Chereads / Nightmare Anthology: True Chills and Twisted Legends / Chapter 92 - HELLHOUND OF DARTMOOR

Chapter 92 - HELLHOUND OF DARTMOOR

ORIGIN: Devon, England.

This tale speaks of a monstrous black dog with glowing red eyes, massive in size, and is said to possess an aura of pure evil. 

It is believed to prowl the wild and rugged landscape of Dartmoor, stalking unsuspecting travelers in the dead of the night.

And all those who encountered it have met an untimely and violent end.

The legend gained widespread attention with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novel The Hound of the Baskervilles, which was inspired by the Dartmoor stories.

However, the origins of the Hellhound date back much further, with locals sharing accounts of the beast for centuries. 

Farmers spoke of losing livestock to a predator they never saw, while travelers said they heard howls and felt something trailing them through the fog.

Even today, Dartmoor's eerie atmosphere keeps on with the belief that the beast still roams about, waiting in the shadows and fogs for its next victim.
