Scottish Ghost Story
Lilburne was granted some lands of the Duke of Hamilton in Scotland in 1655. There is a traditional story that the ghost of his wife "Lady Alice" haunts one of the Duke's houses, Kinneil House, although evidence that Lilburne was ever married to an Alice appears to be lacking.

“A fig for
The seal of fire,
Death hairy-heeled, and the tapped ghost in wood,
We make me mystic as the arm of air,
The two-a-vein, the foreskin, and the cloud.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“Man is eminently a storyteller. His search for a purpose, a cause, an ideal, a mission and the like is largely a search for a plot and a pattern in the development of his life story—a story that is basically without meaning or pattern.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
