MONSTROUS BAT
"She affirm'd,
and her good neighbours likewise, that it had been borne to her, and
took oath that she did not know by what manner it had come upon her,
for it was neither Beast nor Man but like to a monstrous Bat with
human face. It made no sound but look'd at all and sundry with baleful
eyes. There were those who swore that it bore a frightful resemblance
to the Face of one long dead, one Richard Bellingham or Bollinhan
who is affirm'd to have vanished utterly after consort with Daemons in
the country of New Dunnich. The horrible Beast-Man was examined by the
Court of Azzizes and the which then burnt by Order of the High-Sherif
on the 5th of June in the year 1788."
