- The BansheeAnne Quinlan's father was one day leaving his fort (now Kennedy's) Carhue. Before he jumped off ditch he saw a woman combing long golden hair. When she saw him she disappeared leaving a white comb after her. He brought home the comb and left it on the dresser.
That night at twelve he heard a woman outside crying for her comb. He handed it out through the kitchen window with the tongs. He was lucky that he did not but out his hand for the tongs were twisted to bits.Told by Anne Quinlan (70) Seskin, Upperchurch.- Informant
