Welcome friends to another episode and this time we are heading into the darker realms of Faerie. We are looking at 5 really scary creatures, ones you really don't want to bump into on the pathway!
*So, today we are going take a peek at Black Annis the blue faced witch-like hag ... who was she? What is her back story?
*Next Raw Head and Bloody Bones who terrifies children...and grown ups!
*Red Cap is next, haunting the Castles of the Scottish borderlands with his disgusting red bonnet.
*Following on from Scotland we head to Ireland and find the Dearg Dubh, a vampire creature, beautiful but deadly!
*Back to Scotland we visit the Blue Men of the Minch, wicked sea creatures who you don't want to mess with!!
*Finally to England and The Black Lady of Bradley Woods, more of a vengeful spirit, but her story needs to be told and remembered.
Enjoy the episode and be back soon with more folklore!!!
