Base on the hispanic legend "La Llorona" or "The Weeping Woman."

The basic premise of the legend is a narcisistic woman, who when rejected by her husband, takes her rage out on her children. Sometimes it says that she drowned them in the river, other times that she scared them off and they fell in. When she realizes what she has done, she throws herself in the river and drowns. Her ghost resides at the banks of rivers, weeping and wailing, waiting for children to come by so she can take them.
