La Llorona in Juvenile Hall on JSTOR

this is SO interesting also The White Lady Of Elysian Park’s story and how it’s evolved since then (Now she’s often specifically a Pachuca murdered by WWII sailors) says a lot about… a lot of stuff.

It’s also really really REALLY heart wrenching and I don’t recommend you read it if you’re not in a space to deal with it right now (it has a lot of stuff that relates deeply to issues of class, race, and gender, and just like… I wish I could help and protect every “bad” teenage girl out there)

Do Good Ghosts In Horror Movies Have To Manifest Like That

Can they not help it?  Why does this always happen?  Also like maybe try not being so startling?  Like even if you look like a giant skeleton you don’t have to burst through doors, also like “hey it’s me, sorry if I scared you” would go a long way to getting you listened to.

Also why are they always so cryptic?  Like even if you only get so many words “Don’t marry the Baronet” is as many words as “beware of crimson peak” and much clearer.
