skotta - The Female Ghost
Icelandic female ghosts are usually called Skotta. The name originates from their clothing as they would wear brownish national costumes with the head dress turned backwards.
Skotta often wears red socks and sucks on her fingers. Among the most famous Skotta in Iceland is the Myvatnsskotta, Ivars Gunna and Mohusaskotta.
