Coming up in this episode, one of

1:40

our weird old family members is asked

1:42

if I would not consider doing an episode

1:44

on man's best friend. But

1:46

as this is weird darkness, I couldn't

1:49

very well just pull bunch of stories of

1:51

dogs, saving lives, have lost children

1:53

or walking hundreds miles back

1:55

to their families after being left behind on

1:57

a trip or solving a crime by

2:00

sniffing out drugs at an airport. So

2:03

in this episode, we're talking about

2:05

dogs of the supernatural

2:07

kind. The ghostly ducks,

2:09

the specters, and phantoms in

2:12

canine form. If you're

2:14

2:34

bolt your doors, lock your

2:39

and come with me into

2:41

the weird darkness. The

2:59

ghost of John Tralego has the impossible

3:02

task of emptying a lake

3:04

with a small shell riddled

3:06

with holes. And

3:08

should he feel like escaping? The

3:10

phantom pack of dogs will soon

3:12

drive him back. It

3:14

said that you can hear them banging almost

3:17

any night on the lonely wastes of

3:19

cornwall's boatman moor, a

3:21

dough a mostly pack of huge hounds

3:24

forever in pursuit of their quarry. But

3:27

terrifying though they may sound. The

3:29

passing stranger has nothing to fear.

3:32

Or the demon dogs are chasing someone

3:34

as ghostly as themselves. His

3:37

name is or was John

3:39

Traigail, and he's paying

3:41

for the crimes that he committed during

3:44

his life. Whether

3:46

one believes in ghosts or not.

3:48

A man named John Tregagel undoubtedly

3:51

did live in Cornwall during

3:53

the early part of the seventeenth century.

3:56

According to legend, he not only murdered

3:58

his wife and children, but used his

4:00

position as a magistrate to

4:03

escape detection and mask a

4:05

fortunate unfairly confiscated from

4:07

other people's estates. As

4:10

his life drew to a close, Tregigal

4:12

seems to have grown apprehensive about

4:14

his chances of being admitted to heaven.

4:16

And he gave away enormous sums

4:19

to the church in the hope that

4:21

it would allow him to rest in peace.

4:24

The account Citrix' ghost date

4:26

from shortly after his death,

4:28

and no other British phantom can

4:30

claim quite such a complicated legend

4:33

to account for it. According to

4:35

Cornishman, Tregagel's desperate

4:37

gifts to the church were in vain,

4:39

and shortly after his death, a defendant

4:42

in a court case succeeded in

4:44

calling up his ghost as a reluctant

4:46

witness. Calling

4:48

up John Tragigal was one thing, but

4:50

getting rid of him once the case was

4:52

over was another. After

4:55

having tried in vain to make him

4:57

go away, the local wise man decided

4:59

the safest course was to keep their

5:01

unwelcome visitor so busy

5:04

that he wouldn't have time to cause trouble.

5:06

Accordingly, they thought up a task that

5:08

was calculated to daunt even the

5:10

hardest working of ghosts. Trogarzo

5:13

was given a seashell riddled

5:15

with holes, in order to use

5:17

that as a SCOOP, with which

5:19

to empty a deep lake in the middle

5:21

of Bodman Moore, while a

5:23

terrible pack of demon dogs stood

5:26

guard over him. The ghost

5:28

of the wicked magistrate is still

5:30

hard at work today. Although he

5:32

is frequently driven to distraction by

5:34

the impossible task and

5:36

runs away, only to be rounded

5:38

up by his savage dog guardians.

5:42

Another version of Tregigal's everlasting

5:44

punishment has him moving all the

5:46

sand from one cornish bay to another.

5:49

While the swift moving currents in those

5:51

parts promptly undo his

5:53

work by moving it all back again.

5:56

The legend of John Trogegal calls to

5:58

mind similar stories from other

6:00

parts of the world. The tale of the

6:02

wandering Jew, and that of the flying

6:04

Dutchman, both feature men who

6:06

are trapped on earth forever. Unable

6:08

to find peace as they suffer

6:10

a consequence of what they did while

6:12

they were alive. Unlike

6:15

most accounts of hauntings, there is never any

6:17

attempt to make the story of Joncher Gagell

6:19

even remotely believable. That

6:22

the man himself was a real person

6:24

is beyond question. It is only

6:26

his adventures as an earthbound

6:28

spirit. That one dismisses as

6:30

folklore. The real ghosts

6:33

are the phantom dogs, and it

6:35

seems likely that Trigga's adventures

6:37

have only been introduced in

6:39

order to account for them. Accounts

6:42

of spectral dogs turn up with

6:44

extraordinary regularity in

6:46

Britain. Which at first sight

6:48

is curious. A nation

6:51

known throughout the world for its liking

6:53

of dogs might he expected

6:55

to choose some other kind of supernatural

6:57

animal to dread. But

7:00

both cornwall and East Anglia

7:02

are well haunted by dogs that

7:04

not only look horrifying, but

7:06

are often thought to be harbinger of

7:08

doom into the bargain. Norfolk

7:10

is a flat county, thinly

7:13

populated with mile upon mile

7:15

of lonely coastline bordering

7:17

the gray North Sea. And anyone

7:19

who walks along along the northern

7:22

coast road between Austin

7:24

and Cromer, has to be very

7:26

unimaginative not to think of the

7:28

possibility of meeting the black shuck.

