In Irish folklore, a bean sidhe (literally woman of fairyland) was not a welcome guest. When she was seen combing her hair or heard wailing beneath a window, it was considered a sign that a family member was about to die.
A banshee (/ËbÃ¦nÊiË/ BAN-shee, Modern Irish bean sÃ­, from Old Irish: ban sÃ­de, pronounced [bÊ²an ËÊiËÃ°Ê²e], woman of the fairy mound or fairy woman) is a female spirit in Irish mythology who heralds the death of a family member, usually by shrieking or keening.
