    people told me definitely of having heard the banshee on that road before the death of any member of these families.
    The cóiste bodhar is also supposed to pass up and down the street of Balla when any of the old inhabitants are about to die. Four headless horses draw the coach. Nobody must look out or they will be sure to die.
