Classic Ghost Stories : THE BLACK DOG OF NEWGATE | Hellhounds, Prison Hauntings & London Folklore

from The Whispering Woods : Real Life Ghost & Paranormal Stories

Have an amazing Christmas everyone, if you celebrate, and thank you so much for all of your support!! In the winter of 1596, famine and desperation turn London’s Newgate Prison into a place of cannibalism and despair. What follows is a chilling legend of a spectral black dog that stalks the guilty through cells, streets, and snow-covered alleys, raising the question of whether the monster was supernatural, or born from human cruelty itself.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch Links:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Dog_of_Newgatehttps://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofEngland/Newgate-Prison/https://londonist.com/2014/11/the-black-dog-of-newgatehttps://factschology.com/factschology-articles-podcast/black-dog-of-newgate-prison-londonhttps://www.spookyisles.com/black-dog-of-newgate/https://blackcablondon.net/2017/01/22/the-black-dog-of-newgate/Thanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on Christmas Day!!Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds," Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licenced under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licencehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.
