There was a child's body found, it doesn't say whether it was a boy or a girl, whose death is laid to Lady March. And people in the area have also started to disappear, which is also put down to her doings.

There is also an explanation in the book for the book's title. Her house, Diana's Grove (called Temple House in the film) was less formally known as The Lair of the White Worm.
