A true creek, we passed it everytime we visited our son when he was stationed at Randolph AFB. the legend as to how it got its name is quite sad and rather tragic.

I passed over it many times on my way to work back in the day , always figgered it had to do with a Comanche raid ,reckon I was wrong.
The horrifically tragic tale of La Llorona is one of the MOST known and told ghost legends in North America. Every kid in elementary school who is browsing ghost story and historical folklore books for the first time will come upon a variation of La Llorona in short order. In Appalachia coal and railroad country, the tales of mysterious lights, ghostly lanterns, and stories of the horrific train accidents of the late 1800s still have hordes of visitors prowling around mountain tunnels which house active Class I main lines, trying to catch glimpses of the specters of folklore. Extremely dangerous, because railroads frequently conduct "power moves" of locomotives, maintenance equipment, or track repair engines like Loram units around the system which are not listed on any manifest schedule visible to the public, and it is very easy for tourists to get trapped in a very limited side clearance tunnel with trains suddenly passing through...
Does this create more ghosts?
