- Jack o the Lantern -:
This is a fairy that is seen at night moving around in many places. He can be seen from far off because what is seen is a red light like a ball of fire.
Banshee -:
A crying heard along a glen or stream when the night is falling or at midnight. It follows some families. When that crying is heard there is sure to be a death in some house in the neighbourhood where the crying is heard.
