Seen a program on TV last nigh saying that People in West Virgina have seen her and then a family member died.... and it only happens to the Irish and the Scottish.
They say she travels on a black horse and dresses in black with a veil. I'm Irish and always heard that she had long grey hair and cried for her lost comb. I never heard of her dressing in black and she never had a veil. What do you think??
Do you beleive in the Banshee?
The Banshee of Bean Shide is a good faerie who warns people that death is near. It is believed that the number of times times you hear her cry, is the number of days the person has left. Some believe that she is the bringer of death but this is untrue. She simply warns us that death is nearby. There are several reasons for her visits. It can allow people to prepare for the death of a loved one, sometimes the death can be avoided and sometimes it is a way of letting someone know their pain will soon end.
Her appearance it described many ways but mostly she is in flowing, billowy clothing. Her cries are filled with sorrow and some find it frightening.
I believe she is very real and that she tends to visit people with Celtic backgrounds because of her own Celtic ancestory.
Do you beleive in the Banshee?
yes I believe the banshee is real, however it is noted that she can only be seen or heard by people of pure Irish decent
Do you beleive in the Banshee?
I think she has her origins in Gaelic folklore and the Chrisitans took it over with the 'fallen angel' idea. She is supposed to be an omen of death, having the gift of foresight. Aparently if there were more than two banshees it would be the death of someone important of holy. I believe the Scottish have an equivalent who is known as 'The washer woman'.
I think the comb comes from the banshees being fairies and and having silver combs to brush their long hair with. Apparently if you see a comb lying you are never to pick it up as it a a trap to lure the gulible and unwary.
Personally I think there is something in it, although not quite sure what. I have utmost respect for our ancestors beliefs and rituals!

the story goes...any who hears the the banshee wail will have a death in the family....don't pick up ANY comb, as it could be disguised....if you hear her don't mock her.....there are a few more 'rules' but i cant remember them.....my grand parents told them 40 years ago....i 'really' believed in the banshee back then, but even though I'm older i still respect the Legend,
the people in the west of Ireland still tell stories about hearing her, and then someones death, maybe its down to belief, i don't know, but i hope i never have to listen to the Banshee's wail.....
Do you beleive in the Banshee?
No, but I believe in Father Christmas and the Tooth Fairy!!!!!!!!! Why do people think that fairy stories are real?
Do you beleive in the Banshee?
the concept,yes...basically a demon of misfortune giving forwarning
Do you beleive in the Banshee?
Fancy dress for a banshee!
What will the Americans come up with next!
I totally refuse to believe in that one!
If you have to invent a transport (real banshees just appear wherever they want) why not go the whole hog and give her a hearse to drive?
Irish ones are NEVER looking for combs either or cry for it - totally below them. They are usually rather disheveled and not frivolous at all. Older women in grey, they are normally seen washing at the gwee (inlet, ford) or river and they are keening (singing a sad song about the dead) if they make any noise at all. The wailing is only done when they want to stay invisible. ( I myself think in that case they commission a screech-owl, though)
