The Book of Dreams and Ghosts

"All
Christmas
eve
Glam
did
not
return,
and
in
the
morning
men
went
to
look
for
him.
They
found
the
sheep
scattered
in
the
fens,
beaten
down
by
the
storm,
or
up
on
the
hills.
Thereafter
they
came
to
a
place
in
the
valley
where
the
snow
was
all
trampled,
as
if
there
had
been
a
terrible
struggle
there,
for
stones
and
frozen
earth
were
torn
up
all
round
about.
They
looked
carefully
round
the
place,
and
found
Glam
lying
a
short
distance
off,
quite
dead.
He
was
black
in
colour,
and
swollen
up
as
big
as
an
ox.
They
were
horrified
at
the
sight,
and
shuddered
in
their
hearts.
However,
they
tried
to
carry
him
to
the
church,
but
could
get
him
no
further
than
to
the
edge
of
a
cleft,
a
little
lower
down;
so
they
left
him
there
and
went
home
and
told
their
master
what
had
happened.
"Thorhall
asked
them
what
had
been
the
cause
of
Glam's
death.
They
said
that
they
had
traced
footprints
as
large
as
though
the
bottom
of
a
cask
had
been
set
down
in
the
snow
leading
from
where
the
trampled
place
was
up
to
the
cliffs
at
the
head
of
the
valley,
and
all
along
the
track
there
were
huge
blood-stains.
From
this
they
guessed
that
the
evil
spirit
which
lived
there
must
have
killed
Glam,
but
had
received
so
much
hurt
that
it
had
died,
for
nothing
was
ever
seen
of
it
after.
"The
second
day
of
Christmas
they
tried
again
to
bring
Glam
to
the
church.
They
yoked
horses
to
him,
but
after
they
had
come
down
the
slope
and
reached
level
ground
they
could
drag
him
no
further,
and
he
had
to
be
left
there.
