a creature from Scottish folklore, usually described as a supernatural female spirit or water spirit, often appearing as a green-clad woman.
From Scottish Gaelic 'glaistig,' a water spirit or banshee-like creature in Highlands and Islands mythology. The exact origins are debated but relate to Gaelic supernatural traditions.
The glaistig appears in Scottish legends as both a helpful household spirit and a dangerous ghost—much like how many cultures have spirits that are helpful to some people but terrifying to others!
