I thought I heard the Banshee but it was a Fox with a cough

Blindboy shares a personal anecdote about confronting a mysterious wail in an abandoned petrol station, initially fearing it was a banshee or an injured child, only to discover it was a fox. This experience prompts a deep dive into Irish folklore, specifically the Banshee's origins as a "woman of the fairy mound," and her historical counterpart, the Keener—a professional mourner. He discusses how the ancient, expressive tradition of keening was lost due to famine and suppressed by British colonialism and "muscular Christianity," which fostered the "stiff upper lip" attitude towards emotion.
