I have know about a lot of mexican saying about different things. some are true and others are not. i used to live in this old house(i grew up poor) and it happened to be right beside a river and almost every night i would hear this woman crying out for her kids. it was very VERY frightening and i never wanted to go to sleep alone so i would sleep with my sister and together we would pull the blankets over us and she would sing to me and her beautiful voice to make me forget that there was a lady crying right outside our window... there was also this story my mom and aunts would tell us and i would hear everyone in town talk about this supernatural woman that had half human and half bird face. and the story behind this is that she would fly up high in the sky and if u wore white clothes she would come down really close to u and whistle 3 times and if u whistled back 3 times she would swoop down and gouge out ur eyes and take u away and offer ur body as some kind of sacrifise to the dark side...my cousins friend actually died because this creature....my cousine and her friend were sitting on our popo's front porch and her friend was wearing a white nightgown and she was laying down. all of a sudden they heard a puppy crying in the back of the house and my cousin went to check it out and when she came back to her friend her insides were taking out it looked like something clawed her stomache and she died. and to this very day my cousin had bruises from that thing and her mom said one day she will come for her. thats how they mark u. anyone heard of this??
