La Llorana

For this contest:

This is her story-

During the 1600's a beautiful woman of columbian culture named Maria lived in the town now known as Baker County, Fl. She lived in a farm house with her two children and her husband. Her husband was never home because he was always working the fields. One day when her husband didn't return from the fields she thought the worst and in her grief she believed that she and her children must be with him forever. That night, she drowned her children in the bathing tub and then she then hung herself in front of the mantle of her once happy but lonely home.

Now they say if you drive down 229 South, where her farm house was off of Ernie Bryant Road, you can see her and her children wandering aimlessly in the fields in late august calling for her husband and their father. If someone who is in love dares look her in the eye they will die instantly of a heart attack!


So...be careful not to look into her eyes!
