According to Finnish folklore, Forest Maiden would appear to a man walking alone in a forest. Looking like a lovely young maiden, she would entice him to walk deeper and deeper into the woods, often getting lost. But if he tried to approach her, he would find to his horror that her backside was nothing but a hollow, half dead tree trunk. Once discovered, Forest Maiden would be frightened and quickly disappear.
