Paul Cantu was a guy that worked at the irrigation pumps in the Rio Grande back in 1988. He would usually work in the mornings from 6am to 6pm, but the day when he encountered  La Llorona he was working in the night shift. His co worker told him that if he was going to work at night he had to carry a shotgun because it could get dangerous at night. So it was late October with nice warm weather when all of a sudden he felt a cold chill and saw a light at the end of the river. He did not want to go near the river because people would say that it was haunted and scary. As he got closer and closer he heard a "thing" crying. At first he thought it was a cat, but as he got closer he clearly heard La Llorona crying out for her kids. She was saying "ay mis hijos", "donde estan mis hijos." When he heard this he quickly ran into the office to hide. A few minutes later after hiding and pointing to the office door with a gun, he saw La Llorna pass by thru the window. The next morning when his coworker came into the office he asked why he was pointing at the wall with a gun. Paul explained what he had seen and heard, when his coworker told him that he had seen La Llorona pass by many times. After this encounter with La Llorona Paul Cantu says that he will never go back to the water plant at night. He also says that La Lllorona roams the bank of the river at the end of October when their is a full moon.
