Excerpt from The BansheeIN a country, such is characterised by an arrestive and wildly beautiful scenery, it is not at all surprising to find something in the nature of a ghost harm'onising with the general atmos phore and surroundings, and that Something, apparently so natural to Ireland, is the Banshee.The name Banshee seems to be a Contraction of the Irish Bean Sidhe, which is interpreted by some writers on the subject A Woman of the F aire Race, whilst by various other-writers it is said to signify The Lady of Death, The Woman of Sorrow, The Spirit of the Air, and The Woman of the Barrow.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
