Jenny Greenteeth is a monster from the United Kingdom. A horrid hag which lurks beneath the water line, waiting to pull children and the elderly to a watery grave. Many say she was created for scaring children away from moss covered ponds they could fall into. Some think the watery witch lurks in shallow ponds waiting to grab an ankle of a victim.



She is said to be bone thin with green skin and have the face of an ugly old woman. She has long, green, mosslike hair. The fear sets into her victims when she grips them with her long, green nails, or stare at the with her glowing, vibrant, yellow eyes. What seems to be the most noted of her appearance is her long, dark green shark teeth.



The water hag is said to occasionally lure victims to her pond with singing, much like a siren. She is believed to be a more land-based cousin. Like sirens, she pulls her victims below the surface and stares into their eyes while they thrash and struggle for air.



One night, a boy went fishing at his local pond. With pole and tackle in hand, the boy watched for ripples in the water to look for fish when a pair of bright yellow dots reflected the moonlight toward him. He made his way around the edge of the pond to see what the yellow glare could be.



Upon approaching the two yellow spots, he believed them to be on a rock covered in moss. One odd note the boy made was that the two objects always faced toward him. The boy continued walking until he found a spot to fish. He fished for about an hour and then realized the yellow objects were moving across the water.



After another hour or so, he found the objects were just offshore from him. Then, the yellow objects shot from the water and a woman was halfway from the water, arms lurching towards him, a scream from hell ringing through his ears. The boy fell to the ground as a hand reached for his ankle, but could not quite reach. The boy leaped up and took off for home as the wailing green woman slowly submerged into the cool, mossy water.



When the boy returned home, still terrified, he told his mother what had happened. Instead of the normal reaction of telling him it wasn’t real, she sat him down and told her a story her grandmother used to tell her – the story of Jenny Greenteeth.
