- Once upon a time a man was out late. He saw a banshee with long hair and she was combing it with a silver comb. He took it from her and brought it home and every night she would come and she crying for the comb. The day the man told the priest the whole story , the priest told him to put the comb out under the door when she would come again. He put it out to her and she never came again.
