 I stumbled over the term "Vila"...maids of marvellous beauty, with

The Sergeant Majorette says:

Omigod, I can't believe I missed that, balletomane from way back as I 
am!! The ballet "Giselle", a famous technical touchstone for the 
ballerina, is all "Wilis" in the second act: the rise from the swamp, 
the 'command-to-dance' scene, The 'dance-till-you-die' killing of 
Albrecht... Apparently, that legend is also the derivation of 
the "will-o'the-wisp", a mysterious light that lures unwary 
travellers to their deaths in the swamp, and the english 
expression "it gives me the willies".
