A deformed infant born of a well appareled young woman (Anonymous 94) staying in Goodwife Watts' house. The child was born with no head, but two faces, with one "visibly to be seene, directly placed in the breast, where it had a nose, and mouth, and two holes for two eyes, but no eyes." The second face "was not perfectly to be seene, but retained a proportion of flesh in a great round lump." This deformed figure horrified the women attending the birth. (4-6)

A disfigured baby born of Margaret Mere of Maidstone, Kent. The baby is born "being a man child [and] had first the mouth slitted on the right side like a Libardes mouth, " with "the left arme lying vpon the brest [...] hauing as it were stumps on the handes." Additionally, the baby's left leg was "growing vpward toward the head, and the ryght led bending toward the left leg [and] the foote thereof growing into the buttocke of the sayd left leg. In the midst of the backe there was a broade lump of flesh in fasion like a Rose." The baby's deformities are attributed to the child's illegitimacy and its mother's wickedness. The baby only lives for twenty three hours (1)

A male baby, born of Anthony Smith's wife, that has no limbs or tongue. Upon its birth, the baby had "neyther hande, foote, leege, nor arme, but on the left syde it hath a Stumpe growynge out of the shoulder, and the ende thereof is rounde, and not so long as it should go to the elbowe, and on the ryghte syde no mencion of any thing where any arme should be, but a litel stumpe of one ynche in length." The baby is said to be cursed by its illegitimacy, with both its mother and father being married and having had children previously with other people. (1)

A stillborn baby born of a young woman (Anonymous 20). The baby "was born, but dead, and there it was shewed, and from thence caryed into the Church-yard a day or two after, and there buried." The baby was considered a monster, likely because of an unmentioned deformity. (4)

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)

Although the baby is born alive, it soon died after birth, although its mother continued to live. (4-5)

A monster found by John Vandael of Amersfoort inside the entrails of a dead cow. The monster has a head "like an Otters head, but rounder; it had the nose and mouth of a man, but eares like vnto a Dogge, yet the shape of the eyes resembled much a mans." Additionally, the monster also has "a huge long tongue, like vnto a Cow or some other beast of that kinde," as well as a "fleshy colour" and a mouth "all growne about with hayre." (9-10)

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.

One of four spirits appearing on the North bank of the river Ribble, and known to be black in appearance, stand upright but look unlike a man in the face. According to Grace Sowerbutts, these spirits were participants in witches' meetings, along with Grace, her grandmother Jennet Bierley, her aunt Ellen Bierley and Jane Southworth. They carried the women across the Ribble river, feasted on strange meat with them, and danced with them. After the dancing, Grace claimed that "the said black things did pull downe the said three Women, and did abuse their bodies, as this Examinate thinketh, for shee saith, that the black thing that was with her, did abuse her bodie." (K4v, L2v)

A monstrous evil spirit, is possibly the Devil, who appears in the middle of the night to Stephen Hooper, the entire household, and his bewitched wife Margaret Hooper (who has predicted the devil's arrival). Before it appears, the household hears "a great noise in the street, as if it had beene the comming of foure or five carts." Then, suddenly, upon looking up, Stephen Hooper sees something coming towards the bed, "much like a beare," but without a head or a tail, and much larger in size. At first, Stephen Hooper tries to fight off the monster by throwing a stool at it, but it simply bounces off it as if it were a "feather bed." The monster then turns towards Margaret Hooper, and "strokes her" (or hits her) on the foot three times. It then takes her out of the bed and rolls her around the chamber and under the bed. Finally, the apparition causes Margaret Hooper to put her head between her legs, and rolls her around like a hoop through the house and down the stairs. Her husband does not dare go after at her, but instead weeps to see her carried away. The hall was filled with "an horrible stinke [...] and such fiery flames." Eventually, Margaret Hooper calls out to her husband, claiming the spirit is gone, and she comes up the stairs back to him. Together, with the rest of the household, Stephen and Margaret Hooper pray.
