==============
===================
The Baobhan Sith,
pronounced baa’van see, also also known as the White Women of the
Scottish Highlands.
The Baobhan Sith is most often depicted as a beautiful young woman,
They are believed to be a type of fairy, though they share simalarity's to Succubus and Vampier's
They can be found lurking in the Highlands, waiting to seduce young travelers and drink their blood.
=====================
Thought to be fairies. though some believe them to be a sub spices of Succubus or a type of lesser vampire... are a particularly dangerous type of vampire-spirits from the
folklore of the Scottish Highlands like
the Leanan SÃdhes, the Boabhan Siths are considered female but are
usually temptresses who use their beauty to lure men into dance before
brutally killing themThere mane concern is feeding - they will luring young hunters in by inviting them to dance until the hunter's are too tired too fight back or overpower the Baobahn Sith.
They would then feed on their helpless victims, draining them dry of blood.
===
The baobhan sith most often appears as a beautiful young woman wearing a long green dress..
She has deer hooves insted of normal human feet..
The long dress is used to conceals her hooveed legs ..
Green Dress...
===============
Like vampires, she drinks the blood of human victims and will leave before dawn..
She can also transform according to some legends she may take the form of a hooded crow or raven. in other versions she will transform into a wolf..
There are numerous stories about the baobhan sith with a general theme of hunters being attacked in the wilderness at night.
================
One famous legend state's that there were four men who went hunting and took shelter for the night in an old cabin.
One of the men supplied vocal music while the others began dancing.
The men wished there were woman present to dance with, and soon after that four women entered the hut.
Three of them danced while the fourth sat beside as the vocalist.
He then noticed drops of blood falling from his companions and fled from the hut, taking refuge among the horses. His blood thusty guests chased him but were unable to catch him, and when daylight came the woman all disappeared.
Later the man went back inside and found all three of his friends dead and completely drained of blood.
The baobhan sith was unable to catch the fourth man because liker other fairy's she has a weakness to iron., (iron being a traditional fairy vulnerability.)
==============
In a similar tale one of the men noticed that the women had deer hooves instead of feet and fled from them. He returned the next morning to find that the other hunters had their "throats cut and chests laid open".
==============
In a third story the hunters took refuge in a cave.
Each of the men said he wished his own sweetheart were there that night, but one of them, named Macphee, who was accompanied by his black dog, said he preferred his wife to remain at home.
At that moment a group of young women entered the cave, and the men who had wished for their sweethearts were killed. Macphee was protected by his dog who drove the women from the cave.
One recurring motif in these stories is that the baobhan sith appear almost immediately after the hunters express their desire for female companionship.
This is connected with a traditional Scottish belief that if one were to make a wish at night without also invoking God's protection, then that wish would be granted in some terrible manner..

Gonna have another post up soon Happy Early Valentines Day! :)
