	Scottish spirit that is often associated with the Banshee, it haunts deserted streams washing the clothes of those who are soon to die. The Bean Nighe are the ghosts of women who have died at childbirth, condemned until the day they were supposed to die to wash at the fords. They are described as having one nostril, one big protruding tooth, webbed feet, and long hanging breasts. If someone were to sneak up on a Bean Nighe and suck her breast, she would be obliged to grant him a wish.
