Geocache Description:


Sixth in the Scottish Folklore Cache Trail, the final traditional cache in the series, but remember there is a bonus cache too. You can read more about the trail at the first cache in the series: GC9T7JA

Scottish folklore is a mash up of pictish myths, irish folklore, imported stories from Scanadinanvia and early continental myths. It is very nature orientated, and it's very scary. Complete the trail and in the process look for 3 words to make up a spell to reveal the bonus cache and the location of The Grail Of The Green Man - GC9TCWM .

Baobhan Sith

The baobhan sith appears as a beautiful young woman wearing a long green dress. Look closely, however, and you’ll see she has deer hooves instead of feet. She is no normal woman: she is the vampire of the Highlands.

The baobhan sith mainly prey upon male hunters, drawn to them by the scent of blood on their clothing. In the recorded tales, they often appear after a man expresses a desire for female companionship. They dance with their victims until they are exhausted, at which point the women’s nails turn to talons:  they then slit open the men’s chests, and promptly drain them of all their blood.

 

Remember to look for the spell words in the caches, so you can find the bonus cache
