In old Leicestershire folklore, children were warned about Black Annis—a blue-faced hag said to lurk near her cave with iron claws. Later traditions made the legend even darker: she devoured her victims and hung their skins from trees.
Some bedtime warnings were designed to make sure children NEVER wandered after dark. 😳
