Halloween Costume Photostory
A short photostory of making my halloween costume just for fun – I uploaded the clip to youtube so I could post it here. Unfortunately my computer doesn’t recognise my music so I used a piece which came with photoshop.
I was one of the Baobhan Sith…
A baobhan sith (pronounced baa’-van shee) is a type of vampire in Scottish mythology.They are also known as the White Women of the Scottish Highlands.
Usually found in forests or natural settings, a baobhan sith has the form of a beautiful woman in a green dress. One version of the legend says that they have deer hooves for feet, which they keep hidden under the dress. Often several baobhan siths will appear together as a group. Legends have them seducing young men with their beauty, inviting the men to dance with them and eventually drinking their blood.
There is a certain legend in regards to the baobhan sith, where a group of young travellers stopped for the night in a small glade in the Scottish Highlands.
The weakness of the Baobhan Sith seems similar to most vampires: they cannot tolerate daylight. It also seems that they do not use fangs to draw blood; but rather they use sharp fingernails. Similar to other vampires, Baobhan Sith use seduction to gain their victims. According to legend, they arise from their graves once a year to feed, and a way to stop them from waking is to build a cairn over their grave.
A fearful female creature in Scottish Gaelic oral tradition. A kind of succubus, very dangerous and evil, she will suck dry of blood any man who takes her embrace. Distinguish from the death-presaging figure of Irish folklore, the banshee, who is known as the ban-sìth, bean-shìth, or bean sìth in Scottish Gaelic tradition
