00:03:36,319 beyond the fray called hunting the beast 91 00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:38,080 and when i was doing the research for 92 00:03:42,149 --> 00:03:40,080 that novel um 93 00:03:44,070 --> 00:03:42,159 i wanted i wanted something different 94 00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:44,080 for a main character i just 95 00:03:48,070 --> 00:03:46,000 you know everybody was riding werewolves 96 00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:48,080 or vampires or you know something along 97 00:03:50,789 --> 00:03:49,280 that line 98 00:03:51,589 --> 00:03:50,799 um 99 00:03:54,070 --> 00:03:51,599 so 100 00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:54,080 i went to where i always go i went to 101 00:03:56,869 --> 00:03:55,120 the lore 102 00:03:58,949 --> 00:03:56,879 and started reading some stories here 103 00:04:01,110 --> 00:03:58,959 there and everywhere i came across a 104 00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:01,120 really interesting uh shape-shifting 105 00:04:07,190 --> 00:04:04,080 stories about uh a shape-shifting story 106 00:04:10,149 --> 00:04:07,200 about black dogs um which became the the 107 00:04:12,710 --> 00:04:10,159 seed for the novel 108 00:04:14,710 --> 00:04:12,720 um of course because i wanted to be able 109 00:04:17,430 --> 00:04:14,720 to speak accurately about 110 00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:17,440 this phenomena in the book 111 00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:19,519 i did some more research and as i was 112 00:04:25,350 --> 00:04:21,680 doing that i was thinking to myself wow 113 00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:28,070 and after we published the novel um 114 00:04:32,070 --> 00:04:30,160 shannon said you know have you thought 115 00:04:33,510 --> 00:04:32,080 about writing a non-fiction follow-up 116 00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:33,520 for this book 117 00:04:37,350 --> 00:04:35,680 and i said well as a matter of fact i 118 00:04:39,590 --> 00:04:37,360 have and 119 00:04:41,670 --> 00:04:39,600 that's where the the 120 00:04:44,469 --> 00:04:41,680 the book phantom black dogs walkers of 121 00:04:46,310 --> 00:04:44,479 the liminal way came from 122 00:04:47,350 --> 00:04:46,320 now when you start talking about black 123 00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:47,360 dogs 124 00:04:54,550 --> 00:04:50,800 and their origins i think you have to go 125 00:04:58,310 --> 00:04:54,560 way way way way back in history 126 00:04:59,189 --> 00:04:58,320 dogs have been associated with death 127 00:05:02,390 --> 00:04:59,199 um 128 00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:02,400 almost from the time that uh 129 00:05:08,310 --> 00:05:04,320 dogs were domesticated 130 00:05:09,430 --> 00:05:08,320 thousands of years ago 131 00:05:15,670 --> 00:05:09,440 and 132 00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:15,680 it wasn't long before those animals 133 00:05:21,189 --> 00:05:18,240 started to be seen in 134 00:05:25,029 --> 00:05:21,199 uh in graveyards um you know 135 00:05:27,749 --> 00:05:25,039 a carnivore is going to take advantage 136 00:05:30,390 --> 00:05:27,759 of any free meal it can get and human 137 00:05:33,189 --> 00:05:30,400 remains are not off limits 138 00:05:34,230 --> 00:05:33,199 so dogs quickly got associated with 139 00:05:36,150 --> 00:05:34,240 death 140 00:05:39,430 --> 00:05:36,160 and then when you start to look at 141 00:05:43,270 --> 00:05:39,440 history and mythology you have uh beings 142 00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:43,280 like anubis the the the black jackal of 143 00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:45,440 of ancient egypt who 144 00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:47,440 um 145 00:05:50,790 --> 00:05:49,840 who became of course the 146 00:05:53,189 --> 00:05:50,800 uh 147 00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:53,199 the guardian of the underworld 148 00:05:58,790 --> 00:05:55,360 and a psychopomp who led 149 00:06:01,590 --> 00:05:58,800 uh souls to the duat 150 00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:01,600 and to their their judgment there 151 00:06:05,270 --> 00:06:02,960 um 152 00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:05,280 later on you have kerberos in the in the 153 00:06:09,830 --> 00:06:07,680 greek mythology who is also described as 154 00:06:12,469 --> 00:06:09,840 a guardian of the underworld also 155 00:06:14,070 --> 00:06:12,479 described as dusky 156 00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:14,080 but if you look at the pottery he's 157 00:06:18,390 --> 00:06:15,919 black 158 00:06:20,950 --> 00:06:18,400 and in norse mythology as you move on a 159 00:06:23,670 --> 00:06:20,960 little farther you discover a dog named 160 00:06:27,749 --> 00:06:23,680 garm which was the guardian of 161 00:06:34,469 --> 00:06:30,710 we move up into the medieval time period 162 00:06:37,990 --> 00:06:34,479 and in the 1500s there was a story 163 00:06:40,309 --> 00:06:38,000 out of uh bunge in england 164 00:06:42,390 --> 00:06:40,319 of of a black dog that supposedly 165 00:06:44,629 --> 00:06:42,400 invaded a church there and actually 166 00:06:47,110 --> 00:06:44,639 killed some people 167 00:06:48,710 --> 00:06:47,120 and then you move forward in time 168 00:06:50,950 --> 00:06:48,720 into history you start to get these 169 00:06:54,230 --> 00:06:50,960 historic witness accounts in about the 170 00:06:56,309 --> 00:06:54,240 1800s 1900s and so forth so 171 00:06:58,629 --> 00:06:56,319 i i think that black dog has a very 172 00:06:59,670 --> 00:06:58,639 extensive history 173 00:07:00,550 --> 00:06:59,680 and 174 00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:00,560 you know 175 00:07:04,390 --> 00:07:02,880 you read these accounts and you find out 176 00:07:06,550 --> 00:07:04,400 that there's a lot more to this 177 00:07:09,589 --> 00:07:06,560 apparition though than just a death 178 00:07:11,589 --> 00:07:09,599 apparition or a death portent 179 00:07:13,189 --> 00:07:11,599 um there's 180 00:07:14,790 --> 00:07:13,199 you know i talk about in the book 181 00:07:17,110 --> 00:07:14,800 there's all kinds of high strangeness 182 00:07:19,110 --> 00:07:17,120 that goes on around these these animals 183 00:07:20,950 --> 00:07:19,120 these apparitions 184 00:07:23,029 --> 00:07:20,960 except that they do have some physical 185 00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:23,039 reality too sometimes 186 00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:24,720 um 187 00:07:27,749 --> 00:07:25,520 but 188 00:07:30,070 --> 00:07:27,759 you know your two main types of black 189 00:07:32,070 --> 00:07:30,080 dogs seem to be the the death portion 190 00:07:33,029 --> 00:07:32,080 and and what i call guardian black dogs 191 00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:33,039 which 192 00:07:47,990 --> 00:07:34,880 uh 193 00:07:54,869 --> 00:07:51,830 15 20 16 years ago or so i um you know 194 00:07:56,950 --> 00:07:54,879 of course i the the big stories about 195 00:07:58,869 --> 00:07:56,960 hell hounds and black dogs were coming 196 00:08:01,029 --> 00:07:58,879 out of england for the most part cannick 197 00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:01,039 chase is probably the biggest area you 198 00:08:04,869 --> 00:08:02,960 know he had the old stories about in 199 00:08:06,629 --> 00:08:04,879 london where people would be chased by 200 00:08:08,390 --> 00:08:06,639 these things of course you know 201 00:08:11,270 --> 00:08:08,400 everybody knows 202 00:08:13,670 --> 00:08:11,280 the hounds of the baskervilles and 203 00:08:15,029 --> 00:08:13,680 possible connection there or some type 204 00:08:17,909 --> 00:08:15,039 of phantom 205 00:08:19,670 --> 00:08:17,919 being or such and um 206 00:08:21,350 --> 00:08:19,680 you know i guess it's something that we 207 00:08:23,589 --> 00:08:21,360 have it's kind of 208 00:08:25,670 --> 00:08:23,599 eat itself into a lot of different 209 00:08:27,990 --> 00:08:25,680 cryptid stories 210 00:08:29,830 --> 00:08:28,000 and a lot about what you write a lot of 211 00:08:32,070 --> 00:08:29,840 what you write about kind of can fit 212 00:08:35,350 --> 00:08:32,080 into these other candid cryptids as well 213 00:08:38,230 --> 00:08:35,360 the upright canines the the dog band and 214 00:08:40,469 --> 00:08:38,240 such so um 215 00:08:44,550 --> 00:08:40,479 what what have you learned as to why 216 00:08:46,790 --> 00:08:44,560 these things appear or is there um 217 00:08:49,269 --> 00:08:46,800 is there an actual reason why they 218 00:08:50,150 --> 00:08:49,279 appear are they from the you know some 219 00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:50,160 dark 220 00:08:53,350 --> 00:08:51,440 side or 221 00:08:55,750 --> 00:08:53,360 what do they usually what do you usually 222 00:08:58,470 --> 00:08:55,760 associated with 223 00:09:01,190 --> 00:08:58,480 well as i said um 224 00:09:03,509 --> 00:09:01,200 you know i kind of divide my my black 225 00:09:05,509 --> 00:09:03,519 dogs into two different territories um 226 00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:05,519 there is definitely an association 227 00:09:10,389 --> 00:09:08,560 between the phantom black dog and death 228 00:09:12,150 --> 00:09:10,399 there's no getting around that even the 229 00:09:14,470 --> 00:09:12,160 people who 230 00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:14,480 would like to say otherwise when you 231 00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:17,200 