Banshee Folk Lore Wail Wind Windy
EDITORS COMMENTS
I Saw the Banshee Flying: A Haunting Image from Early 20th Century Folk Lore This evocative photograph, titled "I Saw the Banshee Flying," captures the haunting allure of an age-old legend that has long intrigued the human imagination. The image, taken in March 1912, is a testament to the enduring power of folk lore and the supernatural tales that have shaped our collective consciousness throughout history. The wind howls through the trees, their branches bending and swaying in the gale, as if in response to an unseen presence. The sky above is dark and foreboding, the clouds swirling ominously, adding to the sense of unease. And there, in the midst of this wild and untamed landscape, is the banshee, her long, flowing hair streaming behind her as she flies through the air, her wail piercing the wind. The banshee, a figure from Irish mythology, is said to be a female spirit who foretells death. Her wail, a mournful cry, is said to be heard when someone in a family is about to die. This photograph, taken over a century ago, seems to capture the very essence of this elusive and haunting creature, frozen in time and immortalized in this stunning image. The Estate of Florence Susan Har's "I Saw the Banshee Flying" is a captivating glimpse into the past, a reminder of the power of folklore and the enduring allure of the supernatural. This photograph is not only a beautiful work of art, but also a window into the rich and varied cultural traditions that have shaped our understanding of the world around us.
