Information I have on this piece is ...

G. P. Jelliss invented a game called 'Twenty-First Century Chess' in 1991. In this game there is a piece that moves as a Bishop and Nightrider. Also in this game is a piece that moves as Rook and Nightrider.

See 'Variant Chess 6' April-June 1991, page 70. (This is a different game from Karl Munzlinger's game of the same name).

Unsure when he first invented the actual name 'Banshee', but the piece is there in his game. Dang it, now I'll have to research when he first used the name!! Link to how you can see 'Variant Chess 6' and other chess publications here ..

edit>>> See this link here, by George Jelliss in 2002, 'Variant Chess Games' where the game is described and the name 'Banshee' is used (and 'Raven' for Rook + Nightrider) for his 1991 game. Look under 'T' for 'Twenty-first Century Chess'.