analyze their data 232 00:09:21,269 --> 00:09:19,360 you have something like 233 00:09:23,190 --> 00:09:21,279 i talk about this in the book you have 234 00:09:24,550 --> 00:09:23,200 something like a 20 235 00:09:26,710 --> 00:09:24,560 chance of 236 00:09:29,030 --> 00:09:26,720 either a death in your family or the 237 00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:29,040 witness actually dying after a black dog 238 00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:30,080 sighting 239 00:09:33,430 --> 00:09:32,480 um so that's way above 240 00:09:37,670 --> 00:09:33,440 you know 241 00:09:42,389 --> 00:09:40,790 but what i point out in the book is that 242 00:09:45,269 --> 00:09:42,399 you know i think that this hellhound 243 00:09:46,470 --> 00:09:45,279 thing is is kind of overblown 244 00:09:48,949 --> 00:09:46,480 um 245 00:09:51,750 --> 00:09:48,959 yeah yeah sometimes the black dog does 246 00:09:53,190 --> 00:09:51,760 appear as a very frightening apparition 247 00:09:55,750 --> 00:09:53,200 there's no getting around that you know 248 00:09:57,910 --> 00:09:55,760 you have this monstrous dog sometimes 249 00:09:59,829 --> 00:09:57,920 with glowing eyes 250 00:10:02,230 --> 00:09:59,839 back in the day it was often described 251 00:10:04,710 --> 00:10:02,240 as the size of a of a calf 252 00:10:05,910 --> 00:10:04,720 or of the height of a tabletop 253 00:10:08,230 --> 00:10:05,920 um 254 00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:08,240 you know nowadays people tend to uh 255 00:10:12,630 --> 00:10:10,320 equate it with large dog breeds like the 256 00:10:13,829 --> 00:10:12,640 great dane or the mastiff or the the 257 00:10:16,150 --> 00:10:13,839 newfoundland 258 00:10:18,310 --> 00:10:16,160 um but it gives you an idea of just how 259 00:10:20,230 --> 00:10:18,320 massive this thing is it's a very large 260 00:10:23,910 --> 00:10:20,240 creature usually 261 00:10:27,430 --> 00:10:25,590 and you know you get the glowing red 262 00:10:30,790 --> 00:10:27,440 eyes the eyes are described as being the 263 00:10:33,430 --> 00:10:30,800 size of the size of saucers so 264 00:10:35,350 --> 00:10:33,440 typically a very you know can be a very 265 00:10:36,870 --> 00:10:35,360 scary apparition 266 00:10:38,550 --> 00:10:36,880 on the other hand you can have a black 267 00:10:41,670 --> 00:10:38,560 dog that appears that people actually 268 00:10:44,389 --> 00:10:41,680 confuse for a normal dog 269 00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:44,399 of a large size but but confuse for a 270 00:10:47,190 --> 00:10:45,680 normal dog 271 00:10:49,670 --> 00:10:47,200 and 272 00:10:51,110 --> 00:10:49,680 in my reading in my research for this i 273 00:10:53,190 --> 00:10:51,120 found that 274 00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:53,200 a lot of times these more normal 275 00:10:58,870 --> 00:10:56,240 apparitions appear in that more guardian 276 00:11:01,590 --> 00:10:58,880 role that i was talking about 277 00:11:04,790 --> 00:11:01,600 so these guys actually uh 278 00:11:06,470 --> 00:11:04,800 the very typical story um and yes a lot 279 00:11:08,790 --> 00:11:06,480 of these are from england but there are 280 00:11:11,590 --> 00:11:08,800 also stories from canada 281 00:11:13,590 --> 00:11:11,600 uh uh there's quite a number of stories 282 00:11:15,110 --> 00:11:13,600 from south of the u.s border 283 00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:15,120 there are stories in the united states 284 00:11:19,110 --> 00:11:17,120 as well 285 00:11:20,870 --> 00:11:19,120 so it's it's not just a british 286 00:11:25,269 --> 00:11:20,880 phenomenon there's actually black dog 287 00:11:28,949 --> 00:11:27,590 but the kind of typical story is that 288 00:11:30,310 --> 00:11:28,959 you'll have a 289 00:11:33,750 --> 00:11:30,320 person 290 00:11:36,710 --> 00:11:33,760 often a young lady or a 291 00:11:39,590 --> 00:11:36,720 a minister of some kind who's walking 292 00:11:40,470 --> 00:11:39,600 from point a to point b 293 00:11:42,710 --> 00:11:40,480 um 294 00:11:45,750 --> 00:11:42,720 and uh you know from one village to 295 00:11:47,030 --> 00:11:45,760 another uh in england or whatever often 296 00:11:49,190 --> 00:11:47,040 walking 297 00:11:51,350 --> 00:11:49,200 um they will encounter something that 298 00:11:52,470 --> 00:11:51,360 they regard as a threat 299 00:11:56,230 --> 00:11:52,480 um 300 00:11:59,030 --> 00:11:56,240 may just simply be a dark forest 301 00:12:01,829 --> 00:11:59,040 maybe you know group of seedy looking 302 00:12:04,790 --> 00:12:01,839 individuals down the road 303 00:12:05,590 --> 00:12:04,800 you know may actually be robbers 304 00:12:07,509 --> 00:12:05,600 and 305 00:12:09,509 --> 00:12:07,519 suddenly this dog will appear by their 306 00:12:12,069 --> 00:12:09,519 side 307 00:12:14,870 --> 00:12:12,079 usually very large dog doesn't seem to 308 00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:14,880 want to get close to them or interact 309 00:12:18,870 --> 00:12:16,880 with them but is very much aware of 310 00:12:20,310 --> 00:12:18,880 their presence i talk in the book about 311 00:12:22,230 --> 00:12:20,320 something called the black that i call 312 00:12:23,350 --> 00:12:22,240 the black dog stare where 313 00:12:24,949 --> 00:12:23,360 this 314 00:12:27,750 --> 00:12:24,959 apparition 315 00:12:30,790 --> 00:12:27,760 is intelligent and has regard for you it 316 00:12:31,990 --> 00:12:30,800 knows you're there it's looking at you 317 00:12:35,430 --> 00:12:32,000 um 318 00:12:36,710 --> 00:12:35,440 this dog will walk along uh beside this 319 00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:36,720 person 320 00:12:42,069 --> 00:12:40,240 until they are past the uh the threat 321 00:12:44,389 --> 00:12:42,079 whatever that threat may be 322 00:12:45,910 --> 00:12:44,399 um and then it disappears 323 00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:45,920 one of the things that we see very 324 00:12:50,629 --> 00:12:48,160 typically with black dogs is that they 325 00:12:53,670 --> 00:12:50,639 they seem to be very territorial 326 00:12:56,550 --> 00:12:53,680 um they have like a a 327 00:12:58,550 --> 00:12:56,560 a section of road that they patrol or 328 00:13:00,389 --> 00:12:58,560 that they're known to uh 329 00:13:01,350 --> 00:13:00,399 quote unquote haunt 330 00:13:03,910 --> 00:13:01,360 um 331 00:13:05,670 --> 00:13:03,920 and and are not frequently seen outside 332 00:13:07,990 --> 00:13:05,680 that area 333 00:13:10,150 --> 00:13:08,000 so i think on the one hand you have 334 00:13:11,590 --> 00:13:10,160 black dogs that appear in this guardian 335 00:13:15,269 --> 00:13:11,600 role 336 00:13:18,310 --> 00:13:15,279 i tell the story of a young man who's uh 337 00:13:20,710 --> 00:13:18,320 in in norfolk england who's riding back 338 00:13:23,190 --> 00:13:20,720 to his home village after 339 00:13:26,389 --> 00:13:23,200 uh attending a dart tournament 340 00:13:27,829 --> 00:13:26,399 um he's riding his bicycle 341 00:13:30,150 --> 00:13:27,839 one of the interesting things about 342 00:13:31,110 --> 00:13:30,160 black dogs is you can't outrun one 343 00:13:32,949 --> 00:13:31,120 um 344 00:13:35,350 --> 00:13:32,959 nobody's ever recorded being able to 345 00:13:37,110 --> 00:13:35,360 outrun one 346 00:13:38,470 --> 00:13:37,120 he's riding his bicycle he sees this 347 00:13:40,389 --> 00:13:38,480 large dog 348 00:13:42,230 --> 00:13:40,399 on the side of the road 349 00:13:43,670 --> 00:13:42,240 he finds it frightening 350 00:13:44,949 --> 00:13:43,680 because he's afraid he's going to get 351 00:13:47,189 --> 00:13:44,959 chased 352 00:13:49,030 --> 00:13:47,199 and sure enough he passes this animal 353 00:13:51,350 --> 00:13:49,040 and this animal takes off after him and 354 00:13:53,910 --> 00:13:51,360 he can hear its pity patting uh 355 00:13:55,350 --> 00:13:53,920 pause on the on the ground behind him 356 00:13:57,269 --> 00:13:55,360 which gives you an idea that this 357 00:13:59,269 --> 00:13:57,279 apparition has got a kind of a physical 358 00:14:00,629 --> 00:13:59,279 presence 359 00:14:02,870 --> 00:14:00,639 the dog 360 00:14:04,470 --> 00:14:02,880 whips around the side of him and he says 361 00:14:05,750 --> 00:14:04,480 he can smell it 362 00:14:07,990 --> 00:14:05,760 um 363 00:14:09,910 --> 00:14:08,000 it runs out in front of him and stops in 364 00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:09,920 the middle of the road 365 00:14:13,670 --> 00:14:12,240 and he jumps off of his bicycle and puts 366 00:14:14,870 --> 00:14:13,680 a bicycle between him and the dog 367 00:14:17,350 --> 00:14:14,880 because he's afraid he's about to be 368 00:14:19,509 --> 00:14:17,360 attacked 369 00:14:21,509 --> 00:14:19,519 about this time 370 00:14:23,430 --> 00:14:21,519 down the road a little ways is what the 371 00:14:25,910 --> 00:14:23,440 british call a spinny it's a group of 372 00:14:28,629 --> 00:14:25,920 trees and bushes and so forth 373 00:14:31,030 --> 00:14:28,639 out of this spinny comes this car comes 374 00:14:33,350 --> 00:14:31,040 rocketing up onto the road and you know 375 00:14:36,069 --> 00:14:33,360 skids sideways and goes taking off down 376 00:14:38,150 --> 00:14:36,079 the road at a high rate of speed 377 00:14:39,990 --> 00:14:38,160 and this fella realizes that if this dog 378 00:14:42,790 --> 00:14:40,000 hadn't stopped him 379 00:14:44,389 --> 00:14:42,800 he would have been at that driveway 380 00:14:45,750 --> 00:14:44,399 and very likely would have been injured 381 00:14:47,590 --> 00:14:45,760 or killed 382 00:14:48,949 --> 00:14:47,600 um so 383 