`The #gwyllion, strange female spirits, were said to haunt lonely roads in #Wales. With her apron thrown over her shoulder, trudging wearily along carrying a wooden milk-pail, this ancient hag wore ash-colored rags and an oblong four-cornered hat. There is no record of her attacking those she met on the roads, but her appearance was fearsome enough to frighten lonely travelers. Like other members of the #fairy races, she feared metal, especially iron, and vanished instantly if confronted with a knife or other piece of cutlery.`
