Fye

[My Good Babushka]

In Scotland, a spirit or ghost is called a fye.
"Some observing an old woman in her 99th year remarked that in the course of Nature she could not long survive. 'Ay', said the old woman with pointed indignation, 'what fye-token do you see about me?'"


I have made a painting, Fye, of a little masked ghost in the woods. https://www.etsy.com/listing/185304040/fye-ghost-wraith-fetch-dark-woods-forest?ref=shop_home_active_21
