- Banshee (bean Sidhe)The tailor used to be making clothes for the Donore people and the banshee used to come in and cry when any of them would be going to die
The tailor said if she came in this time he'd shut the door and make her talk (it seems they were expecting a death) She did come. He shut the doors and spoke to her but she wouldn't answer. He then started to look at her. She stuck her fingers in his eyes and went out. In about ten minutes he lost his sight.The banshees used to cry about it after but they never went in after that.
