Her exceptional shortness often goes alongside the description of her as an old woman, though it may also be intended to emphasize her state as a fairy creature.”

A beautiful woman with silver-white hair wearing a long shimmering silver dress, carrying or using a silver comb.Aside from being the most delicious brand of crisps out there (don’t fight us on this), Tayto also happens to originate in the Emerald Isle. If you’re going to commit to this costume, this is a real opportunity to get creative with one of the best Irish Halloween costume ideas we can think of. Stories have been passed down through generations of Irish families with their personal experiences and meetings with the Banshee and this family was no different.

Originally it was said that the Banshee only keened for the families; O’Grady, O’Neill, O’Brien, O’Connor, and Kavanagh. However, there are stories from various other families and that she particularly favorites those with an ‘O’ or a ‘Mc’ in the surname such as O’Brien or McNeill for example. A personal account of the BansheeIn Ireland, the Banshee does not bring or cause death. The ghost warns loved ones that death is near, giving the family a chance to prepare. Some myths say she acts as an escort to ensure that their loved one passes safely to the other side. Legends of the Irish Banshee Another complexity Ní Mhaoldomhnaigh faced was distinguishing the looks of Pádraic and Colm. “They’re living on this tiny island, so there are a lot of similarities in what they wear,” she said. “It’s really when they put on the outer layers that they become different.” One of the most distinct pieces of outerwear Ní Mhaoldomhnaigh created was worn by Gleeson: a long overcoat made of wool and lined with linen, paired with a substantial hat. The idea was to make the coat lightweight enough so that it could flap and have movement on a windy beach or boreen — an image Ní Mhaoldomhnaigh called, “Byron-esque.” In this bundle are four carefully restored weapons, salvaged from the ash and ruin of a gothic ghost story.
