Show Notes

Welcome a another exciting episode of the Two Scaredy Cats.  This time we are going to the Uk for a couple of folk tales and Legends.  Thank you to Sam who is from Scotland and visiting my son Jake for the great tips about some great Legends and Lore.

First up we are talking about Jenny Greenteeth who is a gruesome water hag who mostly lives in ponds covered in duck weed where she hides waiting for children and the elderly.  She is  used throughout Scotland and England to scare little children to keep them from going near water so they don't drown.

Our next story is a true crime story about a pair of  serial killers named William Burke and William Hare.  These two made themselves famous from 1827-1828 for killing sixteen people and selling their bodies to a Dr. Knox to be used for dissection in his anatomy school!  The way in which they killed there victims by a certain type of suffocation that had been named "Burking".
