Keening

The old haunted house echoed with the keening cries of unseen spirits.

The patient lay in the hospital bed, his keening thoughts consumed by the desire to be healthy again.

The character in the novel was portrayed as a keening figure, forever yearning for redemption and forgiveness.

The mourners joined in a collective keening, their voices blending in a sorrowful chorus that echoed through the valley.

The old television emitted a high-pitched keening noise whenever it was turned on.

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
