her veil which means she has chosen you to join her in her search for her children in the afterlife which is also in itself quite a scary thought if she doesn't kill you then you may be cursed for eternity the fact that I've never been to Mexico and I'm also not Hispanic means I can't really say what it's like growing up with these stories but Layana certainly seems to be more than just a ghost story there seems to be another superstition surrounding her and Latin America and that's definitely something that's been passed down from generation to generation despite it being a story used to stop children from going out late at night it seems that you don't have to look particularly far to find someone who either knows someone or who themselves have had an encounter of Layard honor it is definitely interesting to see so many similar stories in cultures all around the world in Greek mythology both Lamia and Medea have similar stories being women who are scorned and ultimately end up killing children if we take the more Aztec idea of her image being seen as a warning of danger that in itself is quite similar to the Irish myths of the Banshee who also has a fairly similar appearance these stories lead into the theory that lie Adana might be similar to the European myths because the Europeans may have influenced the native stories during their expeditions
