Hag of the Dribble
Hag of the Dribble
Welsh banshee named Gwrach y Rbibyn, who was said to carry stones across the mountains in her apron, then untie the string, letting the stones shower down, thus making a "drib-ble." It was believed that at twilight this hag flapped her raven wing against the windows of those doomed to die, and howled ``A-a-a-ui-ui-Anni!''
