One of the oldest legends in English folklore, ‘Black Shuck’ is the name given to a ghostly black dog that has roamed the Norfolk and Suffolk countryside for centuries. According to folklore Black Shuck takes the form of a large shaggy black dog with huge flaming red eyes the size of saucers. He haunts the lanes and footpaths particularly along the East Anglian coastline. No-one knows for sure where Black Shuck came from. Some believe that the demon dog has its origins in Norse mythology and that he accompanied the God, Thor, to Great Britain on the Viking long boats thousands of years ago. Others believe that a Danish fisherman, a Saxon fisherman and a black dog got into trouble whilst out fishing. The body of the Danish fisherman was washed up at Beeston, while the body of the Saxon fisherman washed up at Overstrand and the dog, Black Shuck, has roamed the coastline in between looking for his masters ever since.
