“A story of the Lamb Community”, written in the 1960s by Ruby Franklin Hall, has the following passage regarding the Banshee:
“The story of the Banshee has been handed down from generation to generation in the Lamb Community for the last 150 years.  The story goes something like this: A little girl with her clothing ablaze ran shrieking from a burning church house in Ireland. Hugh McConnell, then a young man tried to catch the little girl to put her blazing clothing out, but the little
girl eluded him and ran back into the burning building and was burned to death.  The Banshee is the spirit of this little girl.  Her spirit appears and wails a high-pitched scream to warn McConnell that there was going to be a death in his family.  Thereafter, when one of the descendents of Hugh McConnell came to die, this Banshee would appear and scream the death cry of the little girl as she was burning to death.  It is believed to have been about the year of 1811 that Hugh McConnell, with his new bride settled in Hardin County near what would later be called Battery Rock.
Mr. and Mrs. McConnell raised several boys and girls and one of the girls married Jonathan Brown.  When decedents of Jonathan Brown came to die, the Brown family would hear the cry of the Banshee.  When Old Granny Brown was dying, the Banshee appeared and from the actions of Granny Brown, this Banshee actually tried to get into bed with her…….. One of the daughters of Jonathan Brown married a Lewis and when I was growing up in the Lamb community, this Banshee was called the Lewis Banshee.  When a
Lewis came to die, certain members of the Lewis family would hear the dread cry of the Banshee. Milton Lewis was a close friend of mine.  Many times when we were out listening to the fox hounds run,
maybe at John Scott Point, Dick McDowell’s or Morgan Ridge, I have heard him tell about hearing the
Banshee.  Milton Lewis was a God-fearing man.  He believed in the bible.  He believed that the Banshee
was trying to tell him something if only he could figure it out.”
