A monster "whelp'd and bred in Wales" that "ate so much Goats Milk, that is has been very subject of late Years to have Horns sprout forth of its Head." The monster "was never known to blush, tho sometimes to look pale," and created havoc around town by "having confederated with some Wolves, and prey'd upon some Sheep Skins that contain'd the City Charter." After this incident, "three or four hundred Men from Westminster hunted it," and the monster "was dignified with a fine Collar and a Pouch, to the great DIshonour and Scandal of both; and was trusted with the Custody or a certain large Conscience." (1)

A monster found by Thomas West while he is fishing in a lake near Wollage. The being "is called a Toad-fish" because "the head and eyes, when it lyes upon its belly, doe perfectly resemble a Toad," but it has "the perfect breast and chest of a man." It is thought that the Toad-fish "swims upright, beating the water with his hands." The size of the Toad-fish leads people to believe it is the Devil. The Toad-fish "is in length well-nigh five foot, in breadth a yard over, having on each side two huge fins, in likenesse much like a Thornback, his taile a foot in lenght, as it were all of Whale-bone." (1-2)

Conjoined twins, born of a young woman (Anonymous 21) through infinite pain and danger. The body of one infant grew out of the neck of the other, with this child having "neither head nor feet, but was only content with thighes and two-stumps for leggs." This child also did not have any arms, "but two imperfect branches came from the shoulders of it which had no hands at all." Additionally, "the nails both for the hands & foot in a sormidable length and shapenesse did grow out of the hipps on each side." Unlike this child, the second twin was "in the shape of a man child, and perfect in every limb, it was but little but very lovely to behold, spare and leane and its feet were fastoned in the hollow trunke which grew about the neck of the other monster out of which it doth appeare the whole body doth proceede." (7-8)

One of two familiars, allegedly owned by Cecily Sellis which her son, John Sellis describes as "like his sister" with "eyes as big as himself" and that his brother John describes as "big as his sister" with eyes like "vnto goose eyes." Hercules (alias John, Jack, Sotheons) is a black male imp which allegedly became unruly and attacked John one night, grabbing him by the leg or the toe, leaving a mark. This attack caused some conflict in the family; Henry Sellis Sr. yelled at his wife, and when Henry Sellis Jr. told his mother he was afraid, she yelled at him. Between the two boys, the story emerges that Hercules lives with his own sister imp on a soft padding of wool, nestled into the roots of a crab apple tree. She is fed milk with a wooden spoon from a wooden bowl by both of the boys' parents, Henry Sr. and Cicily Sellis, and is sent to hurt Richard Rosse's maid before sent away, or sold for two pennies.

A spirit or familiar from Milton in the county of Bedford, known to take the form of a black sow and to belong to Mary Sutton and Mother Sutton. When Anonymous 89 beat Henry Sutton over the ears for throwing stones and filth, Henry went crying home to his mother Mary Sutton; Mary vowed to take revenge. The next day, Anonymous 89 and another servant were taking a cart of corn to the market and spotted "a goodly faire blacke Sow" grazing, which kept pace with them until a mile out of Bedford. At that point, the sow "turne twice or thrice about as readily as a Windmill sayle at worke: And as sodainly their horses fell to starting and drawing some one way, some another." The horses were maddened, wild and sweating, and took off with their load. On the way back to Milton, they observed the sow returning to Mother Sutton's home. (B-B2)

Three magical beings who are conjured by Dr. Lamb in his house in London, in front of two witnesses: Sir Miles Sands, and Mr. Barbor. Dr. Lamb first conjures a tree in the middle of the room, and after appeared these "three little Fellows," who are described as having "Axes on their Shoulders, and Baskets in their Hands." They "presently fell to work, cut down the Tree, and carried all away," save a single wood chip which fell on Mr. Barbor's velvet coat. (156)

