- The Banshee follows certain families usually the O's and the Macs. One family I know of, is the O'Regan family. There was a boy named Richard O'Regan, and he was working with a farmer.
On a Saturday, he built a new ditch, and on Sunday he went out playing football, and he got a pain in his stomach. He went to bed, and that night the Banshee was heard crying, and the same night the boy died.- Informant
