Banshee – Ireland
Nearest city: Counties of Leinster & Munster
The Banshee (Bean Sí, “woman of the fairy mound”) is one of Ireland’s most enduring supernatural figures, said to wail or keen as a harbinger of death in a family. Descriptions vary, sometimes a withered old crone, other times a pale young woman in a grey cloak with streaming hair. Traditionally linked to noble Gaelic families, reports of banshee-like screams persist into modern times, often tied to tragic events or sudden deaths.