7:31

Black Shuck, by the way, is a huge

7:33

black ghost of a dog who haunts

7:35

that road, loping along it

7:37

in a special lazy truck.

7:39

He's been seen so often and for

7:41

so long that the expression, Chuck

7:44

Trot, has entered the local language

7:46

to describe this particular stealthy

7:49

movement Sometimes he

7:51

announces his arrival with an appalling

7:53

howl, but most often

7:55

than not, he just loops along

7:57

silently. Norfolk

7:59

fishermen believe that anyone who meets

8:01

Black Shuck will die within a

8:03

year of seeing it. The

8:05

most fanciful versions of this four legged

8:07

ghost credited with having eyes as

8:09

big as saucers, but generally, Chuck

8:11

is accepted as being remarkably like

8:13

any other large black hound.

8:16

The fact that so many fishermen believe

8:18

in him is accounted for by the

8:20

fact that Chuck is thought to have lived his

8:22

non ghostly life as a fisherman's

8:24

dog. During a

8:26

storm, two men lost their lives at

8:28

sea and their bodies were washed up on the

8:30

beach several miles apart.

8:32

One man was buried at Hunston

8:35

and the other at Cromer.

8:37

Unknown to anyone, one of the dead

8:39

men had been accompanied by his

8:41

dog. And the animal managed to swim

8:43

ashore, half dead from

8:45

exhaustion.

8:46

When it recovered, it was unable to tell

8:48

which grave belonged to his master.

8:51

And so he pads along the country

8:53

road

8:53

forever, visiting first

8:56

one churchyard and then

8:58

the other. If one

8:59

really believes and ghosts,

9:02

this would appear to be a reasonable

9:04

enough explanation. But if

9:06

one goes far enough back, into

9:08

the history of Norfolk. One

9:10

recognizes Black Shuck as a

9:12

very early European import.

9:15

Shuck almost certainly is derived

9:17

from the angle Saxon word,

9:19

Scucca, meaning a demon.

9:21

The Saxons always associated

9:24

demon dogs with death and

9:26

old sayings such as the black

9:29

dog is at its heels meant

9:31

that a person was

9:33

dying. We'll

13:17

Throughout history, the multicultural

13:20

phenomenon of large

13:22

supernatural black dogs have

13:24

appeared in legends. Focalore,

13:26

and numerous modern eye

13:28

witness reports.characteristically, these

13:31

phantom canines are larger than most

13:33

ordinary dogs, and are always

13:35

black in color with fiery

13:37

red eyes. They usually

13:39

appear for only a few moments, then

13:41

vanish into thin air. Sometimes

13:43

they're benevolent. But more often

13:45

than not, they are sinister and

13:47

vicious. Sometimes called

13:49

hellhound fans and dogs are

13:51

usually associated with

13:53

death or the devil. Some

13:55

claim these dogs accompany a black

13:57

roamed figure assumed to be

13:59

the devil. Others believe the

14:01

animals are shape shifters, a

14:03

disguise of the devil. Whatever

14:06

name you wish to call them, Large black

14:08

dogs with fiery red

14:10

eyes reportedly raided European

14:12

churches several times during the

14:14

Middle Ages. They would

14:16

enter a church service usually

14:18

during a severe storm and

14:20

appear to be searching for something

14:22

or someone. And on August

14:24

fourth, fifteen seventy seven

14:26

in Bunge, England, a large

14:28

black dog ran down the isle of

14:30

a church killed two

14:32

people in attendance and badly

14:34

injured another. Many people

14:36

report ghostly canines

14:38

crossing roads in front of cars, than

14:40

vanishing into thin air as the car

14:42

approaches. Numerous

14:45

black dog sightings occur in

14:47

cemeteries of America as well.

14:49

And some speculate the phantom

14:51

creatures patrol and protect the graves of the

14:53

dead. These sightings appear

14:55

to be concentrated in New England.

14:58

Legends of headless or limbless

15:00

graveyard dogs surround slave

15:02

cenitaries in the south. While

15:04

most encounters with these dogs dogs are of

15:06

a vicious nature, some

15:08

mourners have claimed to have been comforted

15:10

by these creatures. A

15:12

particularly

15:13

interesting legend of a supernatural

15:16

black dog is found in the high

15:18

altitude forests of Hanging Hills,

15:20

Connecticut. A friendly

15:22

small dog is blamed for the

15:24

deaths of several experienced hikers

15:26

and climbers in the area. Local

15:29

legend warns if a man

15:31

shall meet the black dog once,

15:33

it shall be for joy.

