The Baobhan Sith (pronounced baa'-van shee) is a ghost-like, evil and dangerous vampire from the highlands of Scotland. Usually they are found in forests or natural settings. They were supposed to prey on unwary travelers in the glens and mountains.
They have also been called 'The White Women'.
The Baobhan Sith is described as a beautiful woman in a long green dress. It's also been said that they have deer hooves for feet, they hide under the long dresses. They can turn up in groups or alone, but always with the thought of drinking blood.
It's been said that they seduce young men with their beauty and invite them to dance with them, till the men are too exhausted to fight them and then they would drink their blood
A common tale is told of 4 young friends who set off on a hunting trip in the glens, benighted the men take refuge in an abandoned Shielding (small cottage).
Darkness falls quickly and the men build a fire in the hearth and set about entertaining themselves for the night. One of them is a talented singer, and sings as his companions begin to dance around the room.
One of the men wishes that they had the company of women and speaks as such. Seconds after he has spoken 4 women appear at the door and begin dancing with the three men.
Suddenly the atmosphere changes and the women become frenzied, imbued with supernatural strength they tear at the dancers and blood begins to spill around the room.
Terrified the young man who was supplying the music runs out of the door with one of the creatures at his heels. He takes refuge between the horses and this seems to create a barrier over which the creature can not cross. He spends a long and cold night between the horses, with the Boabhan Sith circling around waiting for an opportunity to pounce on him. At last dawn breaks and the creature disappears.
When he returns to the shielding a ghastly sight greets him. All his companions are dead, sprawled around the floor in agonizing positions completely drained of blood.
Traditionally supernatural creatures are afraid of iron, and taking refuge in the wild horses may have saved him because of the horse's iron shoes.
