La SayonaA vengeful revenant of the Venezuelan Llanos who hunts unfaithful and roving men. Named for the sayal, her long tunic, or from sayón, the punisher. Related in the plains to El Silbón; not La Llorona.La SiguanabaA Central American spectre — Siguanaba, Sihuanaba, Cigua, Cegua — beautiful from behind, horse-faced or skull-faced up close. Related to La Llorona as a weeping or water woman in popular talk, but not the same being: she punishes lust and infidelity, and in Salvadoran cycles seeks her son Cipitío.