15:35

And if twice, it shall be for

15:37

sorrow. And the third time,

15:39

he shall die. Although

15:41

this sounds like a local legend to

15:43

add mystery to the already spooky

15:45

landscape, or to explain the tragedies

15:48

of those who have died in the hills

15:50

documented encounters with the

15:52

dog suggests there is

15:54

truth behind the warnings. In

15:56

the early nineteen hundreds, a geologist

15:59

WHC Pension, encountered the

16:01

little black dog and found it

16:03

to be a good company while hiking.

16:06

Tensions second encounter what the dog was

16:08

with a friend who had seen the dog on

16:10

two occasions. They were

16:12

climbing to the summit of peak and was

16:14

surprised to find the little black dog

16:16

waiting for them. It's soundlessly

16:18

barked and pension's friend suddenly

16:20

lost his footing. And

16:22

plunged to his

16:23

death. That was his

16:25

friend's third encounter with the

16:27

mysterious black

16:28

dog. Pincheon soon learned of

16:30

the legend, the Black Dog, and related

16:32

his story to the Connecticut quarterly.

16:35

Surprisingly, Pincheon returned to

16:37

the hanging hills a few years

16:39

later, and his body

16:41

was later found near the same place

16:43

his friend had

16:44

died. Many

16:45

speculate that pension encounter the little dog

16:48

a third and final time. There's

16:50

a similar

16:51

phenomenon known as banshee

16:54

dogs. Banches are spirits found

16:56

in Celtic lore, which appear to

16:58

people as an omen of impending

17:00

death, or often are only heard

17:02

wailing loudly after someone

17:04

is side. Several reports depict

17:06

banshees appearing in the form of

17:08

an ordinary dog. One

17:10

day a large, friendly German shepherd

17:13

appeared in the backyard of an elderly

17:15

Massachusetts couple. No

17:17

one saw it arrive, but the

17:19

grandchildren began playing with the dog

17:21

and it seemed happy to stay with them, refusing

17:23

to leave the property and staying close

17:25

by the grandfather's

17:26

side. Soon

17:29

after the appearance of the strange

17:31

dog, the grandfather suffered a heart

17:33

attack and after spending several

17:35

days in the hospital was beginning

17:37

to fully

17:38

recover. At

17:38

home however, the dog

17:41

grew more and more agitated

17:43

and moned loudly, unable

17:45

to be comforted. Unexpectedly,

17:46

the grandfather suffered a second heart

17:49

attack and died.

17:50

A mysterious dog disappeared while

17:52

the family was at the funeral.

17:54

And was never seen or heard from

17:57

again. Some reports

17:59

of black dogs, however

18:02

sketchy, have been associated with big cat sightings in

18:04

England and in even fewer

18:05

cases, UFOs.

18:07

However, in most reports

18:10

of Phantom Dogs, they exhibit

18:12

supernatural abilities that suggest they

18:14

are more than a stray animal.

18:16

Dogs have always played a large role

18:18

in ancient religions, the

18:20

Jackals of Egypt and Cerberus of Greek

18:23

Roman literature, and their image

18:25

and symbolism are reflected in

18:27

modern times. Primarily

18:30

associated with British legends, stories

18:32

about black dogs, ghost dogs,

18:34

or

18:34

hellhounds, are present in almost

18:37

every region of the world.

18:38

Perhaps the first things to come to your

18:41

mind when thinking of eerie ghost

18:43

dogs are evil images,

18:45

death omens or even the two

18:47

headed dogs a Cerberus from Greek mythology. The

18:49

immense popularity of dog legends

18:51

is not a surprise, since dogs

18:53

were humanity's first domesticated animals,

18:57

The man dog partnership has been traced back

18:59

to the paleolithic era and has

19:01

lasted for thousands of years.

19:04

No other place in the world holds more legends

19:06

or sightings or legendary black

19:09

dogs than the United Kingdom.

19:11

Each region might even

19:13

have its own version of the

19:15

tail with different names given to the

19:17

black dogs too, such

19:19

as black shuck, the gurt dog,

19:22

pad foot, our

19:24

guests, the Harry Hound, the Yeth

19:26

Hound, and the Grim. Like

19:28

most legends, the origin of this one is

19:30

hard to establish. Mark Norman,

19:32

who's been researching the legend of

19:34

black dogs in England for many

19:37

has traced the earliest accounts in English literature

19:39

dating back to eleven twenty seven.

19:42

According to Norman's studies,

19:44

black dogs can take different

19:46

forms, but a few common traits

19:48

are present in all descriptions.

19:50

They are very large creatures

19:53

with shaggy coats and big glowing

19:55

eyes usually red in color.

19:58

Different details make the

20:00

dogs unique such as having a

20:02

chain around their necks. Being

20:04

headless or even having human

20:07

faces. Some legends describe the

20:09

ghost dogs as huge, even

20:11

as big as a house. Others

20:13

say they walk on their hind legs.

20:15

The dark beasts are notorious

20:17

for disappearing into a mist and

20:19

leaving no trace of their eerie visits.

