The Witte Wieven are spirits of Dutch folklore and legend. The name itself means "Wise women," or simply "white women", as in Ladies in White, or female spirits and ghosts that gather together as a band of mist. The Witte Wieven prefer cool, damp bogs, thick woodlands, dense forests, murky swamps, lakes, marshes, fields and burial mounds.
Described as mainly a group of nocturnal women dressed in grubby white gowns, but most of all as a trio. Associated with witches, or the disturbed spirits of violence and sinful lifestyles. Considered either vengeful or wanton in the afterlife, they're often made to roam around. These ladies in white are linked to undiscovered treasure. They can locate missing objects and money.
Witte Wieven are said to live in holes, called Witte Wievenkuil, or just deep burrows in places like Barchem, Eefde, Bathmen and Luttenberg. It's known that to summon a witte wieven, one could go to these Witte Wievenkuil holes and throw in a cooking rod, roasting spit or any sharp object. However, this could anger the Witte Wieven.
