    (continued from previous page)
    Some people around this country that have seen the Banshee say she is a little woman dressed in white and that she carries a comb and is always combing her hair as she goes along. When some people would be dying she would go to the house awhile before they died and roar outside the window.
    The Banshee follows certain families.
