	Some superstitious locals would have questioned his choice of route, but John was not bothered by silly ancient legends. The tale of the Evil Gnome of Clayton Hill was common knowledge in local folklore. The rhyme went:		Some superstitious locals would have questioned his choice of route, but John was not bothered by silly ancient legends. The tale of the Evil Gnome of Clayton Hill was common knowledge in local folklore. The rhyme went:

			<poem>
	“On this long and lonely lane,		“On this long and lonely lane,

	you will find the Evil Gnome,		you will find the Evil Gnome,

	and when you finally see him,		and when you finally see him,

	you will wish you stayed at home…		you will wish you stayed at home…

	On this long and lonely lane,		On this long and lonely lane,

	you will find the Evil Gnome,		you will find the Evil Gnome,

	and when you finally meet him,		and when you finally meet him,

	you will wish you died alone!”		you will wish you died alone!”
			</poem>

	John remembered the stories from when he was a child. His Grandfather would come up stairs to tell him a ghost story before bedtime, much to John’s mother’s disapproval, but the Grandfather always maintained he spoke the truth. The legend ran that the Evil Gnome was the ghost of a deformed hermit who lived on the Hill and had been burnt alive by the villagers for suspected witchcraft in the 17th century. Since his execution, the hermit’s ghost was alleged to have started abducting children who strayed too far from home at night, draining their souls and leaving their bodies lifeless husks. Adults caught on the Hill after dark could be driven insane by his appearance, fleeing in terror over the hill. They were usually found the next day, lying dead in a ditch, their necks broken, or so the legend told. The sceptical believed that these latter victims were simply drunks who stumbled over the numerous rocky outcrops and fell to their deaths at night.
