The ABC of Fantasy Creatures: B is for Banshee

A banshee is a female spirit—appearing in various forms, such as that of a young, middle-aged or old woman—who is screaming or wailing. She is often shown wearing a grey cloak and having long pale hair and a pale complexion. Her eyes are often red from continuous weeping but at other times, her face is shrouded. 

Banshees are not always seen. But even just hearing the sound of her crying is a bad omen, as it signals the forthcoming death of the person or a member of their family.

This mythological creature derives from Irish folklore.
