The Banshee Appears

Description

American R. Prowse illustrated this drawing of the banshee in 1862. Although it is unclear where this drawing appeared, it shows the changing figure of the banshee. She is humanoid in appearance, but is extremely frightening. This images focuses primarily on the reactions of the men rather than on the banshee, herself. It is not similar to the Irish tales surrounding the banshee at all.
