A huge black creature? Where is the igmage of "The Hound" come from?The fearsome of "The Hound" in "The Hound of Baskervilles are based on the legend of Black Shuck - a huge hound with terrifying eyes, (flaming eyes, red eyes..)who is said to prowl the coastline of North Norfolk. Ghost hunters long to track down a spectre, they try to figure out detaily the feature of "Black shuck" but there is one "spooky image they hope never to come face-to-face with. Black Shuck, the hell hound reputed to roam the East Anglian coastline, is said to bring death within the year to anyone who dares to look into his flaming eyes." The Black Dog is a name usually given to "public houses" - conjuring up images of a faithful hound which always at his master's side. However, the name more likely signifies gigantic , a snarling red-eyed hound from Hell or 'Black Shuck'.
