All About Ghosts

Fact 189 (Urban legend)

The Dogs

It is said that during each new moon, from 12 am to 3 am, a group of dark black dogs gather in a circle and bark at the moon. According to the villagers, the dogs appear to be the same breed and have blueish looking eyes and the gathering happens only every new moon, so around every 29.5 days. It seems the dogs have been turning up to bark and howl for years and when one older villager went to investigate, he was bitten. Urban legend has it that the dogs walk in sync, too.
