Describe sighting in detail:
I'm not sure if you guys do anything paranormal outside of the USA especially not BigFoot related but I have quite an experience here in Ireland with what I believe to be a Banshee. They are a typical folk monster here and I personally thought them to be legends and old stories but last Tuesday I had an encounter that can only be explained by that.
If you guys don't know what a Banshee is, to roughly explain it they are a creature/spirit that is assigned to families. Some people view them as good things some as bad. They are said to be heard crying/screaming when someone in your family is about to die as a form of mourning.
I live in a small farmhouse in a pretty rural area of Ireland, which isn't saying much as most of Ireland is rural anyway. I heard what sounded like at first the screaming sound that cats make when they have a stand off. But it slowly started to transform into a contestant ringing scream coming from the distance. It was coming from a field next to me which is locally nick-named "the far bog" as it is just that. A bog/marsh that is far away from anything in particular.
I panicked and thought that someone had gotten stuck in the bog which is actually a common way of death here sadly, so I called the Guards (The Irish Police) and ran outside to try and find her. When I got to the bog I saw a woman standing upright on a stone wall that borders the bog. She had her head tilted upwards and was screaming so loudly that it actually caused some pain. She appeared to be wearing a flowing dress of some sort. This freaked me out as I presumed it was some drugged up/drunk person and I ran back inside and waited for the guards to come.
A single patrol car came up a few minutes later but the screaming had stopped by then. I explained to them exactly what had happened and they were actually the first to mention the possibility that it was a Banshee. They mentioned that this sort of call happens every few years. They officially wrote it down as a drunk and disorderly person on private property who left but then told me to call all of my immediate family to make sure everything is ok, as they both believed it was a Banshee. I did just that and sadly found out that my Mother had passed away in her sleep that night. The funeral was a few days ago and since then I have been transfixed by the story of the Banshee and have looked up as much information as I can. In the progress I came across your paranormal site. I thought that you guys might be at least slightly interested in my story. You can email me at any time if you ever want any more information.
Thanks
