The forest maiden is a Finnish fairy tale creature. The forest maiden sometimes appeared to men in the forest. She could come to dance at the campfire or walk over. The Forest Maiden was a delightfully beautiful maiden from the front, dressed in gauze and with long hair, but the back side of the creature was hollow, or from behind it was just a log. The man noticed this to his horror if he tried to see the girl's back. Then the forest maiden also got scared and left.
