DRUGGEN HILL BOOGLE

Folklore of Europe

In the folklore of this district of Cumberland in the northwest of England, a story is told of the disappearance of a peddler in the nineteenth century. This coincided with the appearance of the monstrous BLACK DOG, considered to be a type of BOGIE beast that terrorized and attacked travelers in the district at night. The local people connected the incidents, and when the peddler's body was found and interred in the churchyard, the BLACK DOG was no longer reported. The horrific injuries that it had inflicted on it's victims at last started to heal.
