Description
In Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Slavic and other folklore traditions - a female ghost in white clothes. It is often considered a harbinger of death or its personification. Sometimes, on the contrary, its appearance warns of danger and prevents trouble.
Sometimes her appearance is tied to a specific legend (often associated with the loss or betrayal of a woman by her husband, lover or fiance).
