nature_spirit earth Scottish folklore single tradition · 1
The Green Lady is a being from Scottish folklore, sometimes described as a woman with goat's legs who was given a "fairy" nature or cursed with immortality. She might be benign, watching over houses and looking after the weak mind, or appear as a vengeful ghost. In some tales she was murdered in a green dress, and then stuffed unceremoniously up the chimney by a servant.
