The church should have been the safest place to hide.
Instead, during a violent storm in 1577, witnesses claimed an enormous black beast burst through the doors and tore through the congregation. When it vanished, people were dead—and strange scorched marks remained on the church itself.
The creature became known as Black Shuck, the legendary black dog of East Anglia.
Centuries later, people still report seeing an impossibly large hound with burning eyes prowling through fog, marshland and lonely roads. Some believe it kills. Others believe it appears when death is already on its way.
And then there are the bones.
This is the disturbing legend of Black Shuck and the evidence that has kept people wondering whether England’s most infamous hellhound was ever just a story.
