Lithuanian and Romanian Ghosts: Similarities and Diffrencies

Romanian:

Muma Pădurii is an ugly and mischievous or mad old woman living in the forest (in the heart of the virgin forests, in a hut/cabin or an old tree). She cures the forest if it’s dying, and she keeps the unwanted trespassers away driving them mad and scaring them to flee.

She can be associated with witches but she’s a neutral “creature”, harming only those who harm the forest.

Lithuanian:

Ragana is an old-looking female or witch. Mostly has dark intentions and powers to control forces of nature. They probably were old ladies living by the forest, having a good knowledge of plants and their use for medical and other purposes.

Romanian: Vantoase are creatures present in Romanian folklore, as a sort of female spirits (Iele). Popular beliefs describe them as capable of causing dust storms and powerful winds. They live in forests, in the air, in deep lakes, and use a special wagon for traveling.

Lithuanian:Vėjopatis, god of the wind and master of Dausos (paradise).

Romanian: A spiridus is a little creature that can be either good or evil, similar to the leprechauns. 

Lithuanian: Kaukas, spirits similar to leprechauns.
