The Ban-shee.
There is another kind of fairy known as the banshee and she weeps when certain families die. Any family who has an Irish name is supposed to have a banshee. She is often heard and seen by people coming home from wakes late at night. She cries loudly around the house when a person of the house is dead. She always appears dressed in white. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
