Bein Sidh Costumes

We've finally finished our Bein Sidh (pronounced "ban shee") costumes! The Bein Sidh, in ancient Celtic lore, were the heralds of death. They warned those who were about to die by wailing nearby. The wail was said to be so piercing that it could shatter glass. In certain cases, the Bein Sidh would be seen washing the garment or armor of the doomed person till blood ran from it. The Bein Sidh of "Othersight" share both the piercing wail and the fact that, wherever they go, death follows.
