no but first petrified out of fear
and then freezes
and then awakes out of it

Indeed banshees come in many forms. Another One is of a fair maiden with pale or fair white skin and red hair. I think that a banshee can have a low pleasing or a high pretty singing wail or a screaming wail. Banshees are said to see/ predict death well I think their powers extend more to being able to communicate with deceased (if you are a medium this does not make you a banshee) and seeing the future in general. Sadly many characterize them as evil or already dead spirits and neither is true. I do believe of people with the qualities and powers as listed above just as I believe in ghosts. But this could al be a myth and it's all because good keeners were in high demand so they showed up to the funerals of the five most major families.

In some mythologies it is conciderd a curse and it is supposed to bring illness and or death to most or all of your family and in the same place, if you find the banshees lair and she finds you there, it is automatic death so that you do not expose her hiding place.

I was inclined to join the page just to edit this here, but seriously, you need to streamline the joining process - joining only by Facebook account etc. just serves to keep people away.

Anyway, a few corrections if someone wants to edit this posting: There is no dependable source for the piece about "fallen angels". "Bean-nighe" is not entirely interchangable with Bean-sidhe, which should be made clearer. Also Bean-sidhe are mostly described as old crones, very rarely as young maidens but never as middle aged matrons. The author or his sources most likely mix up various descriptions of the fates or slavic traditions of the "hag, mother and maiden" that became intermingled with more western traditions in the last decades.

Also to answer one question posted prior: The one whose death is allegedly announced by the Bean-sidhe wail does NOT hear it, only members of his family. Thus the wail itself was initially not considered to be deadly, although there are some more "folksy" interpretations that allege it can kill or drive one insane. Frankly this does not really fit the internal logic of the initial myth imo.

Me and a friend were planing a trip to go to Japan(ugh!!!) and then go to Ireland(YAY!!!) and I was actually wanting to see hear or at least learn more about the Banshee when we are there, but my friend is really scared of Banshees and I mean REALLY scared of them. when she told me I laughed sooo hard I almost peed in my pants!!! seriously!!! so I got online to show her how not-scary they really are. now she isnt that scared any more but still a little. Thanks for all the help BYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
