Name ▲▼	Origin ▲▼	Description ▲▼
"Nick"	Scandinavian	A water-wraith or kelpie. There are nicks in sea, lake, river, and waterfall. Both Catholic and Protestant clergy have laboured to stir up an aversion to these beings. They are sometimes represented as half-child, half-horse, the hoofs being reversed, and sometimes as old men sitting on rocks wringing the water from their hair. This kelpie must not be confounded with the nix. Scandinavian
Ghost name "Wraith"	Scotland	The ghost of a person shortly about to die or just dead, which appears to survivors, sometimes at a great distance off. Scotland
