Classic Ghost Stories : THE BUNGAY BLACK DOG | Demon Hound of 1577 & The Storm of Doom

from The Whispering Woods : Real Life Ghost & Paranormal Stories

A violent storm struck Suffolk on 4 August 1577 and with it the legendary Black Shuck burst into St Mary's Church, Bungay and later Holy Trinity Church, Blythburgh, slaughtering parishioners and leaving scorch-marks on church doors forever dubbed “the devil’s fingerprints.” This tale of thunder, fire, and a spectral hound haunts East Anglian folklore. A ghost dog that still prowls lonely lanes when lightning splits the sky.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://www.thesuffolkcoast.co.uk/articles/the-legend-of-the-bungay-black-doghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Shuckhttps://www.bungay-suffolk.co.uk/about/history/bungay-history-the-black-dog/https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-devils-fingerprintshttps://eastangliabylines.co.uk/lifestyle/culture/celebrating-black-shuck-the-nightmare-hound-of-east-anglia/https://www.thebarkingbugle.co.uk/the-black-dog-of-east-anglia/https://www.thestrangeways.co.uk/2019/06/bad-dog-black-shuck-of-suffolk.htmlhttps://dannyechase.com/blog/blackshuck/Thanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again on tomorrow.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.
