This is by far the best historical and complete description of Black Annis !! I came across the tale while researching my last name "Annis" I have learned that when pronouncing Agnes the G is silent. So it sounds like Anes which became Annis. Agnes means Purity and so does Annis. Thank You so much for this Video!!

you are very welcome and thank you for your kind words :)

There were 3 that lived in my gardens. They were not scary at all. One of them would take sips of my wine with me and was always very polite.

You are very welcome, my husband's family on his dad's side are a Borderlands clan so close to our hearts :)

We have a similar Water Spirit to Black Annis near where I live on the River Ribble, the river requires a soul every seven years. Sadly a great deal of North Lancashire seems to be overlooked by folklorists, we have the odd thing but I've never, in many years of looking, found a book talking about our area's folklore.

Totally agree, being a Lancashire lass it is so hard to find Lancashire folklore recorded. I had a book years ago, tiny publisher, about the folklore of Lancashire, but I can't find my copy... AND the publisher closed down donkeys years ago so I can't get another.... however I will be adding more Lancashire content :)

Excellent stories.

YAY!!🎉 A New Fey Folklore Treasure!!😊❤ Brightest of Blessings to Everyone, May you Never Ever Meet These!!😮 Namasté 🙏🕊️💞🌟 Andréa and Critters. ....XxX....

Changeling the lost fuel!!

Nice

Thanks so much :)

There was a fairy that lived in the apartment above us when I was 15. From what I recall he wasn’t very tall, his head never got above the level of my belt buckle.

Love your videos from Ivybridge gateway to the moors. Thank you kindly for the time and effort you put in to your beautifully narrated tales.

"black-uniformed dominican nun" dominican nuns wear white! only their cappa (cloak) is black, and they wear it generally only during lent though in some convents they wear it during other celebrations. a fully professed nun's veil is also black. benedictines wear black habits, so perhaps that is a more likely option. i'm going to be a dominican nun so this really stuck out to me lol

Very interesting, of course fairy don't like humans too much, and I understand why, but it because humans cruel and evil attitude to nature, that's why they like this, but not they so bad, but humans imagination of them,so it's fears 😨 humans not evil nature fairy I think, if humans don't love nature , why fairy must love humans and treat people well, if they don't respect even nature..., of course it's only my own

Silly, sheep like & cruel . Things could be so different.
