THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Woman Hollering Creek is named for one of Texas' most enduring legends. Folklore tells of a ghostly woman whose cries echo along the creek at night, and generations of witnesses have reported hearing unexplained screams and seeing mysterious apparitions near the water.
This creek was most probably named after the La Llorona myth. La Larona (the Weeping Woman) is the hispanic boogey-woman. She appears everywhere and the story is always the same: a woman drowns her child in a river/lake/ocean/pond/drainage ditch/bathtub and then spends all eternity wailing for her lost child and searching desperately for it. Many drownings are attributed to her influence as it is claimed if you get to close to where she is haunting/searching for her child, she will pull you in hopes that you are the child she is seeking.
