  2. There are a lot of stories tolt about the Banshee. She is supposed to be out when certain people die.
    She is seen eating an apple and combing her hair. If you ask her for a bit of the apple, you would die.
    A lot of people believe in the banshee. They say she is often heard when some people die. The sound is like the wind moaning.
