Black Annis the Faery Hag
Black Annis is a faery witch found in the legends. Black Annis is said to have blue skin and iron claws which she would use to snatch children from their houses at night. Black Annis was said to terrorize the countryside of Leicestershire and she once she captured a victim she would skin and tan them and wear the skin around her waist. The people made the windows small so Black Aniis could only get one arm in and when they heard her howl from five miles away they put skins of animals and herbs on their windows to protect themselves.

In space-time, everything which for each of us constitutes the past, the present, and the future is given en bloc … Each observer, as his time passes, discovers, so to speak, new slices of space-time which appear to him as successive aspects of the material world, though in reality the ensemble of events constituting space-time exists prior to his knowledge of it.

Selves come and go, as brains come and go. And at the subjective, human level what this amounts to is a continuous state of ‘being you.’ 'You’ don’t have to worry about dying, because the moment you stop being associated with a particular brain and a particular narrative, the feeling of being you reemerges in a new guise. It has happened before and it will happen again. And it is not a case of you becoming someone else in the traditional sense of transmigrating souls. We have to see that 'being you’ is just a general phenomenon. There is no actual, objective link that determines who you will become. You will not become anyone. There is just a continuously experienced condition of you-ness.

There are a number of spooky tales from Louisiana, but one of the most enthralling is that of Manchac Swamp. First of all, Manchac is rumoured to be haunted. It’s also rumoured to be the haunt of Rougarou, the Cajun werewolf. As well as that, it’s said to be haunted by Julia Brown, a once practising voodoo priestess, who put a curse on the entire town the day she died. Legend says that on the day of her funeral in 1915, a deadly hurricane ripped through the town, destroying three villages and killing a number of people. A number of curious visitors to the swamp have reported hearing shrill screams from a disembodied woman.
