The Kebble Banshee: A Rathlin Island Story

[@gaycha6589]

How lovely to see that the art of storytelling is still with us. Thank you, really enjoyed your delivery of the tale.

[@theramblingseanchai]

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked it. Another one is on the way after a bit of a hiatus, hopefully you'll stick around for a few more :)

I have heard the banshee...you describe her sound well... forlorn is also the sound I'd say..a cry so heartbreaking, more than sadness. It wasn't wailing or loud.. it sounded like a young woman .that's all I can say. My gran died the next day. But I can still recall the sound..

[@theramblingseanchai]

Wow that is very powerful, I'm sorry to hear about your Gran. But thank you for sharing your encounter with a Banshee, that must have been a very harrowing experience. I'm glad that you liked the video too, thank you so much for checking it out :)

Only seems like yesterday that you made me aware of this story! Excellent video fella!

[@theramblingseanchai]

Thank you so much!! I'm really looking forward to seeing your next projects :)

Thoroughly enjoyed this story and Mannan Mac Lir. Great vision exposing the beautiful scenery of Northern Ireland. Look forward to more.

Thank you so much for watching them! That's such lovely feedback, I'm really glad you enjoyed them :)

Nearly half an hour for a tale that's usually contained within 1 or 2 pages covering banshees in folktale books. Absolutely brilliant! Thank you! I always imagine a banshee to have these red, sore eyes like extreme hayfever from all being constantly wet and weepeing.

[@theramblingseanchai]

Aw thank you so so much! That is such lovely feedback, I'm so glad you enjoyed it :D yeah I think that the banshee is such an interesting part of Irish folklore and am always amazed by how far-reaching their influence has become in the wider world of myths and legends too. Researching them for this video has been an absolute joy! I love all the different ways people imagine them too, a scary old lady or a young woman who escorts her family to the Otherworld. I think that they're such a great example of how stories and legends change from place to place and with different people's perspectives. Thank you so much for checking out the video, I really appreciate it!

I truly love the lyrical writing style of this story, and the expressive and smooth narration is perfect too. Thank you for posting such a lovely video.

[@theramblingseanchai]

Thank you so much for such lovely feedback, I really appreciate the support! More is on the way, although it is taking a lot longer to make than previous videos due to new life commitments haha 😆

The Banshee is a Protector of Irish Family’s…..Okane,O’Conner ,Oking

[@theramblingseanchai]

I love the interpretation of the Banshee as a protector rather than a malevolent presence! I think it's such a lovely way to look at her :)

[@1STBUCKLEY]

Not according to the bedtime stories my Irish dad used to tell us kids 😨

My great great grandfather was born in Cork during An Gorta Mór, came to the states. I'd love to see the motherland..💚🤍🧡

[@Lotusisrael]

Is this a real legend or you wrote this?

[@theramblingseanchai]

It's adapted from an old Lady Wilde story but I altered it a bit to tie in more with the scenery around Rathlin Island :)

[@mollymcnaughton3133]

I'd live there with the coos and the sidhe..☘️✨💚🤍🧡
