- The bean sidhe is heard crying for certain people. She is heard crying for the Dugnans, the Grays', and the Morris family and some people named Kelly. A man named Pat Duffy heard her crying for a woman named Mrs Paul Dugnan. He saw a small little woman dressed in white and she let a cry that could be heard for some distance. It was much like the cry of a cat only it was much louder. Many other people who were at the wake on that night heard her cry too. People say that when a person is going away and not to come back such as going to war and that he will be killed she cries for them.
