My name is Eddie and this is my story as it happened
that night. My brother,soon-to-be brother-in-law and myself had been cruising
around in Wero's (soon-to-be brother-in-law) car just listening to music
on that hot summer night. We decided to head to Lasara, a little
town west of Raymondville, where our intentions were to find a grain truck
at the grain elevator and borrow some gas to keep on cruising, well we
borrowed the gas and stopped at an old ranch house that had been there
for ages, anyway we stopped to put gas in the car,Wero and me got off and
my brother, being the scardy cat stayed in the car. As we were standing
beside the car we heard some noise inside the old house we yelled out some
things and continued what we were doing, all of a sudden the wind started
blowing pretty weird and from the side of the old house I saw her, the
Lady in white or La Llorrona, I told Wero look! it's la llorona ,we just
stood there unable to move seeing with our own eyes what before had only
been a tale our grandmas used to tell us, she moved in front of the car
abot ten feet in front of us, she was floating about two feet off the ground
her dress was swirling all around her,afterward it reminded me of a scene
from the movie POLTERGEIST, when a spirit is coming down the stairs, that's
what it looked like. Any way she moved towards a gate and the gate started
to open all by itself with a loud groan, she passed and the gate closed
hard behind her, well the shock worn off we ran into the car my brother
was almost under the back seat I mean he was scared, we tried to start
the car but it would'nt start it was just cranking finally it started and
we took off but in our scared state we turnen back toward Lasara, just
as we were getting to the bridge the car just died I mean everything turned
off, I was yelling at Wero to start the car and as I looked out towards
the field I saw her coming straight for the car man my heart started beating
like crazy and I'm yelling"start the car,start the car" she was about five
feet from the car when the car started Wero did a 360 right there in the
middle of the road and we took off not looking back.When we got to our
house we stopped there just sitting for awhile trying to understand what
we had just seen, my brother was so scared he never went cruising with
us again. Wero, well he's my brother-in-law now and from time to time we
talk about that night, the night that made us beleive in La Llorrona.
Hey Eddie, that was scary!
Great
story! --tim
