They are weeping angels. Look into the actual lore. They are not malevolent, just really fucking loud.

The loudness is what spooks me most probably. How are they like weeping angels?

there's not much to them really. basically if one comes to your house screaming then it's a sign someone in that house will die

Ugh yeah I always thought banshees were scary as hell. I read some story hear a while ago that spooped me hard
>anon calls his friend
>there was a loud screeching noise in the background
>managed to talk but the noise was annoying as hell
>every time he calls him the scream is even louder
>last time he called him he could make out that it wasn't a screeching noise but a woman's high pitched scream

Friend is probably a serial killer slowly upping his game.

its an old school scooby doo thing.

crazy homeless bitches who lived in some woods somewhere and had to scare people away so they could keep living there

Well that would be a problem, now wouldn't it?

I guess La Llorona is technically a Banshee.

tl;dr
>heard La Llorona as a kid when I lived on the Texas/Mexico border
>OR
>I heard some woman get murdered.

Spooky either way.

Predates Christianity and the notions of angels bro.

I'm interested in this as well. I've read somewhere that they supposedly weep for those about to die or mourn the deaths of great leaders/warriors or something.
Also, I wanted to know, is there any named banshee in myth? Or maybe a certain location where the banshee legend was first told? I'm trying to fit that in a story I'm writing, that's why I wanted to know if idk, "The Banshee of X Castle" was the first or something.

There's Aibel (Abigail?) who is sort of "Queen" of several other lesser Banshees.

Then there are actual Gaelic family names that have to do with "Family Banshees". And it is all thought to originate from one family in Ireland.

Then if you want to go further back, Morrigan is typically thought of as the true "Banshee Queen" or "Phantom Queen" and was inspiration behind A LOT of folklore having to do with females spirits. Valkyries included.

Not a frequent /x/ visitor so idk how the show is viewed here, but one of the ghost adventures halloween episodes they talk about hearing a banshee and later a woman's voice answers them in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night

Here's the episode:

Is there footage/audio of it in this video?

Here's your banshee. God that would be awful to hear in the woods.

I've never seen one but I have heard one outside my house several years back, the creepy thing is a lot of my neighbors also heard it. It was a female that kept screaming "oh my god my children, help me find my children" it was about 2am. No one saw a thing but the sound seemed to have came from all directions. I live in California in a Mexican neighborhood so a lot of my neighbors said it was la llorona

Cool video, but not really long enough of a cry to be thought of as a banshee. Definitely spooped some campers though. Definitely interested in more videos of possible banshee screams.

The banshee "cry" is actually the screech of the brown owl. - An Irishman

He's talking about a dr. who reference. Not "angels" in that regard.

And besides, the concept of angels themselves predate christianity by a long shot.