00:14:50,790 --> 00:14:48,959 you know 384 00:14:52,629 --> 00:14:50,800 everybody likes to talk about the scary 385 00:14:54,069 --> 00:14:52,639 black dogs with the red eyes and the 386 00:14:55,829 --> 00:14:54,079 hellhound what they what they want to 387 00:14:57,430 --> 00:14:55,839 call a hellhound 388 00:15:00,069 --> 00:14:57,440 there's a whole other 389 00:15:02,550 --> 00:15:00,079 aspect to this cree this apparition that 390 00:15:05,110 --> 00:15:02,560 that people don't pay attention to and 391 00:15:06,710 --> 00:15:05,120 and that's that guardian aspect 392 00:15:09,670 --> 00:15:06,720 now the 393 00:15:13,269 --> 00:15:09,680 aspect that you're talking about um that 394 00:15:15,430 --> 00:15:13,279 people generally think of as a hellhound 395 00:15:17,590 --> 00:15:15,440 which i don't really like that usage 396 00:15:19,269 --> 00:15:17,600 because i don't think that 397 00:15:21,509 --> 00:15:19,279 the black dog has anything to do with 398 00:15:24,710 --> 00:15:21,519 the christian place of punishment right 399 00:15:26,790 --> 00:15:24,720 um you know it just doesn't doesn't hit 400 00:15:28,550 --> 00:15:26,800 me as being something that's associated 401 00:15:30,550 --> 00:15:28,560 with that it's just simply another type 402 00:15:31,749 --> 00:15:30,560 of apparition 403 00:15:33,910 --> 00:15:31,759 but those 404 00:15:36,710 --> 00:15:33,920 those other death port and dogs are the 405 00:15:37,590 --> 00:15:36,720 ones that can be scary um and 406 00:15:39,110 --> 00:15:37,600 you know 407 00:15:41,670 --> 00:15:39,120 as i said 408 00:15:43,590 --> 00:15:41,680 in about 20 percent of black dog witness 409 00:15:46,069 --> 00:15:43,600 cases either the witness or somebody in 410 00:15:49,030 --> 00:15:46,079 their immediate family passes on 411 00:15:52,069 --> 00:15:49,040 you know within a year of uh 412 00:15:55,189 --> 00:15:52,079 of actually citing this creature so 413 00:15:57,749 --> 00:15:55,199 um i think those are kind of two reasons 414 00:16:00,069 --> 00:15:57,759 why the black dog appears sometimes we 415 00:16:02,230 --> 00:16:00,079 just don't know 416 00:16:04,949 --> 00:16:02,240 um sometimes this thing shows up in 417 00:16:09,269 --> 00:16:04,959 somebody's pathway and and obstructs 418 00:16:11,509 --> 00:16:09,279 them and we don't really understand why 419 00:16:13,590 --> 00:16:11,519 because black dogs are known to 420 00:16:16,710 --> 00:16:13,600 just stop in the middle of roads and not 421 00:16:18,470 --> 00:16:16,720 allow people to pass or stop at a gap in 422 00:16:20,310 --> 00:16:18,480 a hedge and not allow a person to go 423 00:16:22,710 --> 00:16:20,320 into a

lot of the old 473 00:18:17,510 --> 00:18:15,280 world traditions and lore 474 00:18:18,789 --> 00:18:17,520 uh started to make its way here and 475 00:18:20,390 --> 00:18:18,799 people were seeing these things that 476 00:18:21,830 --> 00:18:20,400 were these thought forms of these actual 477 00:18:23,990 --> 00:18:21,840 beings i don't know 478 00:18:26,390 --> 00:18:24,000 but it makes some

for snarly yao come from a book 482 00:18:34,710 --> 00:18:32,640 called south mountain magic which 483 00:18:36,870 --> 00:18:34,720 i don't remember the exact time that it 484 00:18:39,110 --> 00:18:36,880 was published but it was early 1900s i 485 00:18:40,830 --> 00:18:39,120 believe oh i know the book but i know 486 00:18:41,669 --> 00:18:40,840 the story yeah yeah 487 00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:41,679 yeah so 488 00:18:45,750 --> 00:18:43,760 there are several black dogs stories in 489 00:18:49,110 --> 00:18:45,760 there yeah these are appalachian folk 490 00:18:51,590 --> 00:18:49,120

because 497 00:19:06,150 --> 00:19:05,039 you know you have a situation where 498 00:19:08,310 --> 00:19:06,160 fellas 499 00:19:10,230 --> 00:19:08,320 gone to the general store and picked up 500 00:19:12,549 --> 00:19:10,240 some stuff for his family and he's 501 00:19:14,310 --> 00:19:12,559 trotting on home he's walking down the 502 00:19:15,750 --> 00:19:14,320 road and snarling yeah walks out the 503 00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:15,760 road in front of him 504 00:19:20,710 --> 00:19:18,000 now most people would look at this big 505 00:19:23,430 --> 00:19:20,720 honking black dog and say you know what 506 00:19:24,630 --> 00:19:23,440 maybe i'll go another way 507 00:19:26,230 --> 00:19:24,640 this guy 508 00:19:28,070 --> 00:19:26,240 says nope nope he's gonna put his 509 00:19:29,669 --> 00:19:28,080 packages down he's gonna move that dog 510 00:19:33,350 --> 00:19:29,679 out of the way 511 00:19:34,630 --> 00:19:33,360 and uh he starts wailing at this this 512 00:19:37,830 --> 00:19:34,640 apparition 513 00:19:39,590 --> 00:19:37,840 which obviously he can't 514 00:19:42,230 --> 00:19:39,600 but the really interesting thing about 515 00:19:43,909 --> 00:19:42,240 this uh this particular snarly yaw story 516 00:19:45,190 --> 00:19:43,919 is that the more he tries to hit this 517 00:19:47,110 --> 00:19:45,200 thing 518 00:19:50,310 --> 00:19:47,120 the bigger it gets 519 00:19:51,669 --> 00:19:50,320 it actually grows in size 520 00:19:53,750 --> 00:19:51,679 it's one of the one of the 521 00:19:56,310 --> 00:19:53,760 shape-shifting aspects of the black dog 522 00:19:57,990 --> 00:19:56,320 lore that's pretty common is this idea 523 00:19:59,270 --> 00:19:58,000 that the thing will grow and get bigger 524 00:20:00,789 --> 00:19:59,280 and bigger and bigger there's a story in 525 00:20:01,990 --> 00:20:00,799 england where it gets as tall as the 526 00:20:03,110 --> 00:20:02,000 trees 527 00:20:04,070 --> 00:20:03,120 um 528 00:20:06,070 --> 00:20:04,080 so 529 00:20:07,750 --> 00:20:06,080 he's wailing away at this thing all he 530 00:20:09,029 --> 00:20:07,760 succeeds in doing is making himself 531 00:20:09,830 --> 00:20:09,039 tired 532 00:20:11,990 --> 00:20:09,840 now 533 00:20:14,070 --> 00:20:12,000 we have again we have no idea why this 534 00:20:14,950 --> 00:20:14,080 dog decided it was going to block that 535 00:20:17,590 --> 00:20:14,960 path 536 00:20:18,950 --> 00:20:17,600 but eventually it just goes away it 537 00:20:20,710 --> 00:20:18,960 disappears 538 00:20:22,070 --> 00:20:20,720 and he goes on about his way he goes 539 00:20:23,590 --> 00:20:22,080 back to his cabinet and says he saw 540 00:20:25,190 --> 00:20:23,600 snarly owling 541 00:20:27,909 --> 00:20:25,200 you know 542 00:20:31,510 --> 00:20:27,919 it didn't go well for him 543 00:20:35,029 --> 00:20:31,520 um by the same token you have another 544 00:20:36,230 --> 00:20:35,039 guy same same book same uh same set of 545 00:20:39,669 --> 00:20:36,240 stories 546 00:20:42,470 --> 00:20:39,679 um see snarly yao while he's out writing 547 00:20:45,029 --> 00:20:42,480 and and he whips his rifle out and the 548 00:20:46,950 --> 00:20:45,039 the author makes a point of telling us 549 00:20:48,950 --> 00:20:46,960 that this guy is a cracked shot you know 550 00:20:51,350 --> 00:20:48,960 he doesn't miss 551 00:20:56,070 --> 00:20:53,190 apparently snarly yao is immune to 552 00:20:58,230 --> 00:20:56,080 bullets too because this this guy shoot 553 00:21:00,470 --> 00:20:58,240 fire several rounds at the at the dog 554 00:21:03,350 --> 00:21:00,480 and and nothing happens absolutely 555 00:21:05,830 --> 00:21:03,360 nothing happens um it kind of reminds 556 00:21:08,390 --> 00:21:05,840 you of the the bulletproof wolf and the 557 00:21:11,110 --> 00:21:08,400 the hunt for skinwalker book um 558 00:21:12,230 --> 00:21:11,120 if you recall that story 559 00:21:14,390 --> 00:21:12,240 um 560 00:21:16,710 --> 00:21:14,400 the united states too 561 00:21:19,830 --> 00:21:16,720 is one of the only is the only place 562 00:21:24,070 --> 00:21:19,840 that i found a black dog that's not 563 00:21:25,750 --> 00:21:24,080 massive um there's a black dog 564 00:21:27,270 --> 00:21:25,760 in connecticut i believe 565 00:21:28,630 --> 00:21:27,280 it's called the black dog in the hanging 566 00:21:31,029 --> 00:21:28,640 hills 567 00:21:33,029 --> 00:21:31,039 and there's a an interesting story about 568 00:21:35,990 --> 00:21:33,039 that one 569 00:21:38,870 --> 00:21:36,000 um this black dog is spaniel sized and 570 00:21:41,029 --> 00:21:38,880 it looks exactly like a little black dog 571 00:21:43,590 --> 00:21:41,039 just running around in the hills 572 00:21:44,870 --> 00:21:43,600 but the legend behind this this creature 573 00:21:47,029 --> 00:21:44,880 is that 574 00:21:48,230 --> 00:21:47,039 if you see the dog once it's for your 575 00:21:50,390 --> 00:21:48,240 joy 576 00:21:52,870 --> 00:21:50,400 if you see the dog twice it's for your 577 00:21:55,669 --> 00:21:52,880 sorrow and if you see the dog a third 578 00:21:58,710 --> 00:21:55,679 time it's your death 579 00:22:01,510 --> 00:21:58,720 and the story uh that appeared in the 580 00:22:03,590 --> 00:22:01,520 papers about this geologist who goes up 581 00:22:05,669 --> 00:22:03,600 he's with a friend of his 582 00:22:07,510 --> 00:22:05,679 they go up on to the into the hanging 583 00:22:10,870 --> 00:22:07,520 hills and they're taking rock samples 584 00:22:12,630 --> 00:22:10,880 and doing what geologists do 585 00:22:14,630 --> 00:22:12,640 and they 586 00:22:17,590 --> 00:22:14,640 see this black dog 587 00:22:19,990 --> 00:22:17,600 now the fella who wrote the report had 588 00:22:22,390 --> 00:22:20,000 seen the dog once before 589 00:22:24,630 --> 00:22:22,400 but unfortunately his companion had seen 590 00:22:27,830 --> 00:22:24,640 the dog twice before 591 00:22:29,750 --> 00:22:27,840 and upon seeing this dog he promptly uh 592 00:22:31,830 --> 00:22:29,760 slips on ice and and falls into a 593 00:22:32,789 --> 00:22:31,840 crevasse and dies 594 00:22:36,149 --> 00:22:32,799 so 595 00:22:38,870 --> 00:22:36,159 the guy who saw it twice it was for his 596 00:22:41,990 --> 00:22:38,880 sorrow for the third time it was for his 597 00:22:44,230 --> 00:22:42,000 death so my recommendation to you is if 598 00:22:46,070 --> 00:22:44,240 you're going to this area of connecticut 599 00:22:47,350 --> 00:22:46,080 and you want to look for this dog if you 600 00:22:48,630 --> 00:22:47,360 see the dog 601 00:22:50,870 --> 00:22:48,640 leave 602 00:22:51,830 --> 00:22:50,880 and don't ever come back 603 00:22:52,950 --> 00:22:51,840 um 604 00:22:55,350 --> 00:22:52,960 because we don't want it we don't want 605 00:22:57,350 --> 00:22:55,360 to take any chances for you 606 00:22:58,789 --> 00:22:57,360 um 607 00:23:00,950 --> 00:22:58,799 so those are 608 00:23:03,590 --> 00:23:00,960 some american stories that pop 609 00:23:05,990 --> 00:23:03,600 i i talked to about the the phantom 610 00:23:08,230 --> 00:23:06,000 black dog of iacrusis which which you 611 00:23:09,590 --> 00:23:08,240 documented in phantoms and monsters and 612 00:23:11,909 --> 00:23:09,600 by the way i have to tell you i 613 00:23:13,430 --> 00:23:11,919 absolutely love

