“In my dream, she was at least eight feet tall, with four short stubby legs, each ending in a foot that hat three terrible fleshy divisions. She shuffled when she walked.”

When I consider the dream and the whole strange story, I always consider the idea that this thing or being- Beltrabol- was a local Spirit of the Land, something pre-human, part of the land long before mankind came about or around. In my dream, so draped as it was with fear, I also got the feeling that this thing didn't exactly have the bests interests of mankind in mind. The Traboli had worshipped him, made the special rocks in the area in his image, and offered him their children, possibly their firstborns.

Martha Whitcroft may indeed have found the remains of one of his idols there at Chimney Rock. It was just that kind of place. The Monks never stayed there long either (the Abbey was abandoned within 150 years of being built), and I don't imagine we should wonder why.

In my dream, I learned that "Ugly Lull Grinlee's" last sickness wasn't a sickness at all- it was more like a final transformation. She changed into something that was more like her father than her mother. In the dream, I saw her turn into a tree. I awoke thinking that she would live forever in those woods, and that when she stood still, from a distance, she looked like an old tree- and I gathered that she could sit still for a long time. It was a perfect disguise for such lonely, rural woods such as those.

Before you think my dream was high fantasy- I only have one more thing to say. In 1991, an American hiker named Jennifer Deury disappeared quite without a trace near the

vicinity of Pendle Hill and only her backpack was found in a local stretch of woods. Coincidence? One wonders.
