“Like haints, Black women are often relegated to frightening caricatures, vengeful when angered, hags when old, unmarried, or eccentric, banshees when loud or wailing…Black women are misnamed, haints are misshapen, so much is done to quell the call, it may be difficult to hear or see that haints, like Black women, may be calling for something to be done.” - drea brown