00:23:22,870 --> 00:23:21,039 you know i've always been interested in 618 00:23:25,029 --> 00:23:22,880 the things that go bump in the night and 619 00:23:27,270 --> 00:23:25,039 uh it's all it's nice to be able to keep 620 00:23:28,789 --> 00:23:27,280 up with the things that are going on uh 621 00:23:30,789 --> 00:23:28,799 currently too 622 00:23:34,070 --> 00:23:30,799 uh because i spent so much time immersed 623 00:23:35,669 --> 00:23:34,080 in the history of things right um 624 00:23:38,470 --> 00:23:35,679 so you know 625 00:23:40,549 --> 00:23:38,480 the the the black dog of via

there's actually a witness account that 632 00:23:57,190 --> 00:23:55,039 almost exactly mirrors that 633 00:23:58,789 --> 00:23:57,200 sort of urban legend account 634 00:24:00,789 --> 00:23:58,799 that we have 635 00:24:02,070 --> 00:24:00,799 where a woman and her husband are 636 00:24:04,070 --> 00:24:02,080 driving along 637 00:24:06,310 --> 00:24:04,080 come to the same pretty much the same

00:24:10,880 they're not sure what it is they thought 642 00:24:15,190 --> 00:24:13,120 it was a bear it was so big 643 00:24:18,310 --> 00:24:15,200 um thing stops in the road typical black 644

out of here 647 00:24:27,750 --> 00:24:26,159 um and you know much like the the two 648 00:24:30,710 --> 00:24:27,760 young men in the in the more urban 649 00:24:33,510 --> 00:24:30,720 legend account they beat feet and uh you 650 00:24:35,830 --> 00:24:33,520 know made their way somewhere else 651 00:24:36,870 --> 00:24:35,840 um because the things scared the easiest 652 00:24:37,990 --> 00:24:36,880 out of them 653 00:24:40,470 --> 00:24:38,000 um 654 00:24:42,230 --> 00:24:40,480 now none of those was uh other than the 655 00:24:44,070 --> 00:24:42,240 the black and hanging hills none of 656 00:24:44,830 --> 00:24:44,080 those seem to be death portent stories 657 00:24:48,950 --> 00:24:44,840 though 658 00:24:50,149 --> 00:24:48,960 important stories in south mountain 659 00:24:53,029 --> 00:24:50,159 magic 660 00:24:53,990 --> 00:24:53,039 i um my fa a lot of my family grew up 661 00:24:54,950 --> 00:24:54,000 well 662 00:24:58,870 --> 00:24:54,960 was 663 00:25:02,470 --> 00:24:58,880 from uh the western north carolina area 664 00:25:06,070 --> 00:25:02,480 and uh in the smoky mountains and um 665 00:25:08,549 --> 00:25:07,830 well they call them hell hounds what out 666 00:25:11,669 --> 00:25:08,559 there 667 00:25:14,230 --> 00:25:11,679 a lot of these large dog black dog 668 00:25:17,990 --> 00:25:14,240 stories originate from from those 669 00:25:19,510 --> 00:25:18,000 mountain areas um the appalachians and 670 00:25:21,750 --> 00:25:19,520 and uh so i've been hearing this stuff 671 00:25:24,310 --> 00:25:21,760 all my life you know yeah you know this 672 00:25:26,310 --> 00:25:24,320 that story you you mentioned i think 673 00:25:28,549 --> 00:25:26,320 that was in north carolina 674 00:25:30,230 --> 00:25:28,559 uh yeah via crisis is in north carolina 675 00:25:33,029 --> 00:25:30,240 sorry right i forgot to mention that's 676 00:25:35,590 --> 00:25:33,039 all right uh but no i in it that state 677 00:25:37,830 --> 00:25:35,600 needs seems to be rife with these type 678 00:25:38,870 --> 00:25:37,840 of stories and i you know of course i 679 00:25:41,029 --> 00:25:38,880 think a lot of it has to do with the 680 00:25:43,510 --> 00:25:41,039 culture 681 00:25:46,390 --> 00:25:43,520 but you know this um you know i 682 00:25:49,029 --> 00:25:46,400 mentioned earlier about the uh the 683 00:25:50,310 --> 00:25:49,039 the appalachian folk magic and all that 684 00:25:53,269 --> 00:25:50,320 together i think 685 00:25:55,350 --> 00:25:53,279 i if you ever talk to conjurers 686 00:25:57,990 --> 00:25:55,360 root conjurers in that area they will 687 00:26:00,230 --> 00:25:58,000 bring up these black dogs 688 00:26:03,029 --> 00:26:00,240 it's part of what they do 689 00:26:05,110 --> 00:26:03,039 well yeah yeah i mean when you get into 690 00:26:07,269 --> 00:26:05,120 the the juxtaposition between the black 691 00:26:09,669 --> 00:26:07,279 dogs and the and and the magic stuff 692 00:26:10,789 --> 00:26:09,679 then i talked about that in the three 693 00:26:12,789 --> 00:26:10,799 section 694 00:26:15,750 --> 00:26:12,799 um but 695 00:26:18,549 --> 00:26:15,760 yeah i mean when you take into account 696 00:26:20,549 --> 00:26:18,559 the fact that a lot of the settlers in 697 00:26:21,590 --> 00:26:20,559 appalachia were from 698 00:26:23,990 --> 00:26:21,600 uh 699 00:26:26,950 --> 00:26:24,000 kind of my my homeland which is my 700 00:26:28,870 --> 00:26:26,960 mother was born in scotland i'm about 70 701 00:26:31,110 --> 00:26:28,880 scottish and irish so 702 00:26:33,510 --> 00:26:31,120 um a lot of the the people that ended up 703 00:26:35,590 --> 00:26:33,520 in appalachia were were 704 00:26:36,630 --> 00:26:35,600 scottish origin and 705 00:26:38,549 --> 00:26:36,640 i know 706 00:26:39,750 --> 00:26:38,559 some folks 707 00:26:41,909 --> 00:26:39,760 who 708 00:26:43,269 --> 00:26:41,919 would be called fairy seers in in 709 00:26:44,710 --> 00:26:43,279 ireland 710 00:26:47,269 --> 00:26:44,720 and um 711 00:26:50,830 --> 00:26:47,279 and they're of the opinion that when 712 00:26:54,070 --> 00:26:50,840 these folks came over to appalachia 713 00:26:57,190 --> 00:26:54,080 um they bought their spirits with them 714 00:26:59,110 --> 00:26:57,200 um so all those fairy spirits you know 715 00:27:01,590 --> 00:26:59,120 all the all of the fun things that you 716 00:27:03,590 --> 00:27:01,600 read about in in books like you know the 717 00:27:05,430 --> 00:27:03,600 the the fairy faith in celtic countries 718 00:27:08,310 --> 00:27:05,440 and stuff like that a lot of stuff ended 719 00:27:09,269 --> 00:27:08,320 up over here as well including black 720 00:27:11,269 --> 00:27:09,279 dogs 721 00:27:15,110 --> 00:27:11,279 absolutely so so there's there's 722 00:27:16,630 --> 00:27:15,120 definitely a a correlation there um 723 00:27:17,830 --> 00:27:16,640 you know my book is written as an 724 00:27:18,630 --> 00:27:17,840 introduction 725 00:27:21,510 --> 00:27:18,640 okay 726 00:27:24,470 --> 00:27:21,520 um i wanted to introduce the subject to 727 00:27:25,990 --> 00:27:24,480 people give them some good stories about 728 00:27:27,750 --> 00:27:26,000 some of the weird stuff that happens 729 00:27:29,590 --> 00:27:27,760 around these dogs a lot of the stories 730 00:27:32,470 --> 00:27:29,600 in the book are from england 731 00:27:36,389 --> 00:27:32,480 um you know and what i was trying to do 732 00:27:38,630 --> 00:27:36,399 was uh as i said uh put together a group 733 00:27:40,549 --> 00:27:38,640 of stories that were interesting that 734 00:27:42,549 --> 00:27:40,559 kind of hung together and 735 00:27:44,870 --> 00:27:42,559 demonstrated some of the the weirdness 736 00:27:47,669 --> 00:27:44,880 that happened these guys 737 00:27:50,389 --> 00:27:47,679 there's a ton more lore out there 738 00:27:52,470 --> 00:27:50,399 oh yeah just a ton of it you know if you 739 00:27:54,950 --> 00:27:52,480 wanted to write the 740 00:27:56,950 --> 00:27:54,960 the the complete compendium of black dog 741 00:27:59,110 --> 00:27:56,960 stories i'm betting it would be hundreds 742 00:28:01,510 --> 00:27:59,120 and hundreds of pages long 743 00:28:03,590 --> 00:28:01,520 um but a lot of those stories are out 744 00:28:05,029 --> 00:28:03,600 there yeah a lot of those stories are 745 00:28:06,710 --> 00:28:05,039 pretty much the same though so i didn't 746 00:28:07,510 --> 00:28:06,720 want to repeat myself over and over 747 00:28:09,990 --> 00:28:07,520 again 748 00:28:11,590 --> 00:28:10,000 um but yeah i i agree with you elon i 749 00:28:13,110 --> 00:28:11,600 definitely you know 750 00:28:15,510 --> 00:28:13,120 and as you said there were a lot of 751 00:28:19,190 --> 00:28:15,520 german settlers in those areas too and 752 00:28:21,110 --> 00:28:19,200 they bought their own set of of of 753 00:28:22,149 --> 00:28:21,120 beings with them too 754 00:28:25,029 --> 00:28:22,159 um 755 00:28:27,110 --> 00:28:25,039 the interesting thing to me was i again 756 00:28:29,190 --> 00:28:27,120 talking to the very very folk people 757 00:28:32,149 --> 00:28:29,200 that i know 758 00:28:34,230 --> 00:28:32,159 is that uh they said that when the scots 759 00:28:36,630 --> 00:28:34,240 first came over here for a while