    The minute she mentions priest and spirit the white noise stopped. That means there are spirits present. She is a wonderful woman. Thank you for sharing

    I heard a banshee around two years ago in the field next to my house (I'm in West Clare).
    I was just outside my back door one night, cleaning a pair of boots, when I heard her. The sound made my skin crawl. I got so scared I ran into the house, locked the door and didn't venture out again until the following morning. It really gave me a fright. I get goosebumps just thinking about it.

    My grandfather was Irish, worked in the coal mines in the early 90's, was 6 feet tall and not one to scare easily. He always reminisced about the encounter he had with a black shadowy female in the fields whose scream gave him goosebumps to that very day. Its been over 25 years since he passed away, but I always found the tale to be both captivating & terrifying.

    I didn’t believe in these until my then 8 year old son came downstairs one day and said “ Mum, mum, I heard a woman screaming. She was screaming all night. Didn’t you hear her?” I hadn’t. Didn’t think of a banshee until Literally 5 minutes later I got a call from my brother who said ‘Miriam ,the doctors have said there’s nothing more that can be done for mum and we should come and say our goodbyes’. Mum had a long term condition and had been in and out of hospital all my life so we didn’t know it was that serious this time. Two weeks after she passed my son came out of school and said he saw my mum. I was sceptical and asked if she was scary etc - he looked at me matter of factly and said ‘no, she was just standing in the corner of the canteen smiling at me’ what he didn’t know was that she’d often told me her favourite part of our childhood had been volunteering one morning a week in the canteen. My son is on the autism spectrum and I wonder if that has heightened his senses.

    Love these stories. So happy to find this. I live in a special place in Montana where the veil must be thin and it turns out we live very close to a ley line. I have nature spirits , as I call them , in my house and in my yard. I accidentally disturbed a fairy highway once. I felt the anger and saw a flash of red. I apologized and left something behind and tried to undo what I did. That was a year ago. So hopefully the fairy isn't angry! I have also seen little people 2 feet tall with pointy red hats. That was a long time ago. They live here in this valley I call home. Or here in another dimension. I have mostly Irish in me but I am also English and Scottish amongst some other northern European Scandinavian blood. A european mutt like many of us here in Montana. These stories help me not feel so crazy !

      Present them with offerings of food and drink. They usually only like foods from that area they live in, not rice for example. They love a bit of alcohol now and then, red or white wine is a good choice. Be generous and they'll appreciate it.

    A few years ago for a few nights in a row I couldn’t sleep - just could not sleep at all. Tossing and turning trying to sleep and couldn’t. Going to school so so tired. I’d go out to the bathroom at night and run back to bed because I felt someone was watching me. Then on about night 5 of this at about 4am I heard a scream. The most chilling, scariest, loudest scream I ever heard in my life. The scream is indescribable , it’s bone piercing, it’s crazy but I felt I could watch the scream travel to me. I know it makes no sense but her scream is just so indescribable, just terrifying I froze on the spot scared to move. And then I slept. I remember saying it to my family the next morning no one else heard it- said it must be a dream. Then in the afternoon we found out our cousin was dead - suicide

    Banshees or Beansidhe. Back in 1987 or 1988 I was walking down the road at night with two Mikes....Mike Hamlin and Mike Reed. We hadn't gone too far down the road when up at the top of the trees we heard this blood curdling cry. It warbled in a owl-like way for a few seconds and then morphed into a female voice screaming "MIKE!" I stood there in amazement, but when I turned around both Mikes were gone! I was buzzing with excitement but realized I was alone in the dark on the side of Doyal rd....so I finally ran back to the house. When I got there both mikes were pacing around the front yard saying "What the fuck was that?" We all agreed it had to be a Banshee. But they say if a Banshee calls your name you will die soon. Well I'm happy to report both Mikes are still alive and well today. So what did it mean? One Mike was threatened by a fellow student who got him alone and said something creepy like "I have a gun under my seat." and "Would anyone miss you if you just never came home?" Which is creepy...but he didn't do anything. So I'm not sure if Mike was in danger or not? But maybe it was a warning? The other Mike would jump on the hood of a friends moving car (she didn't know) and when she put on the breaks he went surfing face first in the gravel. He came pretty close to death that night...but still lived. So maybe the Banshee doesn't always warn of certain death? After these incidents I had gone alone in my grandma's forest at night and cast a magick circle. After I got the circle of protection up I sat and stared into the candle light. Right as I began to break the circle at the end of the ritual....a singing/ crying female voice started singing in a language that I didn't understand. I was so terrified by the sound that I could barely move. And I noticed that my faithful dog (who always stayed close) had refused to follow me into the woods this time. After this singing/ crying had stopped I quickly picked up my ritual items and headed out of the woods. There at the corner of the woods was my dog "Bear" sitting patiently for me to leave the woods. I felt so much better to see him and get close to him. But as I approached he began to cry and back away from me. I noticed he was looking above my head. I looked up and seen nothing. Could the dog see something I couldn't? Needless to say I ran home at this point. It wasn't long after this incident my uncle Tivis died in Tennessee.