20:23

Although these supernatural animals are

20:25

most often depicted as malevolent

20:27

creatures bringing bad luck,

20:29

black dogs have also had

20:31

benevolent connotations. As

20:33

protective spirits attached to a

20:35

family or a location such

20:37

as roads. One

20:39

benevolent legend involving a black dog

20:41

is told by Johnny Greenwood from

20:43

Swoncliff. The man described

20:45

being followed by a black dog while

20:47

walking at night in the woods. The

20:49

creature remained by his side until he

20:51

emerged out from the trees.

20:53

Years later, two prisoners confessed

20:55

that they wanted to rob and

20:58

murder Johnny during that night in the

20:59

woods, but they decided otherwise

21:02

after noticing the presence of the big black

21:04

dog accompanying him. James

21:06

Barnes relates another very

21:09

popular black dog story from Dark

21:11

Moore. On Dark

21:13

Moore, The notorious squire Cable was said to have

21:15

been a huntsman who sold his soul to

21:17

the devil. When he died in sixteen

21:20

seventy seven, black hounds are said

21:22

to have appeared around his burial

21:24

chamber. The ghostly huntsman is said

21:26

to ride with the black dogs. This

21:28

tale inspired Arthur Conan Doyle to write

21:30

his well known story, the hound of

21:33

the supervillains. Let's

21:35

just say that it's better to never

21:37

have an encounter with a ghost dog

21:39

because most often there is

21:41

nothing you can do to stop the

21:43

creature if it is out to do you harm. There

21:45

are ways to ward off the

21:47

malevolent beings, but these tend to

21:49

be

21:49

vague. In regions dominated by

21:52

the Christian faith, it said that simply wearing

21:54

a cross or having a picture of a saint

21:56

would be enough to keep the black dog

21:59

away. Other superstitions involve

22:01

carrying a coffin nail,

22:03

sprinkling fresh water on the ground

22:05

behind you as you

22:06

walk, or keeping a pair of iron scissors

22:09

with you.

22:09

In addition, it's sad that you should avoid

22:12

crossroads, moving bodies of

22:14

water such as rivers and

22:16

streams, woods or long stretches

22:18

of field. Those restrictions wouldn't

22:20

have made travel near impossible

22:22

in the past. There are

22:24

so many Black Dog Legends that you

22:26

could easily indulge yourself for

22:29

years in the richness of those

22:31

tales. For those who are

22:33

interested in knowing more about other legends

22:35

involving ghost dogs, there

22:37

are some more regions to look

22:39

into. Guardian hounds and Shamanic

22:41

lore, Welsh legends, Finnish

22:44

mythology, Northern European myths, Asian

22:47

legends, Greek myths, stories in

22:49

almost every region of the United

22:51

Kingdom, myths involving the

22:53

constellation, canis and the

22:55

star Syria. And the legendary creatures presence and

22:57

pop culture such as the Harry

22:59

Potter

22:59

character, Sirius Black, and let's

23:01

not forget the Hellhound's on the TV

23:04

show supernatural.

23:05

Many scholars have attempted to explain the

23:07

reasons behind Black Dog Legends and

23:09

their popularity across the

23:12

globe. Their interpretations range

23:14

from lessons and folkloric tales

23:16

to unknown phenomena described by

23:18

artists and

23:19

ancestors.

23:20

No one can

23:20

provide one answer encompassing all

23:23

the legends perfectly. From

23:24

the beginning of our history,

23:27

humans have been endangered by

23:29

wolves which were much larger than their

23:31

domesticated cousins in most locations around

23:33

the world. This could explain them

23:35

the level in nature of some ghost

23:38

dog tales their reputation

23:40

as hellhound. Other

23:42

reasons might be associated with

23:44

stories told the children in order to prevent

23:46

them from wandering around in

23:48

dangerous places. Another explanation

23:50

is related to hidden dangers

23:52

of smuggling routes. All

23:56

or none of these could explain the

23:58

local Black Dog Legend closest

24:00

to you. Whether they

24:02

bring good or evil tidings,

24:04

Black Dog stories are still present and thriving

24:06

all over the world. Throughout

24:09

the Celtic lands, there are

24:11

many stories of ghosts. K

24:13

nine and otherwise. Usually

24:15

the disembodied soul or spirit of

24:17

a person, but these tales of the unexpected can

24:19

also be about various other animals.

24:22

One of which is that of the

24:24

Modi dew, which is the manks gaelic

24:26

name for Black Dog. A

24:29

Phantom Blackhound that

24:31

reputedly haunts the ruins of Piel Castle on the West

24:33

Coast of the Isle of Man.

24:35

One famous story about the Modi coup

24:37

involves the soldiers in

24:39

the past were responsible for guarding and securing the

24:42

castle. Even in those

24:44

days, the Modi Du was known about

24:46

and feared and the

24:48

soldiers would always travel in

24:50

pairs to safeguard against the dreaded

24:52

hound. However, one

24:54

night in sixteen sixty six, soldier

24:57

emboldened by the false courage of

24:59

alcohol, decided to undertake the task

25:01

on his own. He

25:03

ridiculed the concerns of his colleagues

25:05

who pleaded with him not to go alone.

