A Scottish Encounter

I saw a banshee one time on a trip to Scotland. Or... something like it. It really just looked like a really pretty middle-aged woman in a fancy old-style dress. Except she was floating... Yeah.

Anyway, I was just running over to a neighbor's house across the lane from the friend I was visiting to get a wrench or... some tool or other. It was around 8 or so, and it was winter, so it was dark already. Like, pitch black dark. So, I'm walking down the lane and hear the sound of cloth rippling in the wind. I look behind me, and there is a beautiful woman about 3 feet behind me.

Now, automatically, I'm freaked out at this point. Normal people don't appear out of nowhere. And so I do the most logical thing I know in this situation. I point and scream, "Holy Mary Mother of Jesus!"

Well, at this the woman looked... pissed, to say the least. My guess is she didn't like someone screaming in her face. So she screamed back.... Very, very loudly.

"SKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Have you ever had somebody sit on your head? I mean, put their whole physical weight upon your cranium? Well, at this point, that's how I feel. I grip my head, now throbbing in pain, and bend doubled over in pain.

For what seems like hours I stand there, head in my hands. My eyes blur, and I'm overcome by a sense of extreme vertigo and dizziness. At last, it stops, and I'm now on my knees. I look up and she looks back down at me, a smirk on her face, and a very satisfied one at that. She draws a deep breath, obviously rearing back for another yell.

Panicking, I bolt through her and run back to the house, screaming my head off. I run through the whole house, disrupt whatever conversation was going on, bolt into my room, lock the door, and refuse to come back out or sleep until dawn.

When my family asks what happened and where the wrench was, I simply shouted out of the room, "Screw the wrench! I aint goin back out there!" Needless to say, my family was kind of ticked, as they needed the wrench, but also worried.

When asked what happened the next morning, I explained, and the friends we were visiting looked rather shaken. They said the police had found an old homeless man dead outside in a ditch. ...His eardrums had exploded.
