- "My Grandmother, Mrs Ward, Forgney, says that she heard the Banshee crying for Ellie Givens of Pallas, when she died about twenty years ago. The cry was like the cry of a young child, and it continued all night.
The banshee also cries for the Kennys of Rath. When old miss Kenny died last year, 1937, the Banshee was heard by several people crying near the Rath river.
