   The “Banshee” is believed in by a good many in this district. I have heard (M P Murphy, New St Macroom (60)) that the banshee is heard when a member of the family of the Sullivan’s of Teernaspidogos, Inchageela dies. He also says that music is heard at the death of any member of the family of the Sweeney’s of Ballyvourney.
