00:00Parents warned their children with one name, Black Annies, because if you heard her breathing in the trees, it was already too late.
00:08Deep in England's forests, something ancient was said to live alone.
00:13A woman or what once was one.
00:16But here's the question.
00:17Was Black Annies a story to scare children, or a warning adults chose to forget?
00:22They said she had a blue-black face, iron claws, and eyes that watched from hollow oaks.
00:28Why did children vanish near her woods, and why were their clothes found folded nearby?
00:34At night, she crept from her lair, waiting, listening.
00:39Some swore she wore the skins of children.
00:41Others claimed she taught parents obedience through fear.
00:44But the most disturbing question remains, if she wasn't real, why did people avoid those forests for generations?
00:51Black Annies reminds us that folklore often grows from truth.
00:55And sometimes, monsters aren't he-created to frighten children.
00:59But to explain what adults can't, follow now for more dark legends and stories that history tried to bury.
