Origin[]

In Irish folklore, a banshee is a female spirit whose loud wailings are a sign that someone is about to die. According to the stories passed down by generations, every family in Ireland is watched over by a banshee. When a member of that household is about to die, the specter of a woman roams the land nearby, mourning the doomed person with ear-splitting screams in a supernatural voice that only the victim's family members can hear. What's worse is when the spirit of the banshee is actually seen–that's a sign that the person seeing the ghost is the one who's going to die. A banshee's wails aren't just to warn a family of approaching death. Old Irish spiritual beliefs claim that the banshee's cries ultimately lead the dead person's soul into the spirit world.

Banshees can appear in three forms: a pretty young woman in white robes, a middle-aged woman in a cloak or an old hag in wrapped in tattered sheets. These three forms represent the three faces of Badb, the Celtic goddess of war and death.

Once in a while, several banshees from an area come together and scream in a deafening, supernatural chorus. When this happens, legends say that someone important and powerful will soon be dead.

Though banshees are spirits, some say they can be caught if a person sneaks up on them while they're screaming. If a banshee is captured, it must reveal the name of the person for whom it is wailing.
