These spectral hounds or demonic entities, can take on many different forms. In fact, they are large, with big red glowing eyes. Sometimes they might even have a human face, and walk on their hind legs. Incredibly, as soon as these beasts are seen, they can vanish into the night.

One story that is well-known, took place at St. Mary's Church in Bungay, Suffolk, England. It was Sunday, August 4th 1577. Apparently, the black dog appeared in the church during a storm, and went on a rampage of death and destruction. Those that perished could not withstand the black dogs attacks with claws as sharp as razors.

Legend has it, that the hellhound, quietly, sneaks, and creeps around the towns of England. The beast can be watching you, and you might not ever know it. It can get close to you, and by the time you realize it, it's too late. ​
