PEG POWLER

The 'Peg Powler' is a hag from English folklore with a green skin, long hair and sharp teeth who is said to inhabit the River Tees. She grabs the ankles of those who wander too close to the water's edge, especially naughty children, and pulls them under water and drowns them.
Grindylows and Jenny Greenteeth are similar water spirits. All of these appear to be invented to frighten children from dangerous waters.[1]