they 760 00:28:38,710 --> 00:28:36,640 felt bereft because they didn't have 761 00:28:40,870 --> 00:28:38,720 their spirits with them right 762 00:28:43,590 --> 00:28:40,880 it took it took a while before the 763 00:28:45,190 --> 00:28:43,600 spirits caught up with them apparently 764 00:28:47,590 --> 00:28:45,200 and then they started to get their 765 00:28:50,630 --> 00:28:47,600 contacts back and and things started to 766 00:28:52,710 --> 00:28:50,640 go back to more more normal in their 767 00:28:54,070 --> 00:28:52,720 their other world i guess 768 00:28:55,269 --> 00:28:54,080 uh which i thought was really 769 00:28:57,269 --> 00:28:55,279 interesting 770 00:28:58,630 --> 00:28:57,279 uh we had a question to chat from blue 771 00:29:00,549 --> 00:28:58,640 cross roads 772 00:29:02,389 --> 00:29:00,559 was there an old tale of black dog in 773 00:29:04,230 --> 00:29:02,399 the uk that entered the church and 774 00:29:05,830 --> 00:29:04,240 attacked the congregation back in the 775 00:29:07,990 --> 00:29:05,840 1800s 776 00:29:09,510 --> 00:29:08,000 uh can you relate to that 777 00:29:12,470 --> 00:29:09,520 yeah that act 778 00:29:14,630 --> 00:29:12,480 much earlier than the 1800s it was um 779 00:29:16,710 --> 00:29:14,640 actually in the 1500s and there were 780 00:29:17,990 --> 00:29:16,720 actually two churches um they were the 781 00:29:21,430 --> 00:29:18,000 churches in 782 00:29:24,789 --> 00:29:23,590 the name of the other town slips my mind 783 00:29:29,350 --> 00:29:24,799 um 784 00:29:32,149 --> 00:29:29,360 so the legend is and and this is a 785 00:29:35,269 --> 00:29:32,159 legendary account and it comes from 786 00:29:38,470 --> 00:29:35,279 a uh a track that uh 787 00:29:40,789 --> 00:29:38,480 basically was written by a 788 00:29:42,149 --> 00:29:40,799 a religionist of some kind 789 00:29:43,990 --> 00:29:42,159 um 790 00:29:46,149 --> 00:29:44,000 it's all about trying to get people to 791 00:29:47,909 --> 00:29:46,159 repent 792 00:29:50,630 --> 00:29:47,919 um so 793 00:29:52,149 --> 00:29:50,640 i'm not sure how much stock we can place 794 00:29:53,029 --> 00:29:52,159 in the stories 795 00:29:55,430 --> 00:29:53,039 but 796 00:29:57,590 --> 00:29:55,440 the the basic story is that there was a 797 00:29:59,110 --> 00:29:57,600 tremendous storm in august of that 798 00:29:59,909 --> 00:29:59,120 particular year 799 00:30:02,230 --> 00:29:59,919 and 800 00:30:05,590 --> 00:30:02,240 the storm apparently was so bad 801 00:30:07,350 --> 00:30:05,600 that the the the members of the parish 802 00:30:12,630 --> 00:30:07,360 were afraid that the world was going to 803 00:30:15,590 --> 00:30:12,640 end so they all gathered in the church 804 00:30:17,909 --> 00:30:15,600 and were as they say hearing the divine 805 00:30:21,909 --> 00:30:17,919 office 806 00:30:23,110 --> 00:30:21,919 and this black dog allegedly appears 807 00:30:25,190 --> 00:30:23,120 and 808 00:30:27,190 --> 00:30:25,200 you know during the course of it's it's 809 00:30:30,149 --> 00:30:27,200 rampage through this church it kills a 810 00:30:32,070 --> 00:30:30,159 couple of people and cripples one guy 811 00:30:33,750 --> 00:30:32,080 now the interesting thing about this 812 00:30:35,430 --> 00:30:33,760 story is that 813 00:30:37,750 --> 00:30:35,440 um 814 00:30:40,950 --> 00:30:37,760 the black dog is supposed to have killed 815 00:30:42,870 --> 00:30:40,960 these people by ringing their necks 816 00:30:45,269 --> 00:30:42,880 and last time i checked you had to have 817 00:30:46,470 --> 00:30:45,279 thumbs to do that 818 00:30:49,110 --> 00:30:46,480 um 819 00:30:50,389 --> 00:30:49,120 so i'm not sure exactly what the you 820 00:30:53,110 --> 00:30:50,399 know whether that was supposed to be a 821 00:30:56,149 --> 00:30:53,120 shape-shifting thing or whatever 822 00:30:59,110 --> 00:30:56,159 um the other interesting thing is that 823 00:31:01,990 --> 00:30:59,120 the fella who is crippled 824 00:31:04,549 --> 00:31:02,000 the the the text reads that the black 825 00:31:07,029 --> 00:31:04,559 dog griped him it gripped him it 826 00:31:10,070 --> 00:31:07,039 actually got a hold of him 827 00:31:11,830 --> 00:31:10,080 and as a result he dried up like shoe 828 00:31:14,549 --> 00:31:11,840 leather 829 00:31:17,669 --> 00:31:14,559 now i don't know how you survived that 830 00:31:18,950 --> 00:31:17,679 but apparently this fella did 831 00:31:20,789 --> 00:31:18,960 and uh 832 00:31:22,230 --> 00:31:20,799 went on to live for some youth sometime 833 00:31:23,430 --> 00:31:22,240 after that 834 00:31:29,190 --> 00:31:23,440 um 835 00:31:32,310 --> 00:31:29,200 from from the church going actually 836 00:31:34,870 --> 00:31:32,320 through the doors and it said that uh 837 00:31:36,470 --> 00:31:34,880 the dog left burn marks and that looked 838 00:31:37,750 --> 00:31:36,480 like claw marks on the door of the 839 00:31:39,350 --> 00:31:37,760 church that you're supposed to be able 840 00:31:42,630 --> 00:31:39,360 to see today 841 00:31:47,430 --> 00:31:45,430 there's some confusion in the local lore 842 00:31:49,750 --> 00:31:47,440 about whether this was actually a black 843 00:31:51,269 --> 00:31:49,760 dog or whether it was actually the devil 844 00:31:53,029 --> 00:31:51,279 that appeared 845 00:31:54,549 --> 00:31:53,039 in the church 846 00:31:56,549 --> 00:31:54,559 so 847 00:31:57,669 --> 00:31:56,559 i'm not sure how much stock to put in 848 00:32:00,149 --> 00:31:57,679 this story 849 00:32:02,710 --> 00:32:00,159 there's also a major discontinuity in 850 00:32:03,830 --> 00:32:02,720 the story because the the guy who wrote 851 00:32:06,230 --> 00:32:03,840 this 852 00:32:08,870 --> 00:32:06,240 uh is telling us that 853 00:32:10,710 --> 00:32:08,880 the the the vicar the the individual 854 00:32:12,630 --> 00:32:10,720 who's supposed to be running the divine 855 00:32:15,350 --> 00:32:12,640 service at the time this was all going 856 00:32:17,669 --> 00:32:15,360 on on was up a ladder cleaning the 857 00:32:19,190 --> 00:32:17,679 gutters of the church 858 00:32:21,669 --> 00:32:19,200 in a storm 859 00:32:24,549 --> 00:32:21,679 and got hit by lightning 860 00:32:27,590 --> 00:32:24,559 but apparently survived so 861 00:32:28,950 --> 00:32:27,600 you know this is obviously a very old 862 00:32:33,830 --> 00:32:28,960 account 863 00:32:36,710 --> 00:32:33,840 don't know how much stock to place in 864 00:32:39,269 --> 00:32:36,720 the account given that the last page of 865 00:32:41,909 --> 00:32:39,279 this this pamphlet is actually a prayer 866 00:32:44,789 --> 00:32:41,919 of repentance you know to to get people 867 00:32:46,630 --> 00:32:44,799 back into the church so okay um i think 868 00:32:48,389 --> 00:32:46,640 that there's a probably a good 869 00:32:50,230 --> 00:32:48,399 possibility that a lot of this was made 870 00:32:51,350 --> 00:32:50,240 up to scare people into going back to 871 00:32:54,149 --> 00:32:51,360 church 872 00:32:56,630 --> 00:32:54,159 um but yes there was a story 873 00:32:58,630 --> 00:32:56,640 and and uh and it did uh 874 00:33:00,789 --> 00:32:58,640 it is alleged to have happened and it's 875 00:33:03,509 --> 00:33:00,799 one of those things that gets cited all 876 00:33:05,350 --> 00:33:03,519 the time in black dog war because it's 877 00:33:06,950 --> 00:33:05,360 you know supposed to be the first 878 00:33:08,470 --> 00:33:06,960 account of a block 879 00:33:13,269 --> 00:33:08,480 so 880 00:33:14,230 --> 00:33:13,279 linville brought up which i have heard 881 00:33:17,990 --> 00:33:14,240 of 882 00:33:19,029 --> 00:33:18,000 rose hill in port tobacco maryland i've 883 00:33:20,470 --> 00:33:19,039 heard this 884 00:33:22,230 --> 00:33:20,480 i don't really know i have to worry 885 00:33:25,830 --> 00:33:22,240 behind it 886 00:33:27,669 --> 00:33:25,840 uh i i've heard of it um yeah 887 00:33:29,990 --> 00:33:27,679 i didn't include it in the book because 888 00:33:32,870 --> 00:33:30,000 it's a blue dog yeah 889 00:33:34,789 --> 00:33:32,880 um you know and and you know i mean 890 00:33:37,669 --> 00:33:34,799 there are um 891 00:33:38,710 --> 00:33:37,679 there are any number of dog apparitions 892 00:33:40,310 --> 00:33:38,720 out there 893 00:33:44,149 --> 00:33:40,320 the scots have something 894 00:33:45,509 --> 00:33:44,159 kushi which is a fairy dog 895 00:33:47,750 --> 00:33:45,519 uh which 896 00:33:48,630 --> 00:33:47,760 you know is the reason that uh some 897 00:33:50,549 --> 00:33:48,640 people 898 00:33:52,710 --> 00:33:50,559 maintain that there are more black dog 899 00:33:54,710 --> 00:33:52,720 stories coming out of scotland 900 00:33:57,190 --> 00:33:54,720 there's the kushi in scotland which is 901 00:34:00,149 --> 00:33:57,200 white and has green ears 902 00:34:01,909 --> 00:34:00,159 or it can be or red ears or can be 903 00:34:03,190 --> 00:34:01,919 absolutely green 904 00:34:04,630 --> 00:34:03,200 which would be a really interesting 905 00:34:07,190 --> 00:34:04,640 thing to see 906 00:34:10,470 --> 00:34:07,200 i have heard of the blue dog um i don't 907 00:34:12,629 --> 00:34:10,480 know the story though no i don't know 908 00:34:14,230 --> 00:34:12,639 i have heard a chance to research that 909 00:34:15,829 --> 00:34:14,240 one yeah 910 00:34:18,069 --> 00:34:15,839 uh well i tell you in this part of the 911 00:34:19,430 --> 00:34:18,079 country where i'm in here um 912 00:34:20,629 --> 00:34:19,440 you know there's a lot of german 913 00:34:25,589 --> 00:34:20,639 influence 914 00:34:28,069 --> 00:34:25,599 like with the amish and such and you 915 00:34:30,550 --> 00:34:28,079 know in the amish faith they're i mean 916 00:34:33,109 --> 00:34:30,560 in in their lore you hear a