About this episode

The episode explores the legend of Jenny Greenteeth, an ancient water hag from English folklore who preys on children near water.

Jenny Greenteeth — Beneath the still, duckweed-choked surface of Britain's ponds and canals lurks Jenny Green Teeth, an ancient water hag from English folklore with elongated grasping arms, needle-sharp teeth, and a centuries-old hunger for children who wander too close to the water's edge. When a drainage project disturbs the old binding that has held her captive for generations, two young siblings discover that some legends were never just stories meant to frighten.
