White Lady
a spectral figure which, according to popular legend, appears in many of the castles of Germany, as at Berlin, Neuhaus in Bohemia, Ansbach, Bayreuth, Kleve, Darmstadt, Altenburg, as also in London, Copenhagen, Stockholm, and elsewhere, by night as well as by day, particularly when the death of any member of the family is imminent.
She is regarded as the ancestress of the race, shows herself always in snowwhite garments, carries a bunch of keys at her side, and sometimes rocks and watches over the children at night when their nurses sleep.
