A short illustrated essay by Brian Lemin (October 2010, version 2) that retells East Devon folklore about lace makers, ghosts and smugglers around Branscombe and Beer. It covers the truck system of paying lace makers in goods, frightening night walks home along Devon lanes, the 'Black Rabbit' exorcism, and the smuggling of lace by Jack Rattenbury's crew. It ends with the author explaining that he used the story to illustrate two East Devon lace bobbins he calls 'Ghosts', shown in photographs.
