In Valens, one sometimes saw “the Death Maiden” creeping into the houses late at night, where someone unfailingly died.

Das Totenwibli

In Valens sah man zuweilen spät abends “das Totenwibli” in die Häuser schleichen, wo unfehlbar darauf jemand starb.
Dr. Henne-Am Rhyn, Deutsche Volkssage.

Editor’s note: I’ve translated “wibli” as Maiden rather than woman because the article is Das rather than Die.
