Doing some research for a possible character.

I don't have an exhaustive array of source material, so any info on a Ihiannan Shee would be interesting.

Thank you

Same thing, different spelling and pronunciation.

The Lhiannan-Shee was a Spirit-Friend. It was believed that if she got near enough to a man to breathe his breath or to lay her hand on him he would be in her power until death. I have heard a man relate that he once saw the lhiannan-shee. He was in the mountain pulling ling when he saw coming towards him a beautiful woman clad in golden-yellow silk. The man jumped into his cart, whipped his horse and fled for his life. He turned his head to see if she was following him, but she was standing stock-still in the ling wringing her hands.

Ah, thank you Oona.

Sounds like something in the Sarah Michelle Geller movie with the boy/cat and the murdered girl lover.

Don't know that movie, but you're welcome just the same. :-)

It's the one set in Japan. Kind of scary, until you realized how silly it was.

Bah - I'll look it up.......The Grudge.

I googled that thing, but didn't see much substantive after a few minutes. Thanks again.

Oh. Yeah I dont watch those types of movies. They are generally just a huge letdown.

As for your google search, its because you spelled the word with an I instead of an L. :-)

Watch the original Japanese version instead. Ju-on.

Small, painted Japanese children are terrifying.

Anyway- Sounds like a Celtic/Gaelic Nymph.
