Yes, I was being serious. Folklore abounds. In Ireland she wails for the dead (or soon to die), in Gaul and Iberia she guarded treasures and sacred sites and lured young men to their doom. Lots of variation.

and she wails for certain families i think?

might be wrong...

but what of the white lady that does not wail...but smiles?

indeed...

i am not asking about the banshee.
i am asking about the apparition that some claim to be the VM...
