There are like a billion versions for La Llorona... a different one of the above^^ was that she was once a beautiful living woman with 3 kids, and was in love with a soldier. She wanted him to marry her, but he agreed on one condition: that she kill her kids. Blinded by 'love', she did. She drowned her children in a river, while the soldier was at a war fighting, having promised that he would return. But she soon received news of his death, and she eventually died of loneliness and regret. They say her ghost/spirit haunts the river where she drowned them, always crying "¡Ayy mis hijos!" (Ohh my children!).
As for the chupacabras... people used to say that in barns or some places with animals (especially goats, hence the name), there were animal attacks. AT night they were fine, but in the morning they were found dead. All of them were said to be drained of blood, with only 1 or 2 punctured holes on their body. There were almost never any witnesses, and the few that did see what happened claimed they didn't hear a thing; some dogs were also said to be patrolling the night and the next morning woke up really strange. No evidence either; occasionally some footprints spread aprox. 15 feet apart, meaning that it had a great ability to jump.

La Llorona was once a beautiful woman by the name of Maria. She fell in love and had an affair with a rich, handsome man. She was happy, and became pregnant with The man's children. She tried to convince him to marry her, because she loved him and had his children. He said he would, but only if she killed her children. Maria agreed, and took her children to a river where she drowned them. But when she returned to her lover and told him, he refused to marry her. Rejected, Maria killed herself. She rose to heaven, and when she reached the gates, she was asked where her children were.
"I don't know," said Maria, and so she was told she could not enter heaven until they were found. She returned to the earth and began walking around, weeping, searching for her lost children. It is said she can be heard crying out for her children to come to her, and while she looks beautiful from afar, closer up, she has a gruesome, green face and rotten teeth. Children are warned from misbehaving, because if they do, La Llorona will come and snatch them up.
