La Llorna- Dreams- Dreams- Witchcraft by Nettie Chavez; Fed her kids to the pigs because she didn't want them anymore and is now cursed. La Llarona cried in their window two months before their daughter was killed. She won't pass on until the world ends. Sometimes she will let you know something that is good for you- might appear to you if you disobey your parents. She lives in the hills- that's where her voice comes from- she might live in the bosques, all around. There was a girl and her boyfriend who went over to the West Mesa and were parked. He left the car and said he'd come right back. All of a sudden while she was alone, she heard scraping the window- she refused to look at the noise. The boyfriend never came back. A cop came by to tell her he was hanging from a tree and to not look back. She can come in any shape. Random times she might come out and cry. Not necessarily connected to the devil, rather she is being punished by god. You can harm people with witchcraft, and speaker knows some witchcraft, but wouldn't ever use it. No such thing as something good in witchcraft. Albuquerque Historical Society; MP3 Converted, undated