lot about 917 00:34:35,109 --> 00:34:33,119 demon blue black dogs 918 00:34:37,589 --> 00:34:35,119 uh they don't really talk about it a lot 919 00:34:40,149 --> 00:34:37,599 every once well you get somebody to coax 920 00:34:41,990 --> 00:34:40,159 them into talking about it 921 00:34:44,869 --> 00:34:42,000 uh but uh 922 00:34:46,470 --> 00:34:44,879 they have those hex marks on their barns 923 00:34:52,230 --> 00:34:46,480 well that that was the pencil being the 924 00:34:57,030 --> 00:34:54,950 yeah the hex sign is a big part of 925 00:34:59,910 --> 00:34:57,040 production and look the um 926 00:35:03,589 --> 00:34:59,920 the dual which is a 927 00:35:04,630 --> 00:35:03,599 a dog or upright canine dog man type 928 00:35:08,710 --> 00:35:04,640 being 929 00:35:10,470 --> 00:35:08,720 about in western maryland when these um 930 00:35:12,550 --> 00:35:10,480 these german farmers moved from 931 00:35:14,069 --> 00:35:12,560 pennsylvania into maryland 932 00:35:15,990 --> 00:35:14,079 but uh you know we've been hearing it up 933 00:35:17,430 --> 00:35:16,000 in pennsylvania in this area around 934 00:35:19,349 --> 00:35:17,440 gettysburg and you know this whole 935 00:35:21,750 --> 00:35:19,359 southern pennsylvania sure 936 00:35:24,950 --> 00:35:21,760 uh but yeah you know when you talk about 937 00:35:26,390 --> 00:35:24,960 dogs and canine cryptids and such 938 00:35:28,310 --> 00:35:26,400 we're kind of in the middle of that here 939 00:35:30,390 --> 00:35:28,320 because we get a lot 940 00:35:33,510 --> 00:35:30,400 of reports yeah i've i've looked at your 941 00:35:35,670 --> 00:35:33,520 uh your dog man map yeah 942 00:35:37,750 --> 00:35:35,680 and yeah i mean 943 00:35:39,670 --> 00:35:37,760 and there seems to be 944 00:35:41,670 --> 00:35:39,680 some correlation between phantom black 945 00:35:45,349 --> 00:35:41,680 dogs and and what you might call a man 946 00:35:46,150 --> 00:35:45,359 wolf or dog man yeah um 947 00:35:47,349 --> 00:35:46,160 but 948 00:35:49,270 --> 00:35:47,359 uh 949 00:35:51,750 --> 00:35:49,280 most of your phantom black dogs they're 950 00:35:53,990 --> 00:35:51,760 very they're i think i found maybe two 951 00:35:56,230 --> 00:35:54,000 phantom black dog stories where the the 952 00:35:59,030 --> 00:35:56,240 dog actually got up on its hind legs and 953 00:36:01,750 --> 00:35:59,040 walked around 954 00:36:03,750 --> 00:36:01,760 and i do differentiate the two because 955 00:36:06,550 --> 00:36:03,760 you know the phantom black dog takes a 956 00:36:07,990 --> 00:36:06,560 very specific form that you know that 957 00:36:11,430 --> 00:36:08,000 kind of giant 958 00:36:14,470 --> 00:36:11,440 uh you know red-eyed form 959 00:36:16,069 --> 00:36:14,480 whereas your your man wolves and uh and 960 00:36:19,990 --> 00:36:16,079 and dog men 961 00:36:21,349 --> 00:36:20,000 are bipedal upright canids um that look 962 00:36:25,270 --> 00:36:21,359 you know that people 963 00:36:27,589 --> 00:36:25,280 almost always describe as a werewolf 964 00:36:29,510 --> 00:36:27,599 and so you know in my mind they're kind 965 00:36:31,430 --> 00:36:29,520 of two separate things because the dog 966 00:36:32,870 --> 00:36:31,440 man seems to have a much more physical 967 00:36:35,750 --> 00:36:32,880 presence too 968 00:36:37,910 --> 00:36:35,760 um you don't have stories of people you 969 00:36:39,990 --> 00:36:37,920 know taking a swing at a dog man and 970 00:36:40,790 --> 00:36:40,000 having their their hand passed through 971 00:36:43,430 --> 00:36:40,800 it 972 00:36:45,510 --> 00:36:43,440 so the black dog is actually more of an 973 00:36:48,230 --> 00:36:45,520 apparition but it can have physical 974 00:36:50,230 --> 00:36:48,240 effect in its environment whereas you 975 00:36:51,670 --> 00:36:50,240 know it seems like the dog ban is is 976 00:36:54,550 --> 00:36:51,680 more of a 977 00:36:56,390 --> 00:36:54,560 physical manifestation of something uh 978 00:36:58,290 --> 00:36:56,400 you know now we can go on and on about 979 00:36:59,510 --> 00:36:58,300 what that could be 980 00:37:00,390 --> 00:36:59,520 [Music] 981 00:37:03,430 --> 00:37:00,400 so 982 00:37:04,790 --> 00:37:03,440 but the interesting thing is that again 983 00:37:06,630 --> 00:37:04,800 when you start to talk about your 984 00:37:09,990 --> 00:37:06,640 phantom black dogs having a physical 985 00:37:11,430 --> 00:37:10,000 effect in in reality it usually has 986 00:37:13,030 --> 00:37:11,440 something to do with their guardian 987 00:37:15,109 --> 00:37:13,040 aspect 988 00:37:17,270 --> 00:37:15,119 so for instance there's stories of 989 00:37:20,550 --> 00:37:17,280 people being lost on mountainsides in 990 00:37:25,030 --> 00:37:21,430 and 991 00:37:27,510 --> 00:37:25,040 uh encountering uh something in the mist 992 00:37:29,589 --> 00:37:27,520 that you know a dog and they don't 993 00:37:31,990 --> 00:37:29,599 realize what it is that they're they're 994 00:37:33,510 --> 00:37:32,000 dealing with but this dog that blocks 995 00:37:35,750 --> 00:37:33,520 their way again 996 00:37:38,150 --> 00:37:35,760 uh is always trying to get in the way of 997 00:37:39,990 --> 00:37:38,160 something um and then they discover as 998 00:37:41,349 --> 00:37:40,000 the missed clears that if the dog hadn't 999 00:37:42,710 --> 00:37:41,359 stopped them they would have walked over 1000 00:37:43,829 --> 00:37:42,720 a cliff 1001 00:37:44,550 --> 00:37:43,839 um 1002 00:37:47,430 --> 00:37:44,560 so 1003 00:37:49,430 --> 00:37:47,440 and again and then the black dog you 1004 00:37:51,750 --> 00:37:49,440 know does that stair thing that i'm 1005 00:37:54,069 --> 00:37:51,760 talking about and then disappears 1006 00:37:57,349 --> 00:37:54,079 once the threat is passed 1007 00:38:00,069 --> 00:37:57,359 so a lot of times 1008 00:38:01,910 --> 00:38:00,079 when you have the the the black dog 1009 00:38:05,030 --> 00:38:01,920 having a physical effect on its 1010 00:38:06,790 --> 00:38:05,040 environment it's again acting in that 1011 00:38:09,430 --> 00:38:06,800 it's got to stop you from doing 1012 00:38:10,950 --> 00:38:09,440 something wrong 1013 00:38:13,190 --> 00:38:10,960 which i find 1014 00:38:15,990 --> 00:38:13,200 very interesting very intriguing 1015 00:38:18,390 --> 00:38:16,000 i have had reports and not really long 1016 00:38:20,069 --> 00:38:18,400 reports but just people getting hold of 1017 00:38:21,510 --> 00:38:20,079 me and mentioning you know 1018 00:38:24,150 --> 00:38:21,520 you know i was looking out into the 1019 00:38:25,990 --> 00:38:24,160 woods and i see the red eyes and i don't 1020 00:38:28,069 --> 00:38:26,000 really see a form 1021 00:38:29,829 --> 00:38:28,079 but then i see it moving about like that 1022 00:38:30,710 --> 00:38:29,839 of a dog and 1023 00:38:33,589 --> 00:38:30,720 you know 1024 00:38:35,750 --> 00:38:33,599 then eventually i will see a dog form in 1025 00:38:37,430 --> 00:38:35,760 the red eyes that you know and at all 1026 00:38:39,190 --> 00:38:37,440 most of those always seem to be some 1027 00:38:41,510 --> 00:38:39,200 type of apparition something that 1028 00:38:44,230 --> 00:38:41,520 shapeshifts or you know moves in and out 1029 00:38:47,670 --> 00:38:44,240 of our reality and you know 1030 00:38:50,310 --> 00:38:47,680 uh i and it's hard for me to even 1031 00:38:53,030 --> 00:38:50,320 comprehend what exactly that is 1032 00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:53,040 but you know the red eye thing 1033 00:38:57,109 --> 00:38:54,800 it's normally associated with something 1034 00:38:58,150 --> 00:38:57,119 that's non-corporeal or something that's 1035 00:39:01,750 --> 00:38:58,160 you know 1036 00:39:03,589 --> 00:39:01,760 these settings we get with the upright 1037 00:39:05,270 --> 00:39:03,599 canines and such in pennsylvania in 1038 00:39:07,190 --> 00:39:05,280 maryland 1039 00:39:09,829 --> 00:39:07,200 or moshi like that flesh and blood 1040 00:39:12,310 --> 00:39:09,839 something that seems to be supernatural 1041 00:39:14,550 --> 00:39:12,320 yeah interdimensional but has a form an 1042 00:39:17,109 --> 00:39:14,560 actual solid form to it 1043 00:39:19,270 --> 00:39:17,119 right when it's on this side of the veil 1044 00:39:21,270 --> 00:39:19,280 you know it can you can do some damage 1045 00:39:22,950 --> 00:39:21,280 if it wants to and you know we i think 1046 00:39:25,910 --> 00:39:22,960 we've been fortunate not to have that 1047 00:39:29,190 --> 00:39:25,920 happen though these things tend to 1048 00:39:30,870 --> 00:39:29,200 stand their ground uh people walk up on 1049 00:39:33,030 --> 00:39:30,880 to them and you know even if they're 1050 00:39:35,270 --> 00:39:33,040 armed they're kind of like oh well i'm 1051 00:39:36,950 --> 00:39:35,280 not taking a shot at this thing 1052 00:39:39,589 --> 00:39:36,960 we've had people have taken shots at 1053 00:39:41,670 --> 00:39:39,599 these things and it goes through them or 1054 00:39:43,430 --> 00:39:41,680 you get the blood splatter but there's 1055 00:39:45,349 --> 00:39:43,440 no there's nothing there everything 1056 00:39:47,430 --> 00:39:45,359 takes off and leaves you know 1057 00:39:49,990 --> 00:39:47,440 so yeah 1058 00:39:51,829 --> 00:39:50,000 yeah personally you know if i had to 1059 00:39:53,510 --> 00:39:51,839 choose between the two i would take the 1060 00:39:56,150 --> 00:39:53,520 phantom black dog 1061 00:39:58,630 --> 00:39:56,160 absolutely yeah because yeah as you said 1062 00:40:00,390 --> 00:39:58,640 um i've heard people uh i think shannon 1063 00:40:03,510 --> 00:40:00,400 legroz the one who's always talking 1064 00:40:05,589 --> 00:40:03,520 about how that black the the dogmans or 1065 00:40:06,630 --> 