The Black Dog

British folklore tells of the Black Dog, it is a big, ghostly black dog with glowing eyes. It shows up at crossroads, bridges, or lonely roads. What’s strange is that seeing it can mean different things: in some places, it’s a sign that someone might die, but in others, it’s a protective spirit that warns travelers of danger. People call it different names too, like Grim in Yorkshire and Black Shuck in East Anglia.
