Irish bainsidhes are old (dead? dying? crazy? reclusive?) members of the family who got the news early that someone is dead and are grieving about it loudly. (In this case, early means before the poor sod has actually died ) Sometimes they can come up from their sobs long enough to give a clue who the recently departed might be.
