JENNY GREENTEETH
Folklore of England
A type of Hag
This is a monstrous being in the folklore of the county of Lancashire in northwestern England. JENNY GREENTEETH is evil and malignant, inhabiting stagnant lakes and pools of water. She is a predator of humans and in particular awaits for the unwary child who may go too close to the water. When this happens, she grabs the child in her long, green fangs and drags them down under the water to drown. JENNY GREENTEETH may be found in any pool or pond that is covered with green slime or scum. She is a monstrous, demonic being that belongs to a class of Nursery Bogies described with vigor by watchful nursemaids and anxious parents in order to prevent the untimely death of children in such fearful places.
