Legend: "Even more terrifying than Old Shuck was yet another spectre of a canine type which seemed to have a special liking for churchyards in the East Flegg area. Its blazing eyes were the size of saucers, and people averred that the ground over which it passed was later found to be scarred, as though a fire had been lit there."
