| - Black Annis is the name given to a monstrous witch in English folklore that was said to haunt the countryside where she would hunt down her 2 favorite meals, lambs and the flesh of humans (especially children) - she was said to have iron-claws instead of finger nails and would be as bold as to reach into the windows of homes and snatch children away to be devoured. Black Annis was not a human, as her face was said to be blue in coloration and highly deformed - this coupled with her fondness for human flesh is highly suggestive of her being a hag, a type of spirit that is often confused with a witch but is in reality a type of ancient goddess or demon. Black Annis was also said to have a horrible habit of flaying her victims, leaving their skins outside her cave to tan - this grisly sight may of served to warn others to stay away from her abode and she was commonly used as a bogeyman to frighten children into good behavior out of fear that should they misbehave they would be spirited away by the old hag and devoured.
- It is said that she haunts the countryside of Leicestershire, living in a dark cave located somewhere in the Dane Hills, known as "Black Annis' Bower" by locals, with an old oak tree marking the entrance, a tree she often hid in waiting for someone to snatch up. She was said to be very tall and horrible, with blue skin, glowing eyes, long, sharp teeth and claw-like fingers, which she used to tear into the small children she prepared to eat. After she had eaten the child, she hung their skin on the old oak tree to dry, later to be sewn in her skirt made purely of child skin. The hag only left the cave at dark, where she set off to find tasty children, the tastiest being those who misbehaved. She also fed on farm animals, like sheep and lamb, much to the local farmers' disdain. Children were warned not to venture into the Dane Hills alone, lest they run into Black Annis and be snatched away into her Bower to be sucked dry. It was most common to see her long, bony arms pulling children through shack windows, as glass was not put in place during the eighteenth-century. The witch's horrible howl could be heard from miles away, giving time to prepare for her visit. It is said that you could even hear her sharp teeth grinding together if you listened. Her cave was filled with dirt late into the nineteenth-century, possibly literally burying Black Annis forever. A housing estate now stands on the grounds of the old crone's lair.

As mentioned in The Alchemyst, Black Annis is a vile, dark creature of the night and even thinking about her could cause madness. When Nicholas Flamel and Scathach are contemplating an Elder that could awaken Josh Newman, they consider Black Annis, along with Persephone. Both however, were deemed insane and too dangerous to make contact with. Black Annis is said to be residing in the Catskills and according to Scatty, if her grandmother, The Witch of Endor (also known as Zephaniah), knew where Black Annis was, she would not let her live.
