What is banshees meaning?

Banshees are a mythical creature from Irish folklore that is said to have a high-pitched wail or scream, which is often associated with impending death. They are also known as bean sidhe, which translates to "woman of the fairy mound." Banshees are believed to be a sign of misfortune or death for a family, as they are said to only appear to members of certain families, typically those with Gaelic or Celtic roots. Banshees are often depicted as female figures clad in flowing robes and with long, unkempt hair. They are also sometimes associated with ghosts or other supernatural entities, and are often portrayed as guardians or protectors of certain places or families. Despite their association with death, banshees are not necessarily malevolent beings, and many stories portray them as sympathetic or helpful towards humans.
