banshee

people are actually getting the definition of a banshee very wrong. let me quote from john allan's "mysteries".

"banshees are really guardian spirits rather than harbingers of doom, but their cry always spell disaster."

so a banshee, or a bansidhe is not the cause of death of someone, but a warning cry, if you will.

my nan used to say i'm as loud as a banshee :/