00:40:05,599 dog men are just pissed off 1066 00:40:07,750 --> 00:40:06,640 you know 1067 00:40:10,230 --> 00:40:07,760 um 1068 00:40:12,630 --> 00:40:10,240 and it's true uh these guys seem to have 1069 00:40:15,589 --> 00:40:12,640 a real attitude problem yeah 1070 00:40:18,710 --> 00:40:15,599 and they are very territorial the 1071 00:40:20,470 --> 00:40:18,720 interesting thing to me though is that 1072 00:40:22,390 --> 00:40:20,480 the phantom black there's a crossover in 1073 00:40:26,150 --> 00:40:22,400 behaviors where phantom black dogs and 1074 00:40:29,109 --> 00:40:26,160 dog men will both sometimes chase people 1075 00:40:31,190 --> 00:40:29,119 but they don't catch them 1076 00:40:33,430 --> 00:40:31,200 you know and you gotta figure 1077 00:40:35,990 --> 00:40:33,440 uh you know a phantom black dog for 1078 00:40:36,829 --> 00:40:36,000 instance was once clocked running next 1079 00:40:39,510 --> 00:40:36,839 to a 1080 00:40:42,390 --> 00:40:39,520 motorcycle um and keeping up with it 1081 00:40:44,790 --> 00:40:42,400 yeah no problem um yeah you know these 1082 00:40:46,950 --> 00:40:44,800 creatures if they wanted to catch you 1083 00:40:49,670 --> 00:40:46,960 could catch you oh absolutely you know 1084 00:40:53,109 --> 00:40:49,680 your dog men too if they wanted to catch 1085 00:40:55,829 --> 00:40:53,119 you they could catch you so 1086 00:40:57,589 --> 00:40:55,839 again i think what you what you have is 1087 00:41:00,309 --> 00:40:57,599 is territoriality 1088 00:41:02,150 --> 00:41:00,319 um where this creature whatever it is 1089 00:41:03,270 --> 00:41:02,160 whether it's a phantom black dog or a 1090 00:41:05,750 --> 00:41:03,280 dog man 1091 00:41:07,349 --> 00:41:05,760 is uh is actually 1092 00:41:09,109 --> 00:41:07,359 defending its turf 1093 00:41:11,589 --> 00:41:09,119 you know and it's bluff charging you 1094 00:41:13,270 --> 00:41:11,599 basically absolutely um yeah i feel the 1095 00:41:15,270 --> 00:41:13,280 same way you know i haven't gotten you 1096 00:41:16,790 --> 00:41:15,280 know even cryptids all together a lot of 1097 00:41:18,870 --> 00:41:16,800 that has to be 1098 00:41:21,270 --> 00:41:18,880 like sentinels or guardians you see that 1099 00:41:23,589 --> 00:41:21,280 in sasquatch sightings all the time 1100 00:41:25,910 --> 00:41:23,599 you know where you get too close to this 1101 00:41:27,589 --> 00:41:25,920 thing and it'll it'll make a run at you 1102 00:41:29,589 --> 00:41:27,599 but you know come on 1103 00:41:32,230 --> 00:41:29,599 you know again with the with the 1104 00:41:34,390 --> 00:41:32,240 sasquatch um you know you have a 1105 00:41:36,309 --> 00:41:34,400 creature that moves like a ghost through 1106 00:41:38,390 --> 00:41:36,319 the woods 1107 00:41:39,670 --> 00:41:38,400 and goes up and down hills like they're 1108 00:41:41,670 --> 00:41:39,680 not even there 1109 00:41:45,349 --> 00:41:41,680 yeah if the thing wanted to catch you it 1110 00:41:49,589 --> 00:41:47,109 but we have a whole bunch of witnesses 1111 00:41:51,829 --> 00:41:49,599 who say that you know it ran them out of 1112 00:41:53,670 --> 00:41:51,839 whatever area they were in 1113 00:41:56,069 --> 00:41:53,680 but 1114 00:41:58,309 --> 00:41:56,079 you know they they came to no real harm 1115 00:41:59,990 --> 00:41:58,319 other than you know the the the trauma 1116 00:42:03,190 --> 00:42:00,000 to their psyche 1117 00:42:05,109 --> 00:42:03,200 uh yeah so yeah this is very you know 1118 00:42:06,790 --> 00:42:05,119 you know i'm getting outside of my 1119 00:42:08,390 --> 00:42:06,800 wheelhouse talking about phantom black 1120 00:42:10,550 --> 00:42:08,400 dogs but you know i've been studying 1121 00:42:13,030 --> 00:42:10,560 this stuff for years and years and right 1122 00:42:14,630 --> 00:42:13,040 there's a lot of correlation there um 1123 00:42:15,829 --> 00:42:14,640 you see a lot of that same kind of 1124 00:42:18,470 --> 00:42:15,839 behavior whether you're talking about 1125 00:42:19,750 --> 00:42:18,480 sasquatches or dog men or phantom black 1126 00:42:21,190 --> 00:42:19,760 dogs or 1127 00:42:23,109 --> 00:42:21,200 you know 1128 00:42:24,950 --> 00:42:23,119 the goat man of denton 1129 00:42:27,349 --> 00:42:24,960 the indenting 1130 00:42:29,109 --> 00:42:27,359 um you know chasing people out of its 1131 00:42:33,150 --> 00:42:29,119 it's territory 1132 00:42:35,829 --> 00:42:33,160 um so there's there's a lot of that 1133 00:42:37,589 --> 00:42:35,839 territoriality going on 1134 00:42:38,950 --> 00:42:37,599 but like i said with with our phantom 1135 00:42:41,670 --> 00:42:38,960 black dogs we get the additional 1136 00:42:43,589 --> 00:42:41,680 dimension of this idea of them 1137 00:42:45,589 --> 00:42:43,599 sometimes blocking people from doing 1138 00:42:46,950 --> 00:42:45,599 things that they that would be harmful 1139 00:42:49,349 --> 00:42:46,960 to them so 1140 00:42:50,950 --> 00:42:49,359 which you don't see so much in in some 1141 00:42:51,990 --> 00:42:50,960 of these other uh 1142 00:42:54,550 --> 00:42:52,000 cryptid 1143 00:42:56,550 --> 00:42:54,560 or apparitional creatures 1144 00:42:58,470 --> 00:42:56,560 you know a lot of these instances where 1145 00:43:01,109 --> 00:42:58,480 we see this activity or this 1146 00:43:03,510 --> 00:43:01,119 guardianship or sentinel activity or 1147 00:43:04,950 --> 00:43:03,520 cemeteries oh yeah you know of course 1148 00:43:07,430 --> 00:43:04,960 we've had 1149 00:43:08,870 --> 00:43:07,440 people that see sasquatch on the the 1150 00:43:12,630 --> 00:43:08,880 periphery of these 1151 00:43:15,349 --> 00:43:12,640 these cemeteries upright canines a lot 1152 00:43:16,470 --> 00:43:15,359 of different things and uh even you know 1153 00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:16,480 of course 1154 00:43:21,510 --> 00:43:18,720 phantoms not necessarily ghostly 1155 00:43:23,109 --> 00:43:21,520 apparitions but something that just 1156 00:43:25,190 --> 00:43:23,119 you know like these these crawler 1157 00:43:26,630 --> 00:43:25,200 humanoids and things like that 1158 00:43:28,309 --> 00:43:26,640 a lot of this 1159 00:43:29,910 --> 00:43:28,319 and i'm reading a book about that and 1160 00:43:32,710 --> 00:43:29,920 believe me

creepy yeah 1164 00:43:42,870 --> 00:43:41,040 yeah it's just just not something i want 1165 00:43:45,670 --> 00:43:42,880 to encounter you know give me a black 1166 00:43:48,950 --> 00:43:47,270 yeah i agree with you i don't 1167 00:43:51,270 --> 00:43:48,960 necessarily want to see it and i tell 1168 00:43:52,390 --> 00:43:51,280 you they do live an impression on people 1169 00:43:54,230 --> 00:43:52,400 oh yeah 1170 00:43:56,550 --> 00:43:54,240 you know it's one of the things you see 1171 00:43:58,950 --> 00:43:56,560 about black dogs too is that they really 1172 00:44:00,309 --> 00:43:58,960 you know i have a couple of stories in 1173 00:44:03,270 --> 00:44:00,319 the book about 1174 00:44:05,430 --> 00:44:03,280 people who saw a black dog you know 60 1175 00:44:07,349 --> 00:44:05,440 years before and and 1176 00:44:09,270 --> 00:44:07,359 you know it wasn't even a particularly 1177 00:44:11,510 --> 00:44:09,280 impressive sighting but it leaves an 1178 00:44:13,430 --> 00:44:11,520 impression on them 1179 00:44:15,510 --> 00:44:13,440 you know and i think you know you see 1180 00:44:17,430 --> 00:44:15,520 the same thing again in sasquatch lore 1181 00:44:19,910 --> 00:44:17,440 and the dogma more you know all the all 1182 00:44:20,950 --> 00:44:19,920 these different uh creatures you know 1183 00:44:22,630 --> 00:44:20,960 where 1184 00:44:25,750 --> 00:44:22,640 having an encounter with one of these 1185 00:44:28,069 --> 00:44:25,760 things is a life-changing event 1186 00:44:29,910 --> 00:44:28,079 you know um and it's something that i 1187 00:44:31,589 --> 00:44:29,920 think investigators don't take into 1188 00:44:33,910 --> 00:44:31,599 account sometimes you know they're so 1189 00:44:36,069 --> 00:44:33,920 busy jotting down oh well

godfrey points out in her dog 1257 00:47:06,069 --> 00:47:03,280 man books over and over and over again 1258 00:47:08,390 --> 00:47:06,079 the the correlation between 1259 00:47:10,710 --> 00:47:08,400 uh the dog man and 1260 00:47:12,309 --> 00:47:10,720 these uh indian burial mounds um 1261 00:47:14,470 --> 00:47:12,319 throughout uh 1262 00:47:15,510 --> 00:47:14,480 throughout the the midwest there 1263 00:47:18,550 --> 00:47:15,520 um 1264 00:47:20,950 --> 00:47:18,560 but you know i mean one of the one of my 1265 00:47:23,270 --> 00:47:20,960 fun stories in the book uh this is a 1266 00:47:25,190 --> 00:47:23,280 police officer in england 1267 00:47:27,510 --> 00:47:25,200 they call them constables 1268 00:47:31,349 --> 00:47:29,510 was doing his nightly rounds and saw 1269 00:47:33,430 --> 00:47:31,359 this large black dog running down the 1270 00:47:35,589 --> 00:47:33,440 road looked distressed 1271 00:47:37,990 --> 00:47:35,599 so he started to to follow this dog and 1272 00:47:39,109 --> 00:47:38,000 the dog actually runs through the iron 1273 00:47:41,190 --> 00:47:39,119 gate 1274 00:47:43,750 --> 00:47:41,200 uh of this the local cemetery and 1275 00:47:44,870 --> 00:47:43,760 disappears into a headstone 1276 00:47:45,829 --> 00:47:44,880 um 1277 00:47:47,430 --> 00:47:45,839 so 1278 00:47:50,549 --> 00:47:47,440 you know we see 1279 00:47:52,470 --> 00:47:50,559 there's also a story in the book about a 1280 00:47:55,589 --> 00:47:52,480 family that were visiting the local 1281 00:47:57,430 --> 00:47:55,599 cathedral in their their uh one of their 1282 00:48:00,230 --> 00:47:57,440 the nearby towns 1283 00:48:02,710 --> 00:48:00,240 um and they saw a