If you’re hearing a howl in the night, it could be the death knell for you or someone you know. This week, Nate and Leigh discuss the Banshee, a mysterious figure from Celtic folklore. While descriptions vary, one thing is consistent: a sorrowful and gut-wrenching wail that heralds death for any person that hears it. The hosts discuss whether they think she is an evil creature or a neutral entity that has been forced into a life of sorrow. You can also listen to Leigh talk about how she may be being haunted!
