"Vila" (pronounced "veela") are Eastern Slavonic wind and storm spirits, 
capable of calling forth whirlwinds, hailstorms and rain. Depending on their 
habitats, people speak of land, water, wood and cloud vilas. These female 
spirits appear in the form of a swan, horse or wolf or, if in human form, as 
beautiful women, winged and with long hair. They posses eternal youth and are 
usually friendly towards humans. In Slovakia they are the souls of deceased 
girls.
