Black Annis also known as Black Agnes. She has blue face, iron claws, taste for human specially for child flesh. She is a hag or a witch. People believe that she haunts in the countryside of Leicestershire, lives in a cave in the Dane Hills and has an oak tree at its entrance. The Black Annis goes out at night looking for children and lambs to eat, then tanning their skins and hanging on the tree. Later she wears them on her waist. It's said that she creates her cave digging a hole into it with her iron claws. In the 18th century the parents were very concerned about their children, so they warned them by telling them that if the don't behave Black Annis will catch them. So you little children out there, better watch out!! I'm totally serious, Black Annis is going to get you and eat you alive!!
