Black Annis This week we crawled into the Dane Hills of Leicester to meet Black Annis, the blue-skinned, iron-clawed hag of English folklore who supposedly lurks in a cave and snatches anyone who wanders too close. We dug into where the legend came from, why a monster this grotesque might have been invented in the […]
