There is also a version of the rawhead, known as "Rawhead and Bloody Bones," that originated in northern England. In this version, it's a water demon that inhabits deep ponds and marl-pits and drags children into its lair. The name is often shortened to Bloody Bones, Old Bloody Bones or Tommy Rawhead.
The following rhyme originated in Yorkshire/Lancashire:
- Rawhead and Bloody Bones
- Steals naughty children from their homes,
- Takes them to his dirty den,
- And they are never seen again.
