Hello, dear readers. 
<div class="text-justify">Today we will continue with the series of women ghosts. In this opportunity I want to continue with another of the best known stories in Venezuela and is the legend of La Sayona. This woman is confused with La Llorona, a story we reviewed earlier. The similarity lies, perhaps, in that the two are ghosts of women usually appear at night, wandering the streets, with a long dress. But the big difference is behind the story of each of these ghosts and the reason they wander. When it comes to La Llorona, the woman appears screaming looking for her children, while La Sayona looks for unfaithful men.

#

Legend has it that there was a very jealous woman named Casilda who believed that her husband was having an affair with his mother. There were so many jealousies that once, blinded by anger and despair, she killed her husband and her own mother. It is said that the dying mother cursed her daughter and condemned her to wander in life and death bearing the guilt of murder and jealousy. Supposedly, for the Venezuelan, there is nothing like a mother's curse.

In this sense, it is interesting to note that in Venezuela people believe in curses. Curses are a type of spell or prophecy that one person wants for another. It is believed that these evil and unhealthy desires, if invoked by a member of your family, are fulfilled. Ideally, if you think someone has cursed you, say: "The curse of an old magician does not reach heaven, and if he does, he returns, in this way and with these words, the evil that the other person has desired, does not fall on you, but is returned to the other person.

Continuing with the story of La Sayona, it is said that it is a spirit of a beautiful woman who usually appears to unfaithful men. Normally she pursues them or appears to them attracting them with her beauty, and when they approach her, she shows them her sharp tusks, ready to devour them.

In many of the regions, the ghost of this beautiful woman is present in a thousand ways. In some areas. For example, in some places she often appears on highways and roads asking for a "ride". The men who have survived to tell their experience say that when they see this beautiful and provocative woman in the middle of the night, they stop their vehicles for the woman to ride. But being inside and after a while of coquetry, the woman shows her fangs and the men have fatal accidents.

#

The end of many of these stories ends with allegory or advice to be faithful to their partners, so many people believe that this story was invented so that men did not go out to look for women at night. There are even books where this legend is questioned and it is said that in the colony some women disguised themselves as Sayona to meet their lovers and not be recognized.

In summary, whatever the true origin of this legend, what has remained in the memory of all Venezuelans is that in any night and in any place, there is a beautiful woman, who appears in the middle of nowhere, provoking unfaithful men to then guide them to death.
