Siguanaba

Mm-hmm.

Siguanaba.

They're pretty similar stories to Llorona-

Mm-hmm

It's primarily used to keep your children home at night and to keep them away from bodies of water.

Mm-hmm.

And I can't think of one Guatemalan child that hasn't had an aunt or uncle go, "Ay, Siguanaba," in the dark and scare the shit out of us.

Oh, boy.

Okay, it's S-I-G-U-A-N-A-B-A.

Siguanaba? La Siguanaba?

Si- La Siguanaba?

You heard of that one?

I have not.

Mm-hmm

... supernatural figures.

La Siguanaba, also spelled Siguanaba, or instead of a G an H, La Siwa- Siwanaba, a spirit that lures men, especially those who are unfaithful or wandering alone at night, with her haunting beauty.
