A girl named KG used to live in a house near the border of The United States when she was a kid. She lived in a small Mexican town, being the only child at the time. KG had always heard stories of ghosts roaming the town as a kid. She believed a little in these stories, due to her being young, but ultimately she did not think that ghosts were real. She believed that these stories were told to ensure she would act correctly around her family. She believed these stories were used as a scare tactic, never truly being afraid by these stories. One day, she heard the story of La Llorona. This story stuck with KG, as she knew La Llorona only went after kids. This story stuck with her for some time, but then she forget about it.

About a few months later, KG was on the walk to a nearby store to get a snack. KG didn’t realize how late the time had gotten, suddenly noticing a fog come over the town. As KG was walking back from the store, she almost could not see her feet in front of her due to the thick fog. This fog became troublesome to breathe in, and KG tried rushing back home. On the walk, she said she could almost hear a woman crying. This instantly reminded KG of the story she learned as a kid, causing her to start running out of fear. The crying soon started to fade, but KG swears that she saw a white dress of a woman before she got home.

KG fully believes in this story, and she does not think that any part of it was made up. Tales of ghosts are very common in Mexico, so she has full belief this occurred. Similarily, I also believe this story is true. La Llorona is a spirit that my family has believed in for years, so it is not uncommon for me to think she is truly out there.