A Daemon, who appears to be the spirit of the deceased second wife of the deceased father of Mr. Philip Furze, who appears before Mr. Philip Furze's servant, Francis Fey. She first appears to Francis Fey when she throws him off his horse on his way home to Spreyton, in the county of Devon, from Totnes. He was cast "with such violence" to the ground, that there was a "resounding [...] great noise." The female spirit also caused Francis Fey's horse to leap "25 foot, to the amazement of all that saw it." The spirit also shows herself to other members of the household, such as Thomasine Gidly, Ann Langdon, and a small child (Anonymous 414), "which by reason of the troublesomenes of the Spirit, they were fain to remove from that house." The spirit is further capable of changing shape: she is sometimes "very horrid," at other times "like a monstrous Dog belching out fire." She has also been described "in the shape of a Horse, carrying with it one pane of glass, & a small piece of Iron" taken from a window she flew at. The Daemon also takes great delight in causing trouble for Francis Fey: his head is thrust into "a very strait place," between a bed and wall, which required "the strength of divers men" to free him; she causes the binding of his arm after these injuries to be "strained with such violence," that he is almost strangled to death. The binding also makes a "strange and dismal noise." She also attempts to strangle Francis Fey using "Cravats, and Handkerchief" worn around his neck. This Daemon also "shewed great offence at the Perriwigs which the young man used to wear;" on one occasion, she breaks through two boxes and a number of weights protecting a perriwig in order to cut it "into many small parts and tatters,"; another time, she tore a perriwig off of his head, and "reduced [it] into very small fragments." On another occasion, the specter tears out one of the shoe-strings of Francis Fey's shoe, and caused it clasp and curl around the hand of a maid (Anonymous 415) "like a living Eel, or Serpent." The daemon further causes damage by tearing up a pair of gloves, "which is so dexterously tatter'd, and so artificially torn, that it is conceived a Cutler could not have contrived an Instrument, to have laid it abroad so accurately," however this was done in Francis Fey's pocket in less than a minute. The spirit also tore up the clothing of Francis Fey and "a servant maid" if they wore their own clothes. Other "strange and fantastical freaks" accomplished by the spirit include: moving a barrel of salt; placing bacon on a hand-iron; and twisting the feet and legs of Francis Fey so they are about his neck or chairs and stools. It is said that the specter "appears in resemblance of her own person, she seems to be habited in the same cloaths, and dress." On Easter evening, in 1628, she takes Francis Fey "up by the skirt of his doublet, [...] and carried [him] a heighth into the Air." When Francis Fey is found again after being missing, he is found in a "Trance, or extatick fit," but upon recovering from this fit, claimed that he had been in "perfect sense" and that the Daemon had carried him very high into the air - a fact verified by the finding of a shoe and a perriwig in a tree and out of doors. The spirit also comes to Francis Fey in Crediton, in the shape of a bird, and threw a "weight of Brass or Copper" at the forehead of Francis Fey when he is being treated by a Physician. The spirit "continued to molest the young man in a very severe and rugged manner, often handling him with great extremity," and continued to haunt him for some time. (180)

A monster who appears to a falconer (Anonymous 422) in Sherborne, in the county of Dorset, in the shape of a goblin while he is reading "a certain Book." The falconer had not read much in the book, "before he saw something come to the side of the bed," which was a goblin. This "frightful" creature makes the falconer remember a conversation he had had with a huntsman (Anonymous 423) earlier that day, saying that the falconer (Anonymous 422) was always "looking upwards, and Blaspheming," which greatly troubles the falconer. (197 - 198)

An apparition of Fairies, who seem to keep a Fair in Blackdown Hills every summer. These fairies appear "like Men and Women of a stature, generally, near the smaller size of Men." They often wear the colours "red, ble, or green, according to the old way of Country Garb, with high crown'd hats." They appear before a man riding to Combe St. Nicholas (Anonymous 425), in Blackdown Hills, as a "great company of People, that seemed to him like Country Folks, Assembled, as at a Fair." The Fair of these fairies includes unusual goods, and "all sorts of Commodities," including "Pewterers, Shoe-makers, Pedlars, and all kind of Trinkets, Fruit, and drinking Booths," as seen at usual fairs. However, whenever the man tried to get close to the fair, "he could discern nothing at all, only seemed to be crouded, and thrust, as when one passes through a throng of people." They all became invisible, but at a distance, he could see them again. Following this encounter, the man (Anonymous 425) had a "lameness [seize] him all on one side," which stayed with him until his death twenty years later. A full fifty years after these events, a man, his wife, and "divers of the Neighbours" (Anonymous 426) still claimed they could see the Fair-keeping in the summer, although none dared "adventure in amongst them, for that every one that had done so, had received great damage by it." (208-209)

A thing from Feversham in the County of Kent, alleged to have appeared late at night to Joan Cariden, alias Argoll. Cariden claimed "in the night there lay a rugged soft thing upon her bosome which was very soft" and which she thought to be alive.

A number of imps from Suffolk, believed to belong to Anonymous 476, a woman hanged for being a witch in 1645. These imps allegedly sent her imps "to the Army, to kill the Parliaments Souldiers," as well as "the Kings Souldiers." These imps also alleged "caused a mans crop of Corn to fail." (114)

A familiar in the shape of a rat, who visits the child James Barrow. Upon seeing the rat, James Barrow says "Satan, thou must be burned in hell fire, and all that do obey thee." The child rehearses these words over and over. He also claims the rat told him to "go up stairs, and play with his pretty Rat there." James Barrow often listens, and goes up the stairs, where a "little box with single money in it," would be forced out of his hand. The child was also observed to say "I will not sing, I will sing," but he would sing nonetheless. (7)

An apparition in the form of a "little child," who appears to the Hooper household after it is visited by a monster in the shape of a bear (Anonymous 245). Margaret Hooper, who is allegedly bewitched, goes to prayer with the rest of her household after the monster leaves, but is suddenly overtaken by an evil spirit (Anonymous 248) and wraps herself around the post of a window, while a fire burns at her feet, "the stink whereof was horrible." Her husband, Stephen Hooper and his brother try to take her off the window, asking the Lord to help them. Immediately after this, Margaret Hooper claims she can see a little child, Anonymous 246, out of the window. The entire household looks out the window, and see the child who is "with a very bright shinning countenance," and who enters the chamber, outshining the candle there. The household falls "flat to the ground," in thankful prayers to God that he had helped them, and the child vanishes. However, Margaret Hooper is dispossessed. Anonymous 246 cast out the evil spirit (Anonymous 248) living within her. (5 - 6)
