Alison, don't they have Mná Sí (plural of banshee recte Bean Sí)in Montana? It is said that the Bean Sí only caoins (keens) upon the impending demise of someone of a particular family. It has been said that even when such a family has emigrated, the Bean Sí has followed. Perhaps the most well-documented of a spirit following a particular family was that of the Cooneen Ghost. Now that WAS something to make one shiver !!!!! :-(( Roddy
