While the baby at first appeared healthy, people continued to hear the cry for three days. The cry only stopped when the baby died. Sandles notes that the weather was apparently fine, which rules out atmospheric causes for the cry (2016). Was it just a coincidence? He also notes that three weeks earlier, a man taking photos by the river narrowly avoided being swept away. Sandles wonders if the river compensated for this loss with the baby.

The name was immortalised in ballad form in 1801 by Clemens Brentano. In it, a beautiful woman named Lore Lay lived in the area. Her lover betrays her by accusing her of bewitching men with her beautiful singing voice. Tim Sandles makes the point that the River Dart can end up swollen, and if it coincides with a north westerly wind, the river seems to cry. People think the river spirit cries when it claims its annual life (2016).

Eventually, the worm grew to mammoth proportions and became the Lambton Worm. Lorelei and the Rhine