25:07

The other soldiers became increasingly

25:10

concerned when he failed to

25:12

return. Eventually, they heard a blood curdling scream,

25:14

but were too frightened to come to

25:16

the aid of their stricken comrade.

25:19

They knew it was the fearsome Modi dew ghost

25:21

dog that had the soldier at his mercy.

25:24

After a short time, the

25:26

door burst open and the lone soldier who now stood

25:29

before them was almost unrecognizable.

25:32

His look of terror spoke

25:34

volumes. His eyes wide with terror,

25:36

his face, a deathly power.

25:38

His clothes were ripped to shreds,

25:40

and he was covered in blood.

25:43

He did not say anything of his experience

25:45

and sat silently in front of

25:47

the

25:47

fire. There he remained, not

25:50

moving or speaking.

25:52

Three days later, he died.

25:55

Some say the Modi dew

25:57

still roams the grounds and

25:59

hidden passages of Pio

26:01

Castle. We'll

26:07

get back to the undead dogs

26:09

when weird darkness returns.

Hey weirdos. Well, the holidays are upon

27:58

us. And one of the traditions here at

28:00

WeirdDarkness is Christmas specials.

28:03

Just like watching Charlie Brown Rudolph,

28:05

28:07

and Kevin McAlister every year, we have

28:09

our holiday specials too. First

28:12

off, spooky say I returns with holiday chillers for kids

28:15

every day through Christmas Eve. My

28:17

partnership with author Sylvia Schultz also

28:19

returns with the twelve nightmares of

28:22

Christmas, holiday horrors also returns

28:24

with more terrifying stories that take

28:26

place around the holidays. On Christmas

28:28

day, it's my duration of the entire

28:30

novel a Christmas Carol by Charles

28:32

Dickens. So if you're like a little horror in your

28:34

holidays, some perturbation in plum

28:36

pudding. If you like frighten your

28:38

festivities, terror in your tree, nervousness

28:40

in your noelle, and cruel in

28:42

your ewel, then be sure to come back

28:44

every day for more episodes. And be sure

28:46

to tell your friends and family as well so

28:48

they can get creeped out at Christmas too.

28:50

Happy holidays and never every Christmas from

28:52

weird darkness. We

29:17

spent most all of our time in Europe, but

29:19

as mentioned, the black dogs do show

29:21

up in North America as

29:24

well. Legends of black dogs and

29:26

phantom hounds are widespread

29:28

throughout the Chesapeake Bay region, which was

29:30

one of the earliest areas settled

29:32

by the English. Attails of British black dogs were

29:35

combined with werewolf traditions

29:37

and typical ghost stories, as

29:39

well as possibly with

29:41

crypto zoological sightings of weird

29:44

creatures to create a tradition that

29:46

is like the British ones and yet

29:48

unlike them at the

29:50

same time. The tiny village of Warfieldsburg

29:52

and Carol County is haunted by

29:54

a black dog. Recounted

29:56

by Maryland folklorists, NAW

29:59

Whitney, and Caroline Sea

30:01

Bullock is the story of two men who were

30:03

riding along near the Orbe Mine

30:05

Bridge at dusk around eighteen eighty

30:07

seven. They saw a large black

30:09

dog which passed the defense,

30:11

crossed the road and passed

30:13

through another fence. Whitney and Bullock

30:15

also recount the tale of a man who stood under

30:18

a tree near a bridge, possibly the

30:20

ore mine bridge because he was told

30:22

a phantom black dog would

30:24

come by. The dog appeared and

30:26

according to him, the dog followed him for

30:28

a brief time before vanishing.

30:30

Yet another instance, was of

30:32

a man who saw a black dog dragging a length of

30:35

chain. This black dog can

30:37

apparently never appear more than

30:39

once to the same person. And

30:41

it said that the crack of a whip

30:43

near it will cause it to

30:45

vanish. In some variants of the story,

30:47

the dog is the phantom of

30:49

lean masters. A notorious Carol

30:51

County landowner who was

30:53

supposedly quite

30:53

cruel. Masters is also

30:56

associated with the haunting of

30:58

Avondale. His Manor House. There was

30:59

a case in nineteen seventy five in which

31:02

a group of motorists supposedly

31:04

struck a large black dog

31:06

standing on a road near Warfield's They

31:08

felt the impact of the strike and felt

31:10

the animal under the wheels, but when

31:12

the car passed

31:13

by, the black dog was standing in

31:16

the road bearing its teeth

31:18

at them before vanishing. Perhaps

31:21

the oldest ghost story of Maryland is

31:23

that of the blue dog of

31:25

Rosehill. Near the town of Port Tobacco

31:27

in Charles County, there's a rock

31:29

covered in reddish discolorations

31:32

called the peddlers rock It

31:34

supposedly marks the spot where a

31:36

trader was killed at some point in the latter

31:38

part of the seventeen hundreds. In

31:40

true ghost story fashion, there

31:42

are many variants of the tail. Some

31:45

have it that the body was found lying

31:47

on that rock. Some that the

31:49

body was buried. Some have it that

31:51

a victim not at all, but a returning civil

31:53

war soldier. In any case,

31:55

the man's money was left behind and

31:58

his dog A great blue tinged

32:00

mastiff almost black

32:02

was killed during the

32:04

murder.

