Also called the espectro co porá, this is a myth from northwestern Argentina. The woman in white wears a long white tunic and tends to prowl the cemeteries near the places where she lived. Her objective is to lure the curious toward that place.
The woman in white usually walks slowly, does not speak, and tends to smoke. Sometimes she attends festivities dressed in luxurious clothing, and once there she persuades an unsuspecting person to accompany her to the cemetery or to some isolated roadside cross. The unfortunate companion typically dies lying across a grave.
