Is it a banshee or a ghost; It can't be both?

I am watching TV with my parents and they are advertising a show for St. Patty’s Day, search for the Banshee Ghost but I always thought there was a difference being that banshees announces the death of someone with their wailing but a ghost is the imprint of a something which has died. So am I way out there in thinking that the name of the show shows no understanding of the paranormal. The show if you are wondering is Destination Truth on OLN.

Answer #1

You are very right. A Banshee is an Irish faerie that warns of impending deaths, while a ghost is the spirit of a dead person. Totally different. Perhaps, the show is about a ghost that heard a Banshee cry before itheir death or something?

Answer #2

It can be both … while you’re right about the purpose of the banshee - to forewarn a death - a banshee is actually the spirit of a woman who died during childbirth or was m*rdered … a ghost.
