描述
The banshee, rooted in Irish folklore, is a female spirit or fairy associated with wailing screams that predict death, particularly for a family member. Her mournful cries, often described as a keening (a lament for the dead), served as a warning of impending doom. Legends trace the banshee back to a Gaelic tradition of women singing sorrowful songs at funerals, evolving into a supernatural being forever tied to the cries of grief.
