    Legends From Puerto Rico and the Case of Luis Angel Diaz Castro

    In Puerto Rico, it is said La Llorona haunts the Puente de las Calabazas in the town of Coamo. But, that's not the only haunted bridge.

    Before that, Carmen reads a listener story and they listen to the rest of it. This listener story is a little longer than usual, but it is a weird one. What are your thoughts?
