No, Paul, they're different from the legends we see in the real world, but the definitions of the words are the same. The meanings of words are not changed on the show. They have never been changed before, not one word's definition has changed since. You are suggesting that Jeff and his entire writing staff either collectively don't know what the word "supernatural" means or have collectively decided that it is the only word in the entire lexicon of the English language that needs its definition changed. That sounds pretty friggin' silly to me.

The fact of the matter is, you don't know how banshees are defined. It is a big, gaping question mark in the show's canon -- but you'd rather make an assumption and call it canon. Even though the reason you insist on tearing apart everyone else's speculations is to avoid confusing "casual viewers" who come to this wiki. But, for all any of us knows, next week Deaton will call banshees supernatural and those casual viewers will come here and find a thirteen million page thread that consists entirely of you insisting that banshees are not.

"We don't know."

Learn to love that phrase.
