Black Shuck

Black dogs have have been a symbol of evil for centuries, but these dogs are known around the world as many different names, devil dog, black shuck, perro negro, or simply black dog. The most notable account is one dating back to the dark ages, in 1577. The city of Blythburgh was struck by a terrible storm, and the residence went inside a Church to shelter themselves from the storm. Suddenly a huge black hound burst through the doors to a clap of thunder and attacked man and his child. The hound then caused the churches steeple to cave in through the roof. The black shuck then left, leaving scorched areas on the door which remain to this day. Another account of the black shuck states that if you see the dog three times, you die. A man who had already seen the beast twice was walking in the forest and he saw the beast a third time. That same day he fell off a cliff and died. What do you think? Real or fake? Post your thoughts in the comments.
