#FolkloreThursday: `In the North Riding of #Yorkshire, Jeannie of Biggersdale was said to live in Musgrave Woods where, like other #bogies or #boggarts, this dreadful spirit threatened passing travelers. One farmer who attempted to drive her out of the region lost his horse when Jeannie cut it in two. The man was lucky to escape with his life.`
