  1. The Banshee

    Share Share Post
    One day as I was going to a shop I saw a little woman dressed in white.
    She was combing her hair and she was sitting under a bush. I went to the shop and when I was coming home I loocked where I saw the woman and she was not there. I came home and told my mother I saw a little woman sitting under a bush and she told me it was the Banshee.
