The Banshee

BBC Radio 4

'Twas the Banshee's lonely wailing -
Well I knew the voice of death On the night-wind slowly sailing
O'er the bleak and gloomy heath.
(19TH-CENTURY TRANSLATION
OF AN IRISH KEEN)
A celebration using-traditional charms or superstitions, 19th-century eye-witness accounts, and archive recordings to portray the many facets of the White Lady of Sorrow. Reader Pat Brannigan Compiled and produced by DAVID BYERS
