HAG OF THE MIST
The Hag of the Mist, known in Welsh as the Gwrach-y-Rhibyn or the Cyoeraeth, is a hag spirit comparable to the Irish banshee. Like the banshee, the Hag of the mist is portrayed as an ugly woman, whose shriek or cry is said to forewarn of misfortune or death.
Often invisible, she can sometimes be seen at a crossroads or stream when the mist rises.
Her shriek warns of coming misfortune or even death. If it is death that is coming, the name of the one doomed to die will be heard in her "shrill tenor". The misfortune may be coming to the person hearing her voice, or to someone in their family.
