There are no records that collaborate the common story that floats around about the woman drowning her two illigitimate children in the river. However there have been numerous children die in the Calumet River. In fact just last week a two year old was ejected from the car during an accident into the river where she drowned. I will not claim this false as there have been children and adults die in the river over the years.

Now completely insane, she roamed the streets, her children’s blood on her hands and dress, weeping and screaming. Before she could be apprehended by the authorities, her body was discovered face down in a pool of muddy water.
For hundreds of years, the story of the bloody, woman in white has been told in Mexico City and she was called “La Llorona, the weeping woman”. Some believe this spirit came north with the immigrants but others believe the Mexican population simply gave the name of their legend to a ghost that already existed in Cudahee.
They claim that the ghost is actually that of a woman whose children were killed in an auto accident in the early 1930’s. After their funeral, she returned to the spot many times and wandered the area crying for her children. She died, completely insane, many years ago, but her spirit still continued to wander.
Despite the frequent sightings of La Llorona, she has remained an elusive ghost. Many researchers and investigators have tried in vain to track her down but she remains one step ahead of them, still roaming the night, crying over the loss of the children whose blood still stains her hands.
La LJorona has been reported in the Cudahee section of Gary, Indiana in the northwest comer of the state. She is most often seen near the comer of Fifth and Cline Avenue.
