The lubber fiend, Lob, lubberkin, lurdane or Lob Lie-By-The-Fire was a legendary creature of English folklore that was similar in attributes to the “brownie” (or “Urisk”) of Scotland and northern England, the “hob” of northern England and the Scotish Borders, the Slavic “domovoi” and Scandinavian “tomte”. It has been related also to Robin Goodfellow, and Hobgoblins. It is best known for being mentioned by John Milton. It is generally connected with the north of England.
He is typically described as a large, hairy man with a tail, who performs housework in exchange for a saucer of milk and a place in front of the fire. One story claims he is the giant son of a witch and the Devil.
He is a very similar figure to Robin Goodfellow, a.k.a. Puck. Indeed on Puck, a moon of Uranus, there is a crater named “Lob”, in keeping with the system of nomenclature on this satellite, whose features are all named after various mischievous spirits.
Working as a Manager for Uhaul, when I do get spare time I sit with my ouija board, do as many paranormal investigations as I can, and research everything and anything paranormal. I am also very interested in railroads and model trains in general.
