According to the online article,"RELATIONS BETWEEN THE LIVING AND THE DEAD IN LITHUANIAN FOLKLORE," Death took the form of Giltinė, a goddess who looked like a human skeleton who wore a white cloak and prowled Lithuania with a scythe in hand. She could kill by stinging you with her long tongue, or she could strangle you, or she might strike you down using her scythe. Sneaking around the homes of sick people, she could be detected if dogs barked when no one was around, the sound of a hoot owl at night, creaking beams, doors opening or closing themselves or if you heard three knocks at the window or at the door when no one was there. Of course, the very ill could see her with their own eyes.

 

Yeah, so a quick story, my grandpa who died almost a hundred years old, if he was sick, in the morning he would say, “Giltinė came to visit me tonight, but she left and I’m still alive”. Wow! That’s amazing. Yeah, so it’s real. It is real! That’s a cool story. Very nice.
