In [[2016]] a female spider and her baby fell through a [[Coal Hill Space-Time Rift|tear]] in space-time, and ended up in an old stone house.

Amira became trapped in the spider's webbing, which made her invisible to others. She could break out of the webbing if she wished, but any attempts to leave the house and the spiders would created more webbing to trap her. Yana would appear to Amira sometimes, usually in a spectral form as she re-lived past memories. Over the years, the spiders changed Yana's form to suit that of what many urban legends stated which was that the house was haunted by a faceless [[ghost]]. Eventually Yana would appear to both Amira and outsiders as a ghost with no face. Amira reached out to [[Tanya Adeola]] and she felt drawn to the house too, in the same way that Amira was. Tanya investigated with the rest of the [[Coal Hill defenders]], and the spiders tried to trap her too but were brought to an end resulting in Amira's rescue ([[PROSE]]: [[The Stone House (novel)|''The Stone House'']])

Bone spiders were sentient arachnids.

Appearance[[edit] | [edit source]]

Bone spiders were huge white spider-like creatures of bleached bone. They had eight legs, eight white eyes and distended abdomen. Unlike Earth spiders, their eyes had eyelids that closed with a bone tick resembling a camera shutter. Bone spiders possessed scary fangs.

Abilities[[edit] | [edit source]]

Bone spiders could make dreams, memories and fears tangible, down to the smells. They could not distinguish between good dreams and nightmares. A touch of a person the nightmare originated from turned it into dust.

The spiders could not talk but could communicate by dreamweaving images and scenes.

Bone spiders could also create a thin layer of web around a person that would make them invisible and inaudible to others. Two individuals both rendered invisible, however, could communicate to each other and see and hear the rest of the world without difficulty. Even so, the spiders could conceal themselves also from people rendered invisible. The visibility could be restored by cleaning the spiderwebs away, but it took a lot of time.

Their spiderwebs of bone spiders could also be visible and as thick as football socks. They could be spun very quickly and prevent doors and windows from opening. They were also used to quickly cocoon a person completely immobilising them.

Individual representatives[[edit] | [edit source]]

A female bone spider fell through a tear in space-time and lived in Alice Parsons' house at least since the 1990s. In 2015 she gave birth to a baby. (PROSE: The Stone House)
