            | Abstract |  
            | By a construction of Berstein and Edmonds every proper branched cover
 
 between manifolds is a factor of a branched covering orbit map from a locally
 connected and locally compact Hausdorff space called the monodromy space of
 
 to the target manifold. For proper branched covers between
 
-manifolds
 the monodromy space is known to be a manifold. We show that this does not generalize to
 dimension 
 by constructing a self-map of the 3-sphere for which the monodromy space is not a
 locally contractible space.
