@TheThreeWeavers Good luck! I really hope it works out for you. xo

Indeed we do. We have several variations of the banshee, the most popular being a woman who appears to an unfortunate, weeping and washing her clothes in a burn. Both our folklore is very much entwined and much closer related to say that of England. Although it has died out for the best part and is unknown to the current generation, I hope to try and keep it alive. I'm studying to become an illustrator, writer and hope to become a part time bard :) here's hoping it might work.

@TheThreeWeavers. Thanks SO much for your comments. I'm very sorry to hear that the folklore hasn't survived in Scotland. What a crying shame. Scotland has/had some very similar traditions in terms of the Banshee. It's a pity that no one can talk about it now. :(

You've done your people a great service by recording this folklore. I myself have tried to scramble as much Scottish folklore as possible to myself, asking relatives in very remote areas if they know stories. Sadly it has already died out in the mainland along with the language. All there is left is some clues in obscure books and documentations. It breaks my heart to see a country's people so remote from their own culture. Let it never happen to Ireland! Never should it happen!

Im of irish decent, my family name is O'Neill. We have experienced the banshee on three separate occasions. Once when my uncle died a strong wind blew through the house with a very loud half moaning, half owl like sound. Again when my grandfather died, and just recently with my cousin passing. Yes I believe in the banshee, I have experienced it.

Not all families hear Banshee's certain families hear her more O'Neills, O'Briens, O;Connors and Kavanaghs

Interesting that Japanese word for death is " し" SHI and the color white is "しろ" or Shiro.
