The church at Newchurch
The Dog of Darkness
A man named Davies was walking up a lane to Newchurch when he was confronted by “a great shaggy” Dog of Darkness. Davies struck at the ghost with his stick, which simply passed through it. However, with that action, the dog “grinned terribly” and disappeared.
