What folklore does the Banshee belong to?

Cookie Bean, I am Scots irish. my grandmother would tell us all kinds of Irish and Scots folklore. I find it all fascinating.

There's a piece for prepared piano by composer Henry Cowell . It's called The Banshee. Cowell placed small objects between the strings of the piano and when he pressed the piano keys, instead of the usual piano sounds, he got eerie, strange, otherworldly tones that were supposed to be the sounds of the Irish Banshee ghost.

FASCINATING 🧐

very interesting. I've only heard of the ugly screamers. Glad there are nice banshees Aldo.

I admit that I didn't know this, but, again thanks for the Lifelines.

didn't realize this was Irish! should start looking more into some of my roots

My all time first learning was also from Darby O’Gill and the Little People. The Banshee

like the ones of Inisherin

I was always afraid of the green Banshee from the 1959 film, Darby O'Gill and the Little People

Anglicised from bean sídhe .

The most excellent movie Banshees of Inisherin helped me here.
