Pendle Witches Tour – Pendle Hill Modern Folklore – The Pendle Snow Witch There’s a bit of Lancashire folklore around Pendle Hill. After heavy snowfalls on Pendle Hill, when the snow begins to melt unevenly, the remaining patches can leave behind strange shapes or silhouettes on the hillside. People say that sometimes these resemble a witch’s face or figure, and locals have called one of these shapes “The Pendle Snow Witch.” It ties into the long tradition of the Pendle Witches (1612) — the idea being that even the landscape itself seems to echo their memory. Photographs circulate now and then after snowfalls where people spot “the witch’s profile” or “a ghostly figure” outlined in the thawing snow. So, it’s not an official historical legend, but more of a modern piece of folklore and imagery, keeping the Pendle witches alive in local imagination.
