about

Night of the Boo Hags

A mythical demon originating from the African American Gullah culture in the southern states of the USA, and South Carolina in particular. These monsters are said to be naturally skinless, shrouding themselves in the skins of their human victims which start to rot over time. The Hags prey on the breath of humans, shedding their skin and sneaking into houses through cracks at night, then climbing onto the chests of the sleeping inhabitants, pinning them down and sucking their breath as they ‘ride’ the sleeping victim. During this time the person they are riding enters a helpless, suffocating nightmare state. If the victim wakes up and resists the Hag, then the Boo Hag will steal their skin and wear it so they can go out undetected in public.

There are warning signs to let you know if a Boo Hag is near – the air will become hot and humid, accompanied by the smell of rancid flesh. To protect yourself from a Boo Hag, sleep with a broom close by – Boo Hags cannot pass a broom without counting all the bristles which takes them all night to do. They also cannot resist counting all the holes in sieves or strainers, so sleep with them close by too. Whatever you do, don’t let the hag ride you.
