   The Banshee always follows any people whose name begins with Mac or O. My mother's name was O'Neill before she was married and the Banshee always cries before any of the family dies. When my father died, my uncle who is staying in Dublin heard the Banshee crying outside the shop-door. One night when a girl from Rath-connell was coming home from visiting her sister, she heard the Banshee in Glennon's bog. The dog she had with her chased it. It ran out of the bog and up to the house of a women who was sick. The sick women died next day.
