Woman Hollering Creek is associated with two local legends: the ghost of La Llorona, a weeping woman who drowned her children and now searches for them by luring others to their deaths in the creek, and a vengeful spirit from an 1800s settler family who were murdered by Native Americans, their mother's screams still echoing there. The Legend of La Llorona: La Llorona is a Latin American myth about a woman who, distraught after being abandoned by her husband, drowns her own children in a river and then drowns herself. Upon reaching the Gates of Heaven, she's told she can't enter until she finds her lost children. She is doomed to walk the riverbanks, eternally weeping and wailing for her children, and will drag anyone who comes too close into the water. The name "Woman Hollering Creek" likely originates from this myth, where the woman's ghostly screams are heard late at night. Visitors claim to hear her cries and feel the presence of her spirit. The Settler Family Legend: In the early 1800s, a settler family was raided by Native Americans. The family was tortured and killed, and the mother's horrified screams for help are said to echo from the creek's banks, especially on a full moon. The creek is considered a creepy and haunted location. Visitors report hearing weeping and wailing, and some believe the ghostly spirit may try to drag them into the water. Whether it's the spectral La Llorona or the murdered settler woman, the creek is steeped in stories of anguish and sorrow.
