- A Banshee Story
One night when Jack Brabston was coming home from work he was crossing a field called the "Killeneac"*
He was walking on a path and the Banshee came along and he stepped out of her way and she was combing her hair.W hen she was gone some yards beyond him she began to cry and Jack ran to Going's house and he got a few weaknesses.
*See page 25 Lios na Muice
Note: I know for a fact that Jack Brabston mentioned above gave weeks in bad health after above occurence. Whether he imagined it all or not, I can't say. It was not night - only late of a Summer's evening