32:04

After the

32:04

crime, the man returned to

32:07

seize the treasure and were

32:09

warded off by howling and

32:11

were charged at by a large,

32:13

luminous dog. During

32:15

the civil war, men under the command of General Joseph Hooker

32:18

supposedly tried to retrieve the

32:20

peddler's treasure, but

32:21

were, like the murderers, brightened

32:23

away by howling and the approach of a

32:25

large hound. I

32:26

don't know of any confirmation of this

32:29

story, but in the the

32:31

eighteen sixties, General Hooker was

32:33

indeed engaged in maneuvers around

32:35

Washington DC. The number of

32:37

camp followers attached to Hooker's

32:39

army, by the way, were the source of hooker,

32:41

a common slang term for a

32:43

prostitute. As recently as February

32:45

of nineteen seventy one, locals

32:47

claim to hear the howling of

32:49

the dog coming from the vicinity of the

32:49

rock. It could

32:51

be just another variant of an urban

32:53

legend or a wholly separate

32:56

story but the city of Frederick

32:58

in Frederick County has its

33:00

own blue dog of Rosehill. The

33:02

grounds of Rosehill manner off of

33:04

Route three fifty five in the northern

33:06

part of the city are also haunted

33:08

by a phantom blue dog.

33:11

This blue dog was the pet of a

33:13

previous owner of the manor. The owner

33:15

had buried treasure six

33:17

feet from an old oak tree on

33:19

the property. The ghostly dog

33:21

appears midnight, wanders the

33:23

grounds and vanishes as mysteriously

33:25

as it appears. Now

33:27

deceased, Maryland researcher, Mark

33:29

Trevinsky, of Strange Magazine

33:31

investigated the tales of the Frederick

33:33

Blue Dog. Snarly Yao

33:35

is the name given to the phantom

33:38

which haunted the section of the National Pike near

33:40

Turner's Gap in Frederick County.

33:42

The home was first mentioned

33:44

by Madeleine v Dahlgren in eighteen

33:47

eighty two. Her book, South

33:49

Mountain Magic, details no less

33:51

than a dozen sightings of the

33:53

beast. One account is from

33:55

Daniel Mesick, whose father kicked

33:57

at a huge dog near James'

33:59

quarter. His foot passed directly

34:01

through it. Sticks rocks

34:03

and even bullets were recorded as having passed through the

34:06

beast in dogmatic

34:06

accounts. Other

34:07

accounts have stated that the dog

34:10

left physical traces and

34:12

frightened horses to the extent that they

34:14

threw their riders. The dog was

34:16

seen numerous times by a minister

34:18

at a small church

34:20

in Glendale. A staple, a Frederick County legendary for

34:22

years, the yau was seen in nineteen sixty

34:24

two near Ziddletown. In this

34:25

instance, it

34:28

was headless white, and drug a chain along behind

34:30

it. The south mountain

34:31

area is also the traditional home of a

34:34

number of

34:36

werewolves. The fence

34:38

rail dog is an enormous hound

34:40

nearly ten feet in length, which

34:42

haunts a stretch of route twelve

34:44

near Frederica in Delaware. Mentioned

34:47

by Charles j Adams the third, a Pennsylvania based author

34:49

on paranormal topics, the dog appears on

34:51

the wake of automobile accidents

34:53

on the road. Not

34:56

much information is at hand, but as folklore from around the

34:58

globe speaks of dogs as a sort

35:01

of psychopath or spirits which guide

35:03

the dead to the afterlife, its

35:05

appearance wake of death may be an

35:08

interpretation of this. The

35:10

Brandywine Creek State Park

35:12

in Northern Delaware near

35:14

Wilmington is home to appearances of a

35:16

large dog or fox, which is

35:18

often seen to rise up in the

35:20

operation of Gilthe

35:21

Row. And outdoorsmen. Once again, not

35:23

much information is known on

35:25

this creature. It

35:26

isn't technically in Maryland or

35:30

Delaware, but the northern portion of the small finger of

35:32

Virginia on the Delmarva

35:34

Peninsula is a feature

35:36

called Bullbeggar Creek. There's

35:38

also a nearby village called

35:40

Bullwanger. British listeners might be

35:42

familiar with that term, which refers

35:45

to a phantom or goblin that haunts several

35:47

regions across the aisle. Traditions

35:50

do exist in Virginia of free

35:52

roaming humanoid

35:54

phantoms, which change into

35:56

black dogs, but I can't place

35:58

those traditions geographically and

36:00

can't say definitively whether this accounts

36:02

for Bullwhip

36:04

Creek's name. Certainly is an odd name though. I wouldn't doubt

36:06

there are some sort of

36:08

traditions around there. As can be seen

36:10

from the cases I've

36:12

already mentioned, The Phantom hounds found in this region of the United

36:14

States are both similar to but

36:16

yet different from the

36:18

British cases. Chain

36:20

dragging seems to be a fairly common feature of the

36:22

accounts. Only the dog haunting Warfieldsburg

36:25

is reputed to follow

36:28

individuals as is common in the British

36:30

lore. Another common feature of the

36:32

stories, also common to

36:34

Pennsylvania lore as we'll discuss

36:36

in a

36:36

bit, is a clearly phantasma nature.

