What is a banshee?
A banshee is sometimes described as a woman, beautiful, well dressed. She comes front of the house were there's a dying personn, and she screams, and cries. Before the morning the personn is dead. When a bird have a weird behavior (knocking on the windows, enter in the house...) that can be a kind of banshee too. The banshee is a magical sign, an omen of death to come.

Some other legends consider tha banshee as a painful spirit, attached to a noble familly of Ireland. THis spirit suffered because of an ancestor of the familly, and then this spirit is their curse.

What are the signs?
Or she cries, if she comes as a woman. The banshee can manifest herself by others ways. To feel extremely hot without reason, and shiver just after, can be a sign of the banshee. If it's a bird, his behavior is very weird. Is not good too of course to see a dead bird, or if the bird comes to die into the house.

Is there something against them?
Nothing. There are omen. Take off the omen, you will not take off what will happen by all the way. They are not especially bad or dangerous, they are just messengers.
