In Irish folklore, the Banshee was known as a supreme fairie. And if you hear her loud scream, that meant
you were going to die. Or if she came to you personally and screamed that also mean you or a member of the family was
going to die. It was said that the Banshee only goes after people that are pure Irish, and those that are gifted
in music (but only pure Irish folk). They say that the Banshee could also take human form and would go to people's houses
to bring news of death to someone who lives there. Some people believe that if you hear her then it could be a warning about
something else other than death. While others say that only Irish folk can hear her screams, but if someone of non or
mix Irish blood heard the screams. Then it meant nothing.