36:39

And in several of the

36:41

instances, the dog is clearly defined

36:43

as the phantom of a specific

36:45

individual. An interesting

36:48

facet of the case is that the dog

36:50

traditions, seems to, for the most

36:52

part, die off in the nineteen seventies.

36:54

The late nineteen sixties and the nineteen seventies being the time

36:57

frame that big foot sightings began in

36:59

earnest in Maryland. Also interesting

37:01

is that some

37:04

sightings particularly of Frederick County's Duayo in

37:06

nineteen seventy three, do have

37:08

a rather canine cast

37:11

to their features. You gotta

37:13

wonder maybe if some of those reported big foot sightings

37:16

are actually sightings of

37:18

black dogs.

37:20

It's probably no coincidence

37:22

that many of the oldest counties

37:24

in Pennsylvania share the names of

37:26

counties and regions of England. Birx,

37:30

Bucks, Chester, Lancaster,

37:32

Westmoreland, York, and that

37:34

like Maryland and Delaware, Pennsylvania

37:36

also has a number of

37:38

tales of phantasmal dog creatures. These

37:42

are more dissimilar from

37:44

the British Black Dog Legends than those

37:46

of further south. Apparently, the original

37:48

tales were mixed with native American traditions

37:50

in the northern part of the state

37:52

and the folklore of the German and

37:54

Dutch settlers in the southern as

37:57

well as with more traditional ghost and werewolf legends

37:59

to create a unique

37:59

hole. Several types of

38:02

phantasmal canines are reported

38:04

from Pennsylvania,

38:06

First are what would seem to be the

38:08

traditional black dogs. These

38:10

are relatively rare in Pennsylvania lore.

38:14

Second are the cemetery dogs. Canine creatures which

38:16

apparently haunt graveyards and are often

38:19

seen in or near

38:20

them. On

38:22

occasion, they are said to be the phantoms of specific persons.

38:25

Third, and

38:26

most common by far are the

38:29

spook wolves, which for the

38:31

most part seem to be normal wolves

38:33

with a few supernatural

38:35

attributes. Often these are derived

38:37

from the werewolf myth, similar to

38:39

the Bistok Tucked in the

38:40

northern corner of Lancaster County, the tiny

38:43

village of Adams town boasts

38:46

at least four of these ghosts. One of these is a

38:48

small black dog who appears seemingly

38:50

at random and follows pedestrians

38:53

before vanishing

38:55

as mysteriously as

38:57

it came. Sometime around nineteen hundred, Henry

38:59

w shoemaker recounts

39:02

authorities sought a

39:04

silas warringer for the murder of

39:06

two men in Youngmenstown near

39:08

Belfast in Northampton County.

