A Cannibal Witch or a Forgotten Goddess? The chilling legend of Black Annis has haunted Leicester’s Dane Hills for centuries. A blue-skinned, one-eyed hag with razor-sharp claws, she was said to snatch unwary travellers, devour their flesh, and hang their skins from her tree. But is there more to her story? In this deep-dive into English folklore, we uncover the origins of Black Annis and explore how her legend evolved over time. Was she simply a gruesome nursery bogey meant to scare children? Perhaps she was a monstrous distortion of an old hermitess? Or does her myth hold echoes of something far older? Perhaps a distorted memory of a lost pagan deity? The truth, as is often the case, may be hidden in the shadows… 📌 In this video, we explore: The original folklore and early accounts of Black Annis How her story changed over time, from cave-dwelling monster to a roving night terror The mystery of her name and the possible historical figure Agnes Scott Theories linking her to ancient goddesses like Anu or the Cailleach The role of Christianity and Victorian horror traditions in reshaping her legend 💬 What do you think? Is Black Annis a forgotten deity, a misunderstood historical figure, or simply a terrifying piece of local lore?
