Banshee's are demons from Irish folklore. If you've seen the Disney film "Darbey O'Gill and the Little People", you'll understand it. They say that a Banshee will scream when someone will die. The banshee will attack the one who doesn't hear the scream, for it will be the one to kill. I heard a banshee wale. It sounded like a blood-curdling scream mixed with a yelp of a dog. Unfortunately, the sound a banshee makes is the sound of the fallen one. So, scream makes female, yelp make dog. I come home and my female dog, named Daisy, had her neck mangled and broken. Banshees are devilish creatures, normally taking the form of a Priestess. Most sightings are confirmed as a green form by a large river, stream, or pond.

I read a load of BS here. The Banshee is not a demon. She is merely the announcer of death. She will not scream at anyone's face or kill anyone, but will be heard keening in the vicinity of the home of someone who is going to die in one of the five Irish families she is associated with (although by extension, it is believed she will cry over any Irish person's death). Stop watching horror movies or Tv series exploiting Irish culture and reducing it to meaningless brainless versions.

Well to see a banshee you have (and this is from irish mythology) you have to be of true gaelic blood and only certen family lines are haunted by the ban sidhe ( ban shee means woman of the shee ) ban shee are not evil they are in fact mourners who are sent by the sidhe ( shee) to give a cry of anguish and loss at the death of a person it is an honor to have a ban shhe cry for your death.. but to hear the cry of the ban shee means that death is iminent but the ban shee is in no way evil

Maybe it was a cat making the noise?

Just some constructive feed back, But from the information I've gathered a cat cannot make the noise a banshee can make, A banshee emits a high pitched very loud noise that can only been heard by those needing to hear it..It's suppose to carry some kind of spiritual message to those who can actually 'understand' a banshee [Or so I've been told] as for the death notice thing, I've heard this A LOT, So I'm going to naturally 'assume' that it MAY have some legitimacy to it...

I chose to not believe and that's my right. But until something like this is proven there is no reason to run around terrified thinking you are being stalked by banshees. And there is no reason to scare other people and feed their fears on banshees.
Several animals can make a banshee sounding scream and at night that can be scary. But just because you can hear something and not see it does not that its a demonic creature out to get you. There is usually a real explanation for it but nobody tries to find out what or why. They just stick with the sensational and it gets them the attention they desire.

You have not personally seen one but I have and it was by far the most terrifying thing I have EVER and hope to ever see in my entire life. It was skeletal and wearing a black silky night outfit of some sort with long grey hair and it was waving it's arms above it's head and running while also screaming. I was terrified. I just stopped and stared. I was frozen. Shortly after there was a death in my family. I have not seen one since and hope to never again, like I said. It was hideous and I can still feel the terror in me just like I did on that day about 17 years ago.

I'm talking with a girl who's been screamed at by banshees 3 or 4 times. I may have heard one once, anyone got any info on them that would be useful to her?

Take no notice of my daughter, I only do it when she wont clean her room.
It's probably randy cats or foxes gettin it on under her window.