39:10

The man barricaded himself in his

39:12

home. His pursuers set the

39:14

home on fire in order to

39:16

flush him out. The man

39:18

responded by slitting his own

39:20

throat. His burned

39:22

corpse was carried in a grow

39:24

of oak trees. And after a brief

39:25

while, a large black wolf emerged and

39:28

eluded hunters. A witch

39:29

named granny Myers told locals to

39:32

exhume the body of the man and bury

39:34

it alongside the body of his mother

39:36

in a consecrated

39:37

cemetery. When this was

39:39

done, the wolf vanished. Charles j

39:41

Adams the third cites

39:44

the story of ghostly activity

39:46

at the Stroud Mall. In

39:47

Stroudsburg, Monroe County, part of

39:50

which was the appearance of what appears to be a

39:52

lion headed dog. The

39:53

sound of a whimpering dog was

39:56

sometimes heard even when the Phantom

39:58

was not seen. The mall

40:00

was formerly an old

40:02

mill. A tiny cemetery

40:04

lies on Old River Road

40:06

near Marietta, in Lancaster

40:07

County, a family plot of the graphs. Tradition cites

40:09

that anyone walking the perimeter of

40:12

the cemetery seven times by the

40:14

light of

40:16

full moon will die. Also, the

40:18

cemetery is reputedly haunted by a

40:20

canine apparition seen near the grave

40:23

of Hans

40:24

Gaff, one of the earliest settlers

40:26

of Lancaster County. A

40:27

number of phantom black hounds have been reported

40:29

in the large hilltop cemetery

40:32

at the end of Aisle Lane near Lock Haven

40:35

University in Lock Haven, Clinton County. I'm not sure

40:37

whether these dogs could have any

40:39

relevance to a black Smoky

40:42

form seen moving through the halls of Sloan Hall,

40:44

the university art building adjacent to

40:46

the

40:47

cemetery. Two thousand

40:48

nine article in the Lock Haven Express

40:51

mentions that there are several Indian burial grounds in

40:54

the area. A Phantom

40:56

Wolf supposedly haunts this rich

40:58

south of New Hope. Information

41:01

on the Wolf is scarce. Read existent, but I find

41:03

it interesting that a number of

41:05

sightings were reported. In

41:07

the years of the so called Yardley

41:10

YETI, which despite the name was a

41:12

dog like creature from the region around

41:14

New Hope. Mentioned

41:16

by Charles Fort, a tale emerged

41:18

from Pittsburgh of two men who

41:20

encountered a frightful apparition in

41:22

a city park. A small dog walked in

41:24

front of the man and said, good

41:26

morning to them. I speak

41:29

for myself, it said. When

41:31

one of the men moved to grab the

41:33

dog, it moved to avoid him and

41:35

said, don't touch me. The man

41:37

didn't listen and was burned by

41:39

contact with the

41:40

dog.

41:40

Henry w shoemaker recounts the tales of this

41:43

creature. George Wilson of Wayne

41:45

Township in the mountain south

41:47

of Mekelhat and Clinton County, and very near

41:50

Sugar Valley, long suspected that

41:52

another Wayne resident was a

41:54

witch who took the shape of a wolf

41:56

at night. He shot a

41:58

large brownish wolf in the foreleg

42:00

with a silver bullet. Soon

42:02

afterward, Wilson said, the

42:04

supposed witch was found with a

42:06

broken arm. Sometime in the eighteen

42:08

fifties or

42:08

thereabouts, Wilson shot a three legged wolf again with

42:11

a silver bullet. On

42:14

the Paul Farm, not far from Snyder's town in Northumberland

42:16

County, there lived in Old Hermit.

42:18

The man had the local reputation

42:20

of being a wolf man or

42:24

werewolf. In the eighteen fifties, the

42:26

daughter, Mae, defended the old

42:28

hermit, who would often sit on a log

42:30

and watch her tend

42:32

the sheep. It was said that wolves which came in to prey

42:34

on the sheep would be scared off by the

42:36

sight of the old

42:37

man. One night, a

42:38

local farmer shot a large gray

42:42

wool which he tracked to a hut where the wolf man

42:44

lay dead. The area where

42:46

his hut stood became known as

42:49

Wolfman's Grab, the werewolf's

42:52

grave. May Paul later

42:54

claimed that in subsequent years, wolves

42:56

would never prey on her sheep.

42:59

At times she said a large gray

43:01

wolf would appear snarling at

43:03

the interlopers. Was it the ghost

43:05

of the wolf man

43:08

protecting her? Voplorist Charles Skinner

43:10

mentioned this phantom in his

43:12

book American myths

43:14

and legends. The creature,

43:16

as the name suggests, was a

43:18

huge white wolf, which inhabited

43:20

the corn planter reservation, and

43:22

was assumed seated in

43:24

particular with the Jacobs clan of Native

43:26

American Huntsman. It was

43:28

said that sightings of the White Wolf

43:30

were bad medicine and

43:32

pretended misfortune. Schiller states

43:34

that Jim Jacobs, the elder of the

43:36

family, saw the White Wolf and shortly

43:38

thereafter, was killed in an

43:40

accident. The White Wolf later plunged over

43:43

a ravine rather than be

43:45

killed by hunters and

43:47

vanished. Some research revealed that while

43:49

skinner cited Vinongo County as the haunt of the wolf, the story

43:52

probably actually originated in

43:54

Borne County.

43:56

Henry shoemaker mentions that a great number of wolves infested the

43:59

corn planter reservation. Further,

44:01

research has revealed that

44:04

the reservation is now beneath the waters of lake Kinzois

44:06

and that a record sized wolf

44:08

was killed in the

44:10

Kinzois region. Could the white

44:12

wolf have been this record

44:14

setter, mythicized and mixed

44:16

with black dog legends?

44:18

Jim Jacobs was also a real figure,

44:21

born Samuel Jimerson Jacobson. He

44:23

was supposedly killed by a train

44:25

in Bradford County in

44:27

about eighteen eighty. And the story most likely dates from the

44:29

late eighteen seventies or even eighteen

44:32

eighty. Henry

44:33

W. Schumer recounts

44:35

the story of a huge white

44:38

wolf seen in this region of Clinton

44:40

County near Loganton. First

44:42

encountered by

44:44

Philip Schreschengast, the White Wolf killed livestock and generally

44:46

made itself a nuisance.

44:48

The people of Sugar Valley sought the aid

44:50

of Granny McGill,

44:52

a witch who suggested

44:54

that a black lamb born under

44:56

a new moon in the autumn be

44:58

tied near a trap. The

45:00

plan worked and the wolf

45:02

was captured. John Schrach of Carol had the pellet, which

45:04

had shaggy hair like a shape or a

45:06

gout rather than the short hair of

45:08

a wolf. The

45:10

head of the wolf was reputed to keep wolves

45:12

away from Jacob Richel's sheep paddock to flash green

45:15

light from its eyes at

45:17

night. And a

45:21

move its

45:24

jaws.
