__** La Llorona (The Weeping Woman) **__ **They say that a crazy weeping woman appears in a street near the ** **high school of ****Mexico. She dances and if you look at her you'll go ** **completely mad. ****She wanders at night in the streets, vacant lots, and ** **valleys of Mexico, ****weeping over the death of her children. //"O// //h, my //** **//children", //she yells, causing ****even the bravest hearts to shudder. **
 * Mexican  Myths and  Legends **

__** The Chupacabra **__


 * As dusk falls over the countryside of Northern Mexico, the typical farmer heads home, leaving his cows, horses and goats in their pens. Lurking in the shadows, however, is a hairless, wingless gargoyle with long, razor-sharp teeth: the legendary chupacabra. He has picked out his victim for this night: a fat, slow cow. As the farmer turns out the lights in his home, the chupacabra goes to work. In the morning, the farmer will find nothing but a dried up body in the pen. Since about 1990, legends have grown all over Latin America (particularly Mexico) of the "chupacabra," (whose name translates from the Spanish as "goat-sucker") a nocturnal monster that drinks animal blood. **
