For centuries and across nearly every culture on earth, enormous black dogs with glowing red eyes have appeared to the living as omens of death — and the people who dismissed the legend rarely lived long enough to regret it. *No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast* IN THIS EPISODE: One of our Weirdo family members has asked if I wouldn’t consider doing an episode on man’s best friend – but as this is Weird Darkness I couldn’t very well just pull a bunch of stories of dogs saving lives of lost children, or walking hundreds of miles back to their families after being left behind on a trip, or solving a crime by sniffing out drugs in an airport. So in this episode we’re talking about dogs of the supernatural kind – the ghostly dogs, the specters and phantoms in canine form.  HELPFUL LINKS & RESOURCES… https://WeirdDarkness.com/STORE = Tees, Mugs, Socks, Hoodies, Totes, Hats, Kidswear & More https://WeirdDarkness.com/HOPE = Hope For Depression or Thoughts of Self-Harm https://WeirdDarkness.com/NEWSLETTER = In-Depth Articles, Memes, Weird DarkNEWS, Videos & More https://WeirdDarkness.com/AUDIOBOOKS = FREE Audiobooks Narrated By Darren Marlar SOURCES and RESOURCES:“Ghostly Dogs and Phantom Hounds” from LookAndLearn.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/bbnfdtyc, Anomalien.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/xznp7j4, Ancient-Origins.net: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/vavhruuj, TransCeltic.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/d8s3mhhd, and MysteriousBritain.co.uk: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2cwk3kxr, https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/f385mrjm===== (Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
