Banshees

Banshees are mythical spirits from Irish folklore known for their haunting wails, which are believed to foretell the death of someone in a family. Traditionally depicted as women with long, flowing hair and deathly appearance, the banshee’s cry serves as an omen rather than an evil act. Their presence symbolizes mourning and the transition between life and death, emphasizing cultural beliefs about the connection between the spiritual and human worlds. While rooted in legend, banshees remain powerful symbols in Irish storytelling and folklore.
