The Banshee
Angebote / Angebote:
The banshee is a mysterious female spirit in Irish folklore, who heralds the death of a family member, usually by shrieking or keening. The screeching sound is described as somewhere between the wail of a woman and the moan of an owl, a low singing or piercing loud and able to break glass. The banshee appears as an old hag or beautiful lady, but may also appear in a variety of other forms, such as that of a crow, stoat, hare and weasel - animals associated in Ireland with witchcraft. The name Banshee seems to be a contraction of the Irish Bean Sidhe, which is interpreted by some writers on the subject as "A Woman of the Faire Race, " whilst by various other writers it is said to signify "The Lady of Death, " "The Woman of Sorrow, " "The Spirit of the Air, " or "The Woman of the Barrow."
Elliott O'Donnell did a thorough investigation on the banshee - partly as a professional ghost hunter (with a personal encounter) - and wrote this fascinating special of paranormal literature. Read more about O'Donnell in the Post Scriptum of The Banshee. Preview on vamzzz.com
