Summary:bibe n ahead of them 'till it goes to the graveyard. The older people in my community, my grandmother, for example, believed in the "bibe", without clearly explaining what it was. My mother knows the term but never placed any belief in it and I heard the term from her. No one believes in it now or the younger generation do no know the term at all. The "Banshee" was also heard of in Cape Broyle. For example it could be used in threats against children, e.g. my mother told me that my Grandfather used to tell her if she didn't come in before dark, "the "Banshee" [-]would[-] will take you." Used I Used I Not used This is the reverse of B_3735. On last line of quote, "would" has been crossed out and replaced with "will".
