In the Mexican folklore this is the apparition of a woman who lost her children by killing them herself; drowning them in the river near her house, there are many versions of this story trying to explain why she killed them. One says that she got rid of them because her husband ran away with another woman, another version says that the reason was because her husband died and she couldn't support them anymore or she just went crazy killing the kids along with her husband committing suicide afterwards, but all versions agree that her restless soul, after perpetuating such crime, came back looking for forgiveness; wandering around Hispanic American cities' streets crying out "where are my kids?!" or "Oh my kids!".

Other people maintain that this is the spirit of "La Malinche" the Nahua woman that was the interpreter and lover of Hernán Cortéz when the Spanish conquered the Aztec Empire, she comes back from the dead asking forgiveness for her betrayal of her people. The legend says that whoever sees her, bad things will happen to the unlucky one or his/her family will suffer, whether the death of a relative, or deathly illnesses.

This entity could be taken as well as the Hispanic version of the Banshee from the Irish folklore. Many people claim to have seen her and described her as a beautiful young woman with black long hair, wearing a white dress, whether a nightgown or wedding dress, but also it is believed that she wears a veil covering her face and if someone is close enough to see her, he or she will be able to see through the veil a hideous fleshless face, then she will emit an unearthly scream, murdering her victim after, even though looking at a face like this could cause anyone a cardiac arrest.
