I like this entry. I miss some context. What's a classic telling of this myth? It must be Breton? How would we find out more? Wetman 01:09, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I have more information to contribute on this, but at the mo this page is a possible copyright violation, so I'm not wasting time making edits if the whole thing's about to be scrapped. Les Lavandieres is the Breton incarnation of this Celtic myth, but we also have it in Britain, in slightly different forms for Ireland, Scotland, Cornwall and Wales. I don't think there is a traditional telling, they're just things you watch out for (like a banshee). Anyway, eyes peeled and maybe a fuller article will be here shortly.

Incidentally, Selphie... please get back to me on my talk page about whether you own the text of this article (see your talk page). If I don't hear from you soon, this article and Ankou are both up for speedy deletion.

No word from Selphie, so I've put the copyright notice on this and Ankou. But I have posted my own researches on the subject on the temporary page, where it will either get merged with the old one (if it's not a copyright infringement) or become the beginning of a new article.
