banshie
A banshee, also spelled as banshie, in Irish mythology, is a female spirit believed to wail outside a house as a warning sign that a family member is about to die. These spirits supposedly have supernatural powers and can often be presented as a woman washing bloody clothes or as a frightening old hag. In some traditions, the banshee is considered a death omen, while in others, it is seen as a protective spirit.
