Riddle me this limerick.

not a third or fifth but 6 geese are laying.

By The Celtic SpiritPublished about an hour ago 1 min read

Oh Traveller welcome to the isle

The most emerald of all the isles

Where the screams are heard

But not a word was heard

But a slender figure, dark and styled

Either appears young and beautiful

Or an old hag, both immutable

Warnings of the future

Both older and newer

Both something irrefutable

They are signs of death to come for you

With scream and wailing and crying too

Seen ringing out a rag

Hence why they're called hags

what could this creature possibly be?
