The Banshee and the Wild Hunt
Why are Banshees immune to the Wild Hunt?
''Banshee howl and shriek, and if you hear their cry, you can know you’ll join the ranks of the dead that night."
Old gossips claim Banshees are the spirits of women stuck between life and death due to traumatic experiences. Their wails and howls are considered ill omens of imminent, inevitable death, though they are said not to attack the living themselves. Most often they appear in the form of pale, tear-streaked women with shriveled faces and wrinkled, corpse-like bodies.
           According to this text the a Banshee like Lyidia, Lenora or Meredith are immune to the Ghost Riders because their souls are trapped between life and death.
Lydia became a Banshee after Peter bit her, she basically died, she became a Banshee, but was week at the time. (Thar would explain Alison’s vision of Lydia in the hospital i Season 1 episode 12.)  When Lydia was near death in season 3A (When the Darach tried to kill her.) she gained more even power and screamed. Also, Allison's death, Valack experiment's and the Dread Doctors made her even stronger.

Lorraine Martin, Lydia's grandmother, became a Banshee when the love of her life drowned. Yes, she had a hunch that something is going to happen to her lover but it is only after she died that she did some of her real Banshee predictions, like Brunski hurting Ariel (Lydia)
Meredith, I believe (don't really recall), lost her parents and Lorraine Martin did some experiments on her which made her powerful and turned her into a Banshee.
Lenora, lost her son and that made her a Banshee without her knowing, that was why the Ghost Riders didn't take her. After another traumatic experience, the Ghost Riders taking everyone away and her son returning as an illusion, she gained more power. That was the moment she gained her scream and space-time manipulation.
What if a big part of their soul died, but their body remained strong and their soul returned to them, it would make sense. Lydia was full of herself and basically a bitch, after the Peter incident she became open to people and less of a bitch, Meredith was fragile but after the Lorraine-experiment incident she lost it even more and became fully unsocial and broken, but on a higher plane she was superior. Lenora was delusional and disconnected when her son died and she completely lost it when she saw the Ghost Riders take everybody, but she created an illusion to aid her mental health. 
Tumblr media
           In the Wild Hunt Ghost Riders take people from the "life-realm" to the "death-realm". According to the legends the Ghost Riders are accompanied by Hellhounds that help them find the lost souls. As we know from season 5 the Banshee has a special connection to the Hellhound, as they are both connected to death they are drawn to each other.
The Banshee and the Hellhound have the ability to predict death and other disasters. Banshees get more visions regarding the closer future. Lydia said, in season 5, to Aiden (Valack), that they are coming for them  all. By that she meant the Dread Doctors.
The Hellhound gets visions of the distant future. As for Parrish, he had a recurring dream of carrying corpses to the Nemeton. Parrish said that in the dream he saw them all. All of Beacon Hills that is going to be taken by the Wild Hunt, just like Cannon.
The Hellhound serves as a tool to the Wild hunt as the Banshee serves as the warning before the storm (literally) and the connection between the realm of life and death.
Mountain Ahs
           The Banshee is fully immune to the effects of the Mountain Ash. But the Ghost Riders are not, they are stopped by it, just like the Oni, they have to break the barrier. But that's why the Ghost Riders have Hellhounds. The Hellhounds can burn Mountain ash by just walking through making it easier for the Riders to come to their target. Just like in real life hunting, hunters send their dogs to the fox den to lure them out and so they get to hunt it down.
           To conclude, the Banshees are immune to the Wild Hunt because their soul is trapped between life and death. They are like the Ghost Riders and the Hellhound, in between the two realms, but unlike the Riders, the Banshee and Hellhound can remain in the life realm.
Also somewhere I saw a passage of a Norse mythology text that stated that Odin's wife was a Banshee. (Odin was the main god of the Norse mythology, equivalent to Zeus) And Odin is believed to be the King of the Hunt and that he commanded the Ghost Riders, that's why the Wild Hunt is also called Odin's Hunt and he is the reason why the Ghost Riders ride the lightning. But sadly I couldn't find the text.

Scott McCall being a self righteous hypocrite and blaming other people for his own failures, incompetence and stupidity is the main reason so many fans and viewers never buyed the whole 'true alpha' plot twist. Me and my friends did a Teen Wolf rewatch recently, and while at the beginning at least 3 of them were crazy about Scott, by the end of 6b they all changed their mind about him and now Scott became their least favorite character among the likes of Gerard, Kate and Deucalion.
I stiiill haven’t seen season 6. I am hoping for an improvement; season 5 was so crappy I stopped watching the show back then and waited until now, rewatching the whole show because I loved so much about it that I did want to see how it ends.
You’re super not making me hopeful for seaosn 6 there! xD
But you are forgetting the worst! Victoria Argent. Honestely, I hated that bitch even more than Kate and Gerard.
