Banshee Manor Story

 

 The McCraulic Clan is notorious for being ruthless, barbaric and pure evil. Rarely would anyone enter the manor's walls without being brutalized, tortured or murdered, often for sport more than for punishment of perceived crimes.  

 

The Banshee's constant screams and cries often shattered the silence of the night foretelling of yet another death and as she mournfully shepherded the poor soul to the other side. The Banshee grew weary of the McCraulics' and their evil ways and all the death. Oh, so much death.  

 

The Banshee decided to punish the McCraulics and tortured them with her constant keening, driving them mad. And as her final punishment, she no longer led their souls to their final resting place, instead, imprisoning them with their victims inside.
