María lived with her parents in a small, conservative
community. She was innocent, sincere and, above all, her
father's pride and joy. When she was only fifteen, something
unusual happened. María gave birth to a baby boy. No
one had even suspected she was pregnant. Her parents -
especially her father - felt disgraced and betrayed. A shotgun
wedding was the only solution. But when asked who the
father was, María claimed she had never been with a man.
Finding this hard to believe, María's parents struggled to
keep the baby a secret.
One night when María was sleeping, her father quietly
entered her room and took the child.
He carried the helpless bundle to a nearby river and threw
him into the water. María woke up screaming, sensing that
something terrible had happened. She ran out and saw her
father heading back to the house. By the time she reached
the river, it was too late--not only for the baby, but also
for her. Blood was pouring out of her body.
María left only a trail of blood beside the river. Shortly after
her disappearance, people in the community started seeing
apparitions of a young girl holding a baby, weeping beside
the river. These sightings continue to this day.
