'How? How ... when she's in the air ?'
The woman in white is right in front of you now. Her face is beautiful, her eyes are like whirlpools.
'Give her the green in your eyes.'
You hear the river, feel yourself losing balance.
You close your eyes, grab grass like your hanging on for life.

at night it looks like a portal to hell,
standing tall and ghostly white against the sky.
if you see Old Green Eyes, just run.
it's better than being tossed from the battlements.
so many found dead at its base...

Old Green Eyes they call me,
But I don't really have a name.
I've been here longer than the trees,
I'll be here when you're dead.
I'll knock you from the tower here,
I'll try to steal your head!

Everyone's eyes turned green when they see her. They grew jealous not of her beauty, of which she had plenty, but of her spirit. Bold and free, she would never be afraid to stick up for a friend. They are jealous of how little she care and how true she was to herself.

The lady in white turns to face you, and it's like her head is the absence of light. But her dress...the blemished white. Some kind of pulse shimmers through it as she points to a glass coffin suspended in air. A woman's inside - her face covered by hair.
'Help her,' a voice says.

I told my family once
bury me in a glass coffin...
the trick was that I would haunt
anyone who looked too close
because I figured the afterlife
would be a bit too boring,
being without a body and all.

they say that if you search long enough
you'll find my glass coffin
unburied upon the house's grounds.
try not to look too long upon,
or I'll haunt you for all time!

imagine walking through this tunnel
and encountering a man on horseback
except he's headless,
and chases you back.
so apparently if you get to the end,
you can only see the hole in daylight...

Just like that story, long ago,
the horseman that do haunt,
I am headless, and wander round
my head is what I hunt.
my head is what I hunt,
but I cannot find
cannot find
it anywhere around.

Your 3rd prompt is: "headless"

The lady in white's dress wasn't unblemished. Your phone's light showed you as much. That's why you kept following her. But the light ... the path she takes you down seems to eat it. The closer you get to the river, the more the light stops at her neck. The more she appears headless.

Evil was kept in a glass coffin not to worship it or to study but simply to maintain. Constant guard was kept on the coffin to ensure the evil only leaked and never escaped. For if evil broke out, balance would never come again

our asylum's all full up
and shut down again this year
there's no telling whose left wandering
the grounds or local parks.
don't stay out after dark.

Been around too long
Too long I've been around
I'm haunted from root to top
Nothing is free from my grounds.
I was an asylum once
The dead they are not found.

every town has a white lady ghost,
a spirit wandering forever in search of something...
ours wanders a yellow bridge
set deep within the park.
some say she died in a fire,
but most just talk about her form,
glowing in the dark.

#fastprompt 207:1

She haunts the bridge they say
The White Lady
Watch where you go, watch where you go
Don't you dare go that way!

Imagine seeking asylum
and finding what they made of it -
Ruin. Sustained ruin.
