- Two men were returning from a visit one night when they saw a Banshee sitting on a wall combing her hair. The Banshee disappeared when they came near but she left her comb on the wall. One of the men took her comb. In the middle of the night the banshee came to the window + asked the man for her comb. The man handed out the comb on a spade. The banshee thinking the spade was the man’s hand broke it in two.
