"banshees are irish folklore and are supposed to scream you apart,bleed your eyes or bleed your ears till you have no blood what so ever."
I've never heard such a thing. The Banshee is usually seen as an omen and messenger of death. NOT a death dealer.
Originally her cries were reserved for five major Irish families but with intermarriage the list has grown.
She is usually seen wearing a worn grey or white hooded cloak or grave robe, her hair frequently being long and light in color.
Although she is not always seen, her cries can always be heard at night when someone is about to die.
She is said to also be able to transform into animals associated with witchcraft such as a crow, hare and weasel.
If several of them appeared at once it meant that someone great or holy was to die.
Hearing the eerie wales of this mythical creature was never very good news. But it has never been know to kill itself.
