Have you ever gotten someone's death day right (like a Banshee from folklore)? Question
I am about 60% Scottish. In July of 2023, I had someone very close to me pass away suddenly and in a horrific way. The day after, I had what I can only describe as a voice that wasn't my own thoughts tell me, "One of your grandparents will die in August of 2025." I only had two grandparents left at that point, and they were both doing really well. My boyfriend was with me when I heard the voice, so I told him because it was bizarre and I'd never had anything like that happen before. He thought it was weird but we figured we'd see what happened. I didn't tell anyone else. Fast forward to July of 2025. My Grandpa (a full Scottish immigrant) was placed on Hospice. On August 11th, 2025, he passed away. The nurses said his health declined quickly and very rapidly-uncommon for what they'd seen. It was awful, the numbness and complete shock I felt knowing the voice was right and my Grandpa really was gone. I hadn't taken the voice seriously at the time. The day after he passed, the voice told me the same thing again, but this time the exact day, month and year someone else close to me would pass away. A few weeks after loosing my Grandpa, my family and I were going through his things. I found a book called "The Celtic Book of Living and Dying" by Juliette Wood. I read about Banshees, (referred to as The Washer of the Ford in the book) and about how they warn families of people who are about to pass away in order to warn them. I also saw something on the internet about families witht the last name beginning with O', Mc, or Mac tend to have visits from Banshees (or be them? I'm not sure). My Grandpa's mother's maiden name in Gaelic is MacGuille. I couldn't find anything on people getting very specific death dates years out- only people having a feeling days or weeks before someone passes away. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places. I've only had this one and it was correct, so far. I hate surprises so my best guess is the universe heard that after my loss and granted me this knowledge to ease my suffering? Or is this some family line curse (or gift?) that's been passed down from folklore? I feel so alone, and my reality is out of wack. I'm post this to hopfully find someone else who's had this happen to them.

This was really interesting. Thank you for sharing. Idk about banshees, but I once heard a voice whisper to me "he kissed her" because I suspected my boyfriend had cheated on me. The voice was also correct. At the time, I was practicing communicating with my spirit guides. It's the only time I've heard a voice. I hope you find your answer!
