Ep. 13 The Black Annis Witch and the Legend of Bonnie & Clyde

It's lucky number 13. Sandra discusses the legend of Black Annis from England. She is also known as Black Agnes or Black Anna. She is described as looking like a blue-faced hag or witch with claws. This folklore character is said to reside in a cave in the countryside of Leicestershire. In a similar fashion to the witch from Hansel and Gretel, Black Annis would target unsuspecting children. This story was often used by parents as a kind of cautionary tale to prevent children from wandering off. Then Danielle covers the legend of Bonnie & Clyde. A criminal couple from the 1930s who committed robberies throughout the Central United States. Though they murdered police officers and civilians, the couple had painted an image of romance and adventure. They have remained a household name to this day in part because of Bonnie's poetry and photography she captured while the couple was on the run from the authorities.
