(1967)
Narration: Anna Gkika
► The bean-nighe (Scottish Gaelic for 'washerwoman' or 'laundress' is a female spirit in Scottish folklore, regarded as an omen of death and a messenger from the Otherworld. She is a type of ban-sìth (Irish: bean sídhe, anglicized as "banshee") that haunts desolate streams and washes the clothing of those who are about to die. Les Lavandières is the French word under which these "night washerwomen" are perhaps best known. She is also called nigheag, 'the little washer', nigheag na h-ath, 'little washer of the ford', or nigheag bheag a bhroin, 'little washer of the sorrow'. [wiki]
► Haynes was born in 1918 and spent her childhood with her twin brother Leonard, in Aberlour Orphanage, Banffshire. Later Haynes moved to Lanark, where she married John S. Gray (who was also a former Aberlour Orphanage resident - see: Haste Ye Back). She had 4 children - Alison, Micheal, Leonard and Ian, with the first two dying from cystic fibrosis.
Haynes worked extensively in support of Girl Guides movement and remained involved with Aberlour Orphanage until its closure. She published the autobiographical novel Haste Ye Back in 1973 in memory of her time there.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer, and died in December 1987.[wiki]
