The Word of the Day is BANSHEE.
ban·shee
/ˈbanSHē/
noun
(in Irish legend) a female spirit whose wailing warns of an impending death in a house.
A banshee (/ˈbænʃiː/ BAN-shee; Modern Irish bean sí, from Old Irish: ben síde, pronounced [bʲen ˈʃiːðʲe], “woman of the fairy mound” or “fairy woman”) is a female spirit in Irish folklore who heralds the death of a family member,[1] usually by wailing, shrieking, or keening. Her name is connected to the mythologically important tumuli or “mounds” that dot the Irish countryside, which are known as síde (singular síd) in Old Irish.[2]

This really was a challenge- I wanted to keep elements of the Banshee but I also wanted to give her more to do then shriek. It was pretty hard! Anyway this is what I came up with: https://animosbones.com/2020/10/17/augies-field/
