The cyhyraeth (Welsh pronunciation: [kəˈhəreθ]) is a ghostly spirit in Welsh mythology, a disembodied moaning voice that sounds before a person's death. Legends associate the cyhyraeth with the area around the River Tywi in eastern Dyfed, as well as the coast of Glamorganshire. The noise is said to be "doleful and disagreeable", like the groans and sighs of someone deathly ill, and to sound three times (growing weaker and fainter each time) as a threefold warning before the person expires. Along the Glamorganshire coast, the cyhyraeth is said to be heard before a shipwreck, accompanied by a corpse-light.

  • Gwrach y Rhibyn ['ɡurɑːx ə 'hribɨn] ist in der keltischen Mythologie von Wales eine Hexe als Todesgeist in der Gestalt eines hässlichen alten Weibes. Die Gwrach wird auch mit den Cyhyraeth [kəˈhəreθ] in Verbindung gebracht, Geistern, die den Tod eines Menschen mit unheimlichem Heulen ankündigen sollen. Wie die schottischen Cailleach und die irischen Banshee klagen Gwrach und Cyhyraeth auch über den Tod von Landsleuten in der Fremde. (de)
  • Il cyhyraeth, o anche nella forma cyheuraeth (pronuncia: cahàreth), è un'entità spettrale della mitologia gallese, una voce senza corpo che si ode prima della morte di una persona. (it)

Like the Irish banshee and the Scottish Cailleach, to which the cyhyraeth and the Gwrach y Rhibyn are closely related, the cyhyraeth also sounds for Welsh natives dying far from home. (en)