black dog go racing 1284 00:48:04,630 --> 00:48:02,720 down the side of this cathedral and then 1285 00:48:07,589 --> 00:48:04,640 turn and actually run into the 1286 00:48:08,390 --> 00:48:07,599 foundation of the of the church 1287 00:48:11,510 --> 00:48:08,400 and 1288 00:48:12,950 --> 00:48:11,520 for a minute it's like okay well why is 1289 00:48:14,870 --> 00:48:12,960 this thing going into a church and then 1290 00:48:18,390 --> 00:48:14,880 you realize that there are people buried 1291 00:48:20,390 --> 00:48:18,400 in inside those cathedrals 1292 00:48:23,349 --> 00:48:20,400 so again you have that association 1293 00:48:26,150 --> 00:48:23,359 with death and the dead um so 1294 00:48:28,549 --> 00:48:26,160 the black dog of viacruzis in new in 1295 00:48:30,150 --> 00:48:28,559 north carolina comes out of the cemetery 1296 00:48:31,349 --> 00:48:30,160 church yard at the episcopal church 1297 00:48:34,309 --> 00:48:31,359 there 1298 00:48:36,150 --> 00:48:34,319 so again you have black dogs associated 1299 00:48:38,230 --> 00:48:36,160 with death 1300 00:48:39,190 --> 00:48:38,240 and and the dead 1301 00:48:41,030 --> 00:48:39,200 and 1302 00:48:43,910 --> 00:48:41,040 you know i mean you can't get around 1303 00:48:45,990 --> 00:48:43,920 that you have that you have the dog men 1304 00:48:47,750 --> 00:48:46,000 and the burial mounds 1305 00:48:48,710 --> 00:48:47,760 you know you have sasquatches appearing 1306 00:48:51,670 --> 00:48:48,720 on the 1307 00:48:52,710 --> 00:48:51,680 the periphery of of cemeteries 1308 00:48:55,190 --> 00:48:52,720 um 1309 00:48:57,430 --> 00:48:55,200 you know and that's not to to to mention 1310 00:48:59,829 --> 00:48:57,440 all the the people who have experiences 1311 00:49:02,630 --> 00:48:59,839 in cemeteries of you know ghostly or 1312 00:49:04,870 --> 00:49:02,640 apparitional uh type 1313 00:49:07,430 --> 00:49:04,880 experiences so 1314 00:49:09,990 --> 00:49:07,440 you know it all kinds of winds together 1315 00:49:11,589 --> 00:49:10,000 but it's all a mystery 1316 00:49:14,470 --> 00:49:11,599 you know we keep saying oh well i want 1317 00:49:16,150 --> 00:49:14,480 answers i don't know that that you know 1318 00:49:18,309 --> 00:49:16,160 i mean sometimes i wonder if i want 1319 00:49:21,349 --> 00:49:18,319 answers you know i i don't really i like 1320 00:49:26,230 --> 00:49:23,910 yeah you know i guess we're chasing the 1321 00:49:28,630 --> 00:49:26,240 answers but do we really want them 1322 00:49:30,390 --> 00:49:28,640 sometimes you know you always get this 1323 00:49:31,990 --> 00:49:30,400 this thought of well you know 1324 00:49:34,309 --> 00:49:32,000 if we figure this out then the whole 1325 00:49:37,190 --> 00:49:34,319 thing would be moot but well it has a 1326 00:49:37,990 --> 00:49:37,200 funny developer's voice right yeah oh 1327 00:49:40,230 --> 00:49:38,000 yeah 1328 00:49:41,829 --> 00:49:40,240 is developing theories absolutely i have 1329 00:49:44,069 --> 00:49:41,839 a whole section on theories at the end 1330 00:49:46,589 --> 00:49:44,079 of the book ranging from you know the 1331 00:49:48,790 --> 00:49:46,599 the skeptic triad with you know 1332 00:49:49,510 --> 00:49:48,800 misidentifications and hallucinations 1333 00:49:54,309 --> 00:49:49,520 and 1334 00:49:55,990 --> 00:49:54,319 mean obviously that happens sometimes 1335 00:49:58,790 --> 00:49:56,000 and we can't deny that that happens 1336 00:50:01,349 --> 00:49:58,800 sometime but i range it on out to you 1337 00:50:03,430 --> 00:50:01,359 know spontaneous psychic events and even 1338 00:50:04,950 --> 00:50:03,440 uh you know the magical use of thought 1339 00:50:07,750 --> 00:50:04,960 forms which i talk about pretty 1340 00:50:10,950 --> 00:50:07,760 extensively yeah i'm i'm really a 1341 00:50:13,030 --> 00:50:10,960 proponent of that theory as well um 1342 00:50:15,670 --> 00:50:13,040 thought forms i believe are just part of 1343 00:50:17,589 --> 00:50:15,680 the the paranormal and cryptid activity 1344 00:50:19,990 --> 00:50:17,599 there's something there 1345 00:50:21,670 --> 00:50:20,000 oh yeah it's hard to explain but i think 1346 00:50:24,470 --> 00:50:21,680 there really is something there 1347 00:50:28,230 --> 00:50:24,480 uh i had a question from ancient ruby 1348 00:50:31,109 --> 00:50:28,240 sure uh lon can you ask mr watson 1349 00:50:34,710 --> 00:50:31,119 if there if it was the runwall church in 1350 00:50:36,549 --> 00:50:34,720 wickford uk that he says a black dog 1351 00:50:38,390 --> 00:50:36,559 goes after the victor 1352 00:50:39,510 --> 00:50:38,400 no actually 1353 00:50:41,270 --> 00:50:39,520 uh 1354 00:50:43,270 --> 00:50:41,280 so the the 1355 00:50:44,549 --> 00:50:43,280 church story that i told was bungay 1356 00:50:47,190 --> 00:50:44,559 england 1357 00:50:49,510 --> 00:50:47,200 um and the other one is blythe borough 1358 00:50:50,790 --> 00:50:49,520 or something along that line 1359 00:50:52,710 --> 00:50:50,800 um 1360 00:50:54,470 --> 00:50:52,720 like blithe something i can't remember 1361 00:50:57,190 --> 00:50:54,480 there were two churches that that the 1362 00:50:58,549 --> 00:50:57,200 dog appeared at in 1363 00:51:00,710 --> 00:50:58,559 uh 1364 00:51:02,470 --> 00:51:00,720 on the same day um 1365 00:51:06,230 --> 00:51:02,480 the black dog doesn't actually go after 1366 00:51:08,309 --> 00:51:06,240 the vicar uh the black dog goes after uh 1367 00:51:09,670 --> 00:51:08,319 people in the congregation 1368 00:51:11,510 --> 00:51:09,680 um and 1369 00:51:13,510 --> 00:51:11,520 a couple of the congregants were killed 1370 00:51:14,390 --> 00:51:13,520 and and the one was injured 1371 00:51:16,790 --> 00:51:14,400 um 1372 00:51:19,190 --> 00:51:16,800 you know so that that's kind of the the 1373 00:51:21,430 --> 00:51:19,200 essence of that story what happens to 1374 00:51:23,670 --> 00:51:21,440 the vicar is he's up on a ladder and he 1375 00:51:26,230 --> 00:51:23,680 gets hit by lightning 1376 00:51:27,510 --> 00:51:26,240 which apparently he survives but 1377 00:51:29,750 --> 00:51:27,520 as far as we know it didn't have 1378 00:51:31,349 --> 00:51:29,760 anything to do with the black dog 1379 00:51:34,549 --> 00:51:31,359 except 1380 00:51:36,390 --> 00:51:34,559 that black dogs also have a correlation 1381 00:51:37,990 --> 00:51:36,400 to storms 1382 00:51:39,030 --> 00:51:38,000 um so 1383 00:51:43,349 --> 00:51:39,040 maybe 1384 00:51:45,349 --> 00:51:43,359 something to do with this figure getting 1385 00:51:48,470 --> 00:51:45,359 hit by lightning but uh 1386 00:51:51,589 --> 00:51:48,480 in the story of a 1387 00:51:52,790 --> 00:51:51,599 coast guard uh fellow named graham in in 1388 00:51:55,910 --> 00:51:52,800 the uk 1389 00:51:57,589 --> 00:51:55,920 he sees a uh uh this is in 1972 i 1390 00:51:59,190 --> 00:51:57,599 believe he sees the black dog running 1391 00:52:01,510 --> 00:51:59,200 across the beach in norfolk which is 1392 00:52:04,630 --> 00:52:01,520 black chuck territory black chuck is 1393 00:52:07,589 --> 00:52:04,640 more of the scary black dog he sees a 1394 00:52:08,870 --> 00:52:07,599 black dog running across the beach in 1395 00:52:11,430 --> 00:52:08,880 in norfolk 1396 00:52:12,790 --> 00:52:11,440 um doesn't think anything of it is about 1397 00:52:15,030 --> 00:52:12,800 he said it was about the size of a 1398 00:52:17,430 --> 00:52:15,040 labrador so it was a good sized dog but 1399 00:52:19,670 --> 00:52:17,440 it wasn't massively huge 1400 00:52:20,950 --> 00:52:19,680 um and he doesn't think anything unusual 1401 00:52:23,670 --> 00:52:20,960 is going on until the black dog 1402 00:52:26,790 --> 00:52:23,680 disappears right in front of him 1403 00:52:28,630 --> 00:52:26,800 like he's looking at it and it vanishes 1404 00:52:31,030 --> 00:52:28,640 and he makes a note of telling people 1405 00:52:32,790 --> 00:52:31,040 that the the beach had been freshly 1406 00:52:35,030 --> 00:52:32,800 bulldozed so there was no place for a 1407 00:52:37,910 --> 00:52:35,040 dog to hide 1408 00:52:39,030 --> 00:52:37,920 now the interesting thing about that is 1409 00:52:43,510 --> 00:52:39,040 that 1410 00:52:46,390 --> 00:52:43,520 sighting 1411 00:52:47,750 --> 00:52:46,400 a major gale came up 1412 00:52:50,230 --> 00:52:47,760 so there's 1413 00:52:51,990 --> 00:52:50,240 and i talk about the association between 1414 00:52:53,030 --> 00:52:52,000 black dogs and storms in the book a 1415 00:52:54,790 --> 00:52:53,040 little bit 1416 00:52:56,470 --> 00:52:54,800 um it's a little more tenuous 1417 00:52:58,150 --> 00:52:56,480 association than some of the other 1418 00:53:00,309 --> 00:52:58,160 things in the book but it's still 1419 00:53:02,470 --> 00:53:00,319 interesting because we do occasionally 1420 00:53:06,390 --> 00:53:02,480 see them associated with 1421 00:53:09,109 --> 00:53:06,400 uh with storms um snow storms uh gales 1422 00:53:11,910 --> 00:53:09,119 uh yeah you know thunderstorms that sort 1423 00:53:15,270 --> 00:53:11,920 of thing you know there's the the one um 1424 00:53:17,910 --> 00:53:15,280 there's the one there's a fan dog or 1425 00:53:20,710 --> 00:53:17,920 what black dog or what uh the beast of 1426 00:53:22,069 --> 00:53:20,720 dartmoor and we hear about that in in 1427 00:53:24,150 --> 00:53:22,079 great britain 1428

--> 00:53:29,200 legitimate or 1432 00:53:32,470 --> 00:53:30,000 you know 1433 00:53:35,030 --> 00:53:32,480 yeah the beast of dartmoor if i if if 1434 00:53:37,109 --> 00:53:35,040 i'm getting my

00:53:58,390 --> 00:53:56,640 something in between a dog and a cat 1444 00:54:01,430 --> 00:53:58,400 six legs uh 1445 00:54:03,910 --> 00:54:01,440 yeah yeah that's a completely bizarre 1446
