Banshee

A Banshee is a figure from Irish folklore, often depicted as a female spirit or ghost. According to legend, she wails or cries to foretell the death of a family member. The Banshee’s appearance can vary but is often described as having long hair and wearing a white or gray dress. While some view her as a harbinger of doom, she is also seen as a protector of her family line. The Banshee remains a powerful symbol in Irish culture, embodying themes of loss, mourning, and the connection between the living and the dead.
