'''''The Ghouls of Grestonspey''''' was a short story in the ''[[Doctor Who Annual 1971]]''. Its portrayal of [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|the Brigadier]], or as he was known in parts of this story, "the [[UNIT]] Commander", was odd. He got angry quickly and insulted his soldiers when they were clearly fear-ridden. He also showed little concern for the [[Third Doctor]]'s welfare, trusting him to solve his own problems when he was kidnapped. Likewise, the Doctor was angry, thinking himself too good to be taken prisoner. | '''''The Ghouls of Grestonspey''''' was a short story in the ''[[Doctor Who Annual 1971]]''.

A [[Zeld]] approaches the cage and ignores the Doctor's questions as that of an animal. He gives orders and talks about the [[Proto]]s, the grey lights. They feed on mental energy and the Zeld assist them in doing so. The Doctor attacks the Zeld leader and escapes to the surface, having found himself to be underground.
