#FairyTaleTuesday #31DaysofHaunting: The #Barguest is thought to be a portent of death. This beast with red flaming eyes `led all the dogs of a district on a rampage through an area where death was about to occur, all howling and creating a memorable disturbance.`

Been looking at spectral dogs and the different names in dialect: barguest, padfoot, bloody tongue etc. Surely nothing comes close to 'Carlo' from #Derby. #folklore #supernatural #furries @folklorepod

There's a mouth
that will devour you.
It's somewhere
around here.
It gawps, like a patient dog,
anytime you're near.
