This episode is all about our folkloric Black Dogs, those terrifying supernatural creatures that haunt the ancient pathways, near Faerie forts, or where the gallows once stood. This time I tell you of five of these strange creatures, about their localities, true sightings and folklore tales. Join me for a wander down the haunted lanes on a search for Black Dogs!
