I was half-expecting her to invite McKelvie back to her homeland. Then, after a blissful year or two, he would briefly re-visit his old home - only to find that several centuries had passed. All over the world, these girls in green are notorious for messing about with time.

Sounds a bit like the musical, movie from the 1940's/1950's, Brigadoon. Only in this tale, the village of Brigadoon would only be part of the ''really world one day of every century-to protect it's people from witches. I've been in love with Scottish tales most of my life. Wish I could have visited even once before it became unwise (mobility and health issues). Anyway, I haven't seen the movie in ages, but it was always a favourite of mine. Think I'll see if I can find it. ❤

Sounds like Rhiannon in Welsh mythology and her interactions with Pwll King of Dyfed as related in the Mabinogion

Tell us more stories please 😊

The forest Glaistig sounds a lot like the Huldra from Scandinavia. A generally helpful golden haired woman with the legs of an animal, usually deer or cow for the scandi version

I'm half Scottish half Irish, from Boston my grandmother would tell me stories in her native tongue, it was hard to understand, but it was hypnotic at the same time, I never really believed in ghosts but with cameras everywhere today capturing things that can't be explained away, ghosts are absolutely real.

It will be a sign that the world is getting back to where it should be when these stories have the respect they once did again.

Been having dreams of a kindly lady in green lately, this showed up in my feed today. How fitting!

Beautiful spooky stories…but…based on ancient Celtic truths 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😉👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I love good Green Lady stories. I did not know they were called Glaistigs.

Please Sir, may I have some more? You have a handsome voice and I sincerely and truly appreciate & enjoy your lyrical Scot's accent. Yours truly from America. Be Blessed

These stories are amazing

Thank you! I love hearing folklore! Thank you for adding more context in the description! I actually study folklore and I've noticed that her having goat legs is the oldest version and a beautiful woman with long hair only having goat legs also exists in the Middle East and the Philippines and I'm pretty sure in Asia as well. I just think it's so interesting how all across the world the same creatures show up in stories

I wonder why the Green Maiden haunting the castle was cursed by the Sidhe?

It could be a blessing of sorts. Perhaps the lady desired immortality/eternal youth and they granted it to her in a way. Even me, if I could be granted a wish I would wish for eternal/infinite knowledge & wisdom. Others may wish for infinite wealth or eternal youth or immortality.

Awesome, these stories have been keeping quiet company with me in my travels through the Highlands❤

Yes, PLEASE!

Talk about the fuaths or wisp's

I love listening to all of these tales. PLEASE MAKE MORE STORIES ABOUT THE GLAISTIG PLEASE!

I am Portuguese, but I am loving these stories so so much. It reminds me of my nana telling me similar stories when I was a kid. Loved them so so much❤❤❤❤

More tales from Glastig thank you so muchhhhhh

I would love to hear more stories! Thank you so much 😊

I had to listen to this video again. My cousin wrote me telling me my other cousin Cara had a dream last night of her deceased father. He was wearing a green shirt and told her to take a piece of the shirt with her and that he would always be with her. The Sidhe and green clothing seem to still be a thing....even in our times?

Aye definitely mair Glaistig stories! Kept me entertained this evening

Fantastic! A Beautiful legend beautifully told. Thank you!

