A banshee is a mythical and legendary creature in Irish and Celtic folklore.
It is typically depicted as a female spirit or fairy who is associated with death and foretells impending doom, particularly the death of a family member.
The banshee is known for her eerie and mournful wailing or screaming, which is said to be a warning or an expression of grief. Hearing the cry of a banshee is believed to be an omen of death.
The concept of the banshee has been a part of Irish folklore for centuries and continues to be a prominent figure in Irish mythology.
