This is a video on the most famous folkloric creature we have in South Carolina from the Gullah nation on the coast. Interesting people those Gullah. They're a Caribbean related people that have their own Anglo-Creole language and speak in an almost Jamaican sounding accent. Some practice a local Christianized variation of Voodoo called Hoodoo. My father would always joke about them "putting the root on me" meaning they might curse me as Hoodoo practitioners are called root workers. They have a whole body of folklore arising from Hoodoo and other beliefs stemming from Africa of which the Boo Hag is but one element.
