Regardless of which tale you believe, the end result is the same. Go to the front of Wiley College and flash your lights three times, and you'll either see three flashing lights in return, or the light of a motorcycle heading toward you. It depends on which tale you believe, but suffice it to say, there are creepy lights that seem to respond to you.
This location is said to be very haunted and the actual spot where many ghosts like to congregate to haunt the living the ghost here are said to haunt those that wear hats often pulling them off the heads of those walking by.
There is also a ghost known to pull the weaves right out of someone's head. Many times you will see the remains of an expensive weave on the ground the poor young women that have this happen to them are usually scared for life. They heads are often left bloodied and they never are the same.

Many versions of La Llorona's origin exist. Here is a comparatively common version. Maria (La Llorona) thought she was very beautiful, so she wanted the handsomest man to marry. So she got what she wanted. Once they were married

they had a boy and after that a girl. Last they had boy. Maria's husband started to work out of town for a month or so. He came to visit his children, but not his wife. He didn't pay attention to her. Once Maria's husband came to visit them, but he came with a woman. He talked to his children and told them he was going to marry another woman. Maria was so mad that she got mad at her own children for no reason. So that's when she took them to the river and drowned them. Then she realized what she had done and started to cry for her children and killed herself. Next morning a man from the village came with the story that he found Maria dead by the riverbank. So the villagers buried her. In the very middle of the night they heard a woman crying for her children and that's when they found out it was Maria's ghost. People then started calling her ''La Llorona''.
In my home town the ghost lady as some call her the ''Woman In White''. The city of Marshall, Texas was a political and production center of the Confederacy during the Civil

War, and was a major railroad center of the T&P Railroad from the late 19th century until the mid-20th century. The city's large African American population and the presence of black institutions of higher learning made Marshall a center of the civil rights movement in the South. The city is known for holding one of the largest light festivals in the United States, the Wonderland of Lights,and, as the self-proclaimed Pottery Capital of the World, for its sizable pottery industry. But it is also known for the very real haunting of a ghost the locals call ''The Crying Lady in White''.
