	Irish Fairies \| Banshee
		Whatever her origins, the banshee chiefly appears in one of three guises: a young woman, a stately matron or a raddled old hag.
		In Kerry, the keen is experienced as a "low, pleasant singing"; in Tyrone as "the sound of two boards being struck together"; and on Rathlin Island as "a thin, screeching sound somewhere between the wail of a woman and the moan of an owl".
		The banshee may also appear in a variety of other forms, such as that of a hooded crow, stoat, hare and weasel - animals associated in Ireland with witchcraft.

	Banshee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Banshee (IPA: [ˈbænʃiː]) is a creature in Irish mythology and known as Bean Nighe in Scottish mythology, the word being derived from the Old Irish ben síde, modern Irish bean sídhe or bean sí, "fairy woman" (bean, woman, and sidhe, being the tuiseal ginideach or possessive case of "fairy").
		The sídh are derived from pre-Christian Gaelic deities.
		Banshees are frequently dressed in white and often have long, fair hair which they brush with a silver comb, a detail scholar Patricia Lysaght attributes to confusion with local mermaid myths.

		The banshee, from ban (bean), a woman, and shee (sidhe, a fairie), is an attendant fairy that follows the old families, and none but them, and wails before a death.

		The gaelic terms used most frequently to describe the banshee are the "bean-si" (a female dweller of a sidhe, or fairy mound), the "bean chaointe" (a female keener, a term found in east Munster and Connaught) and the "badhb" (referring to a more dangerous, frightening bogey).
		The banshee is described as a wee woman with long white, blond or even auburn hair who appears in the vicinity of the birthplace of the soon to be deceased.
		The inaccurate association with crows is probably due to confusion of the banshee with the primitive Celtic goddess Badb, the goddess of war who appeared frequently in the form of a crow.

	Banshee, Irish household spirit
