Myths Of Great Britain.

[BIAD]

Whenever you take a look into the origins of anything, there's always debris that can make you pause in your research.

Take the strange paranormal creature called 'Black Shuck for example. It's generally accepted that these terrifying
midnight-coloured canines are a global phenomena and yet in Wikipedia (forgive me!), it states that such a ferocious
beast originated from the East Anglian coast of Britain.

East Anglia...? We're back in the area of the Shug Monkey. Wikipedia continues that the first version of Black Shuck
was written down in an eminent journal titled 'Notes and Queries'. The author of the piece was a Reverend E.S. Taylor
who put to words the report of what he called 'Shuck the Dog-fiend'.
This was in 1850.

Taylor... Taylor, the same surname of the Policeman who witnessed the Shug Monkey and only four years before the
Policeman reported his account of the odd-looking animal. Strange?

East Anglia was also an area that the Vikings settled in (Danelaw) and one can be sure that the Norse legend of the
giant wolf called Fenrir had some effect in the birth of the Black Shuck circumstances. A dark portent of doom, that
walked the country lanes and brought trepidation to anyone setting eyes upon it.

Alas, the poor ghostly dog has been flogged-to-death here on Rogue Nation, so my best act would be to provide links
the other interesting accounts.
