Latinx people can be quite superstitious, and our belief in the mystical or supernatural is mostly rooted in the folktales of our ancestors—stories that have been passed down from generation to generation (i.e. La Llorona, El Cuco, El Chupacabra). But many of the stories we think of as universal in Latin America are often adapted to fit a specific region or issue. These stories not only serve to fuel our very healthy imaginations, but also help us confront some of our most irrational fears and teach valuable lessons. They also allow our Latinx elders and parents to manipulate younger generations into doing what they want—even if it means instilling fear. And while that might sound cruel, for many of us, it’s often the most fun part.
