A water spirit from the Tees River, which runs near Yorkshire, England. Peg Powler is usually depicted as a hideous old woman with green skin, long green hair, and sharp teeth. She grabs the ankles of anyone standing close to the water and pulls them in, drowning them. Green foam or green scum on the surface of the water was considered signs of her presence. Variants of Peg Powler include Jenny Greenteeth (Lancashire), Nellie Longarms (Derbyshire, Cheshire, Shropshire).
