In this chilling episode, the ladies of Curious Explorers invite you to dim the lights and gather close for a haunting journey into the legend of La Llorona—the Weeping Woman. As autumn settles in and Halloween approaches, Kathy weaves a spellbinding retelling of one of the most enduring and eerie folktales from the Americas.

La Llorona is a spectral figure whose grief and warning echo along riversides and through generations. She reminds us of the power of myth, the weight of loss, and the rules we pass down to keep the darkness at bay.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or joining for the first time, this episode promises goosebumps, insight, and a reminder: some stories are meant to be heard in the dark.

Press play—if you dare—and let the river remember you.
