Ghosts: Gelin


In Turkey Gelin (Turkish for Bride) is a type of female ghost associated with the local legend of the tragedy. These young women or girls usually died violently usually by suicide because they were jilted by a lover or an unmarried pregnant woman. After death, they become a harbinger of death much like a banshee. She is typically seen in slum areas.
