Heath

A heath or heathland is a dwarf-shrub habitat found on mainly low quality acidic soils, characterized by open, low growing woody vegetation, often dominated by plants of the Ericaceae. There is no clear difference between heath and moorland but moorland is generally related to high-ground heaths with — especially in Great Britain — a cooler and damper climate.

Letchmoor Heath was a heath located in the English countryside and featured in the NBC television series She-Wolf of London. In episode 2, "The Bogman of Letchmoor Heath", a seamstress named Gertie found the preserved remains of a two-hundred-year-old bogman named Atticus Grey. She dininterred the body and brought it to a nearby pub called the Three Horseshoes. A day later, Atticus Grey rose from the dead and murdered Gertie, sewing her eyes and mouth shut. He then murdered several more people in and around the heathland until he was rendered inert by the efforts of Professor Ian Matheson and his assistant Randi Wallace.
