Woman in White
Now, we all remember the iconic pilot episode right? Where we first met the Winchesters and had themselves their first monster hunt? For today's supernatural being, we will look about Woman in White! She does have a name though - Constance Welch. If you can recall how she became a supernatural entity, she was married to Joseph, her husband who would break their promise by being unfaithful to their relationship. Heartbroken, Constance then went insane and drowned her two children. She contacted 911 that her children were instead drowned by lack of supervision. An hour later, Constance commited suicide by drowning after she jumped off the Sylvania Bridge near the Centennial Highway.
Constance, now known as Woman in White in Jericho, California, she haunted the highway where she died. She appeared as a lonely yet pretty young hitchhiker. She would beg the young drivers to take her home - which was in reality, her old home, abandoned of course. Once they reach there, Constance would protest that she would never go home. Then, she killed the young drivers after she tempted them into being unfaithful.
An EVP took the voice of Constance saying "I can never go home" when John Winchester left a voicemail to Dean. Sam and Dean then forced her to go home by ramming the car into her home. The souls of Constance's two children appeared and the trio then dragged to the afterlife.
La Llorona
The inspiration of the Woman in White concept is relatively close to La Llorona (The Weeping Woman), a popular folklore in Mexico. The basic story of La Llorona - it has many versions - goes like this.
Maria was a beautiful woman who had killed her children by drowning them to be with the man she loved, but she was rejected by him. After she was rejected, she killed herself. In the afterlife, God asked Maria where did her children went but she replied that she doesn't know.
As a consequence, she was not permitted to go to heaven until she had found her children. As a spirit, she wanders all around Earth, searching for the lost souls of her drowned kids. Her weeping - lives up in her name, huh? - was said to be dangerous especially to the children. La Llorona was said to kidnap wandering children who looked like her lost children or those who disobey their parents.
There you have it! You can see the great difference of our iconic Woman in White as well as their inspirational pioneer, La Llorona. Hope to see you guys soon for more Supernatural Beings!
