"The Russian peasants know, for example, of the "Wild Women"
of the woods who have their abode in mountain caverns where
they maintain households, like human beings. They are hand­
some females, with fine square heads, abundant tresses, and
hairy bodies. They fling their breasts over their shoulders when
they run and when they nurse their children. They go in groups.
With unguents prepared from forest roots they can anoint and
render themselves invisible. They like to dance or tickle people
to death who wander alone into the forest, and anyone who acci­
dentally chances upon their invisible dancing parties dies. On
the other hand, for people who set out food for them, they reap
the grain, spin, care for the children, and tidy up the house; and
if a girl will comb out hemp for them to spin, they will give her
leaves that turn to gold. They enjoy human lovers, have frequently
married country youths, and are known to make excellent wives.
But like all supernatural brides, the minute the husband offends
in the least their whimsical notions of marital propriety, they
disappear without a trace" (Campbell 73).
