For a while I was playing in a table-top roleplaying game strongly influenced by those myths and stories. I think it may even have been started by the same article and some other research into La Llarona.

And, in the end, I think that was the reaction most of us had to it as well. It's compelling and heartbreaking all at once. It speaks to the worst and best of the world at the same time.
