Day 25: Hellhound
He’s a good boy even tho he’s from hell.

Anyway, not kidding about the OCD bit. That became very debilitating as a kid for a while.

Such a huge burden to have to carry at that age, to know that the entire nature of reality depends on you holding certain things together.

But it also makes you despairingly stoical. Hellhounds appear & it’s like, Oh you too, OK, sure, why the fuck not.

But dogs seemed less trivial.

It wasn’t helped by the fact that my grandparents had a large black dog that liked me, so would follow me around silently from room to room when I went to visit them, to be fair.

The number of times I’d see it out of the corner of my eye and be like, ThisisnotEastAnglia. ThisisnotEastAnglia.

The "Hooter" is what "Black Shuck" was known as in my home county of Warwickshire. Fabian the celeb rated detective from Scotland Yard, whilst investigating the "Meon Hill Witchcraft Murder" was shunned after he enquired of the locals as to "Who owns the large black dog I keep seeing in the lanes around Meon Hill?" #FolkloreThursday #Folklore #BlackShuck #Paranormal
