hey im asking people who've seen coraline what the definition of a beldam is, i heard there was a legend or myth about it but all i could find was that it means an ugly old woman, and that just ISNT GOOD ENOUGH!

Did you try google?
The Other Mother or The Beldam – The creature that created much of the 'Other' world for her own entertainment. She is almost identical to Coraline's real mother but taller and thinner, with long black hair that seems to move by itself, black button eyes, paper-white skin, and extremely long, twitchy fingers with long dark red nails. It is likely she uses energy from the love of previous target children to take the shape of her current target's real mother. She cannot create, but only copy, twist and change things from the real world when constructing her version of it. She collects children, with whom she quickly becomes bored or frustrated, and imprisons them behind a magical mirror, slowly sucking the life from them; she intends to do the same with Coraline. She is referred to several times as "the beldam", an archaic word meaning "hag/witch". (Actually it's an old Middle English word meaning "Grandmother" or "Old Woman".)
