1) Banshees are traditionally female

2) There are already 2 Banshees in the show (Yeah there are many werewolves on the show too but what Banshees can do right now is only have Death premonition. So there isn't really a need for 3 death alarm to be in town)

I would think that Deputy Parish would be more likely a supernatural creature (some animal shapeshifter like the rest) that belongs to the Irish or Scottish Mythology, whichever Banshee came from since it has been stated that Season 4 would be Lydia-centric.

Tradition doesn't mean anything to Jeff. Honestly, I thought Meredith was the red herring and that Oliver was going to be the Banshee, because he talked about 'everything echoing eventually' and while we were supposed to think that was about the building, apparently hammering through a concrete wall in the basement didn't echo enough to draw an orderlies attention when the only access to said basement was a locked door or through the solitary confinement area.

On point two....you don't think it would be reasonable to have an experienced banshee to help these two girls learn to control these powers? If I were Lydia I wouldn't trust the 'crazy girl' to train me in the whole banshee thing. And Meredith does seem a little...off, in other respects than just the banshee thing.