This may sound crazy, but I'm 99.9% sure I had an experience w/ a Glastig. During my late teens to early 20s I lived in a town in MA or the northeast that was known for a sizable Irish population. I'm not even Irish or Scottish, or of the European persuasion, but I do have a scott-irish last name. And some Irish DNA. 🤷‍♀️ Anyway, one night I had been walking home from work. Took the usual parkway and then hit a side street that was about a mile. It was windy and connected in forks w/ other streets in certain sections. It was quiet, peaceful and nothing odd was noticed. there's this particular house I always remembered, because it had a unique/peculiar lion knocker on the door. In front was a screen door. Now, as I approach it...I start to see this greenish hue or light flash in and out of existence. It was odd. It totally came from the front of the house, but from my angle....I thought it was a strobe light or holographic. There hadn't been any heavy wind, but as I got closer to the front of the house...the wind picked up immensely. The light kept blanking on and off...like something was trying to manifest. I stood there frozen and before my eyes....in this doorway; there was a massive fucking woman. She seemed to be standing impossibly between the screen and solid front door, yet not. Cause it seemed like... wherever she was...it wasn't a part of the house. Not part of this world. There was intense noise. Like wind blowing from an entirely different landscape and light pouring forth from around her. That was pale, cold yet golden intertwined w/ an eerie green. I could only see half of her in the "doorway". The lady seemed simultaneously both old and young. She kept phasing. The spirit wore this really phantasmal green dress that shown beautifully. It was being carried by the phantom wind. Billowing. The skin was pale, luminous and the figure almost looked entranced. The eyes were a milky bluish color. Almost like she was blind or dead. The hair was a soft but pale blonde and had been pinned back, but was also messy and floating all over the place. She reminded me of that elven queen from Lord of the rings; when she became frightening and majestic. Being presented w/ the ring. The figure was beautiful and frightening. Otherworldly and jarring. I screamed upon seeing the full visage and held my chest. Then just stood transfixed and stupid. The feelings I felt were similar to awe, dread, wonder, fear and being in the presence of something ancient. It almost felt like an omen. Yes, I grew up being sensitive to the paranormal and seeing bizarre shit, but this freaked me out!! The lady never once gazed at me. Never blinked. Just a wide eyed appearance w/ a blank yet tepid smile. She seemed to be seeing something beyond my comprehension behind me. Because the house was at the junction point of the 3 way crossroad. I remember never turning my back towards the figure.....instead, it felt safer to walk backwards. I literally scared shitless...walked backwards until the figure was out of my periphery. Then I turned and ran my ass home. The lady never seemed to stand but float from whatever dimensional window she came from. I wondered if she was protecting me on my walk home? Or if that was a warning for something else. I'm an avid believer in the fae and used to leave them offerings in the woods during my teens. That shook me something wicked. I remember my hands shaking for a week afterwards.

I would enjoy hearing more stories about these green ladies!

More stories please please!!!!!

Holly Black has Glastigs in her Folk of the Air series and of the Modern Fairy Tales!

I really liked these tales and I would like to hear more.thank you

I've been trying to dig into any and all monsters and spirts from around the world for years now. I've learned a decent amount about various fae, and yet this is my first time every hearing of a Glastig. So I'm happy to subscribe and see what other fae I can learn abut from you

Love your voice and accent! ♥️

I would personally love to meet a Glaistig or other fey spirit or helpful ghosts.

Yes more tales

This is a great channel.

Yes, please! The stories are wonderful.

Have you read the book "Passport to Magonia" ? It's amazing how folklore and extraterrestrial / interdimensional beings descriptions cover each other! There is a sulphuric smell reported from those strange beings and they are afraid of iron. I wonder if iron sulphide reaction is deadly for them!? Heat is the trigger...

cool. More please

Glamis castle is supposed to be home to a glaistig. It's got alot of lore surrounding it though. I have never seen anything

I just saw a lady in a green dress but it was a mini skirt .

Would love more stories of the Glaistig! Do they interact any differently with women, and are they any known stories of women meeting them?

I bet this is where C.S. Lewis got his inspiration for the Lady of The Green Kirtle.

People are different even when they aren't considered human....weird right?....

Does golden hair really include red hair like in many of these pictures? 😅 Most of these descriptors hit a bit too close to home for me! I wonder what stories I might have generated with my eccentricities. I cringe to think of the stories I have inspired. 😆

@LiathWolf

Red or brown hair seems to be far more common in the older tales of the Glastig, when the being was more of a nature spirit and shepherd of wild creatures, the golden hair tends (not always) to appear in later tales, and is more associated with the haunting, ghostly glastig. hope that helps. Its a gift to inspire tales even if some are a little odd. 🤣

I am of Thomson/MacThomson/MacTavish descent and I would love to know if we had a run-in with one of these spirits; any direction to point me in?

So...What happened to the Kennedys of Lochaber???

McPherson is one of the Scottish surnames that is part of my family

Hurrah for the 'maidens' with goat's legs or hooves, or hollow backs when they turn around!

Green Lady is a sister of the She-Hulk

Poor moo cows.

The word probably derives from a corruption of Grey (GLAS) and Witch (STrIGa)= "GLASTIG".
