[[File:Banshee.jpg|thumb|Bunworth Banshee, Fairy Legends and Traditions of the South of Ireland by Thomas Crofton Croker, 1825]] In [[Celtic mythology]], a '''Banshee''' is a female [[spirit]], who usually announces that a person from the family will die soon. The word is from ''bean sí'', which literally means woman from the hills. An older spelling is ''bean sidhe''. ''Bean sith,'' and bean-nighe are variants.
