This article was moved to "Ceres (mythology)" [sic] by someone ignorant of Ceres (Roman mythology), the Roman Demeter. Keres, the plural of ker, is correct here.--Wetman (talk) 17:35, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the Gwrach y Rhibyn

The Gwrach y Rhibyn, a traditional Welsh death omen and visitation with eye-witness descriptions equivalent to the Keres, is given in Book II, Chapter VII of British Goblins: Welsh Folk-lore, Fairy Mythology, Legends and Traditions, by Wirt Sikes, 1880. 64.90.143.2 (talk) 23:48, 21 April 2011 (UTC)Samgwan Spiess[reply]

Possible Etymology

Keres sounds alot like Curse, both phonetically & in meaning.
