They are a female spirits/ghosts, women who were heart-broken and/or jilted and died before marriage. Instead of resting in peace, they haunt the forests at night, looking for bad boys. Lead by Myrtha (head-wili),they will then kill the evil men by making them dance until death! Pretty gruesome and sad, come to Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703652246667999345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-39720864015423044632012-06-01T19:04:24.199+03:002012-06-01T19:04:24.199+03:00Just out of curiousity?
