[00:23.25]The Banshee
[00:27.38]爱尔兰女妖
[00:40.77]So then my great grandpa
[00:42.60]would feel the coldness of ghosts
[00:45.07]and would hear the banshee's wail 1,
[00:48.04]and my Aunt Mary recalled 2 him saying that
[00:51.19]the banshee's wail is the worst.
[00:54.77]Then the wailing 3 and the touch of the ghosts
[00:58.18]would pass on and his horse would move again.
[01:02.51]That was all my aunt Mary could remember.
[01:07.58]Now since my grandpa had seen
[01:09.68]and heard the banshees,
[01:11.57]I'm beginning to think
[01:13.08]we may have a banshee in our family.
[01:16.47]But not just because of my great grandpa,
[01:20.05]but because of my mom as well.
[01:24.26]When my mom was nine,
[01:26.02]she woke up in the middle of the night
[01:28.08]to look outside the window into the backyard.
[01:31.42]Glittering in the moonlight,
[01:33.58]she saw a woman weeping.
[01:36.50]My mom could hear her cries
[01:38.40]and said they were more like the wind
[01:41.32](she told me this before I read
[01:43.49]that most banshees cries are more like the wind).
[01:48.46]She also said that the woman
[01:50.28]was floating above their swimming pool
[01:52.78]and her appearance was unexplainable.
[01:57.71]My mom claimed that this woman looked young,
[02:01.40]but seemed as if she had lived for many years
[02:04.85]and was an old spirit.
[02:07.54]She also said that the woman had fair flowing hair.
[02:12.96]After a while of staring,
[02:14.92]my mom just lay her head back down on the pillow
[02:18.33]and drifted 4 off to sleep.
[02:22.50]Then I think one or two weeks later,
[02:25.40]my mom's grandparents died - in the same week.
[02:30.29]Coincidence?
[02:32.07]I wonder if I'm going to see one.
