Ghost. Ireland

One of the encounters with the Banshee is described in the book "Real Irish Ghost stories", published in 1900-ies. It happened in the heart of cork city.

"My mother, being still a young girl who once stood near the window in the village of Blackrock, near Cork. And suddenly she saw a white figure standing on the bridge. The figure waved a hand toward the house my mother and then my mother heard from the other side with a loud sorrowful cry and wail.

It lasted only a few seconds, and then the figure disappeared. The next morning my grandfather went to cork on the bridge, slipped and fell, hitting his head and died without regaining consciousness.

Shortly thereafter, in March 1900, my mother was lying in bed, ill, and beside her was a nurse that came to check on her and me. We straightened the bed mom, when I heard the most unusual cry, which seemed to go everywhere, including from the walls and from under the bed. We started to look around but found nothing. While my mother is like nothing strange is not heard.

My sister was on the first floor with my father and this strange cry heard my sister, but the father did not hear. My sister thought her son crying, she ran to his room upstairs and checked, but he normally slept. And then it turned out that this cry was heard even in the next house and then the neighbor asked us, "did You hear that? This Banshee. Mrs. R. (my mother) is soon going to die."

History is silent, whether it died after that the girl's mother-her storytelling, but most likely it came out.
