"My son, wherefore seek'st thou thy face thus to hide?"

"Look, father, the Erl-King is close by our side!

Dost see not the Erl-King, with crown and with train?"

"My son, 'tis the mist rising over the plain."

 

-From “The Erl-King” by Goethe

Jenny Greenteeth, a murderous water spirit who haunts stagnant ponds.

After the church bell fell into the river Lugg, The Mermaid of Marden, tired of being awoken by the daily ringing of the bell, thwarted the townsfolk’s attempt to hoist it out of the river.
