- The bean sidhe is supposed to be a fairy woman with very long hair.
It is said that she sits on a wall and she combs her hair.
When the death of some people is approaching she is heard giving a weird cry a couple of nights before.
Some people say that they saw her and others say that they heard her.
She cries very loudly and can be heard very far away.
