The Lady on the Grey is a mythical woman on a big white horse. She comes for people when they die and takes them to their death on the back of her horse. All the ghosts respect her and fear her, so when she encourages the graveyard’s residents to take Bod in, they listen. Bod dances with her during the Macabray.
