Could a banshee's wails be heard in the darkened streets of Toronto?

The banshees or the Bean Sidhe (woman of the hills) find their place of honor in Irish folklore. She is looked upon as an omen of forthcoming death to an Irish family. She is often heard late at night as a cry or singing. The cry has been described as "a thin, screeching sound somewhere between the wail of a woman and the moan of an owl"* Although she is often heard rarely is she actually seen. When she is seen though she appears to take the form of either a young woman, a matron or an old woman, this going back to the Celtic goddess' appearing as the three stages of a woman's life, either as a young beautiful woman, a woman in full bloom of her life or motherhood, and the crone or old wise woman nearing the end of her life or life cycle.
