Are a range of mountainous cliffs and Ridges Overlooking the city of meridian the Hills are popular amongst hikers Cyclists and rock climbers they are also If local folklore is to be believed Home to a rare creature a supernatural Hound Known as the black dog of the hanging Hills Stories proclaiming the beast’s Existence have circulated in oral Tradition For decades it is said that the Otherworldly creature Is a herald of fortune if you meet the Black dog once It shall be for joy if twice it shall be For sorrow And the third time shall bring death One of the earliest written accounts of The black dog can be found in the Connecticut quarterly An illustrated magazine that was active From 1895 To 1908. in the magazine’s second volume Of 1898 An article by the geologist w hc Pinchen described an encounter that had Taken place some seven years earlier on The 6th of february 1891 according to pinchen the encounter Was deadly Resulting in the death of his friend
Herbert marshall Another geologist with whom pension was Working The men were conducting geological Research in the hanging hills When they saw a black dog this was not However a novel sight for either man Years before when pinchen had been a Student studying rocks in a valley close To west peak in the hills what he Described as the same Dog had trotted along the road watching Him As he worked pinchen wrote that he Seemed friendly And kept in company even following him In his wagon all the way up to west peak And later down into southington where Pinchen stopped for dinner Certainly the geologist wrote that dog Was a philosopher for he was inquisitive Watchful and determined to follow him Everywhere the creature was light at Foot And not once did pinch and hear him bark As the day drew to an End they the dog pinchen and his horse Passed along the same route they had Taken earlier towards the spot where the Geologist had first encountered the Canine As the last light of the setting sun was Just touching the highest rocks The dog stopped looked back at pinchhen
For a moment And then vanished into the woods sad to Have lost his companion the geologist Whistled and called for the black dog But it seemed as though it had Disappeared Entirely as for marshall he had seen the Dog twice Before 1891 was therefore His third encounter it was also his last That day the weather had been terrible And the man battled to trudge Through the snow near west peak marshall Was in the lead And pinchen recalled how he had stopped And wordlessly Pointed to the top of the cliff there High on the rocks above the geologists Stood a black dog It was like the one pinchen had Encountered previously By this time however pinchen through his Discussion with marshall the previous Evening Had learned of the legend of the black Dog and was therefore Unsettled to see him according to his Article The hound looked jet black against the Snow As he and marshall watched the creature Raised his head And the men saw his breath rise steaming From his jaws
But no sound came through the biting air The black dog looked back at the Geologists then bound it away Marshall was terrified although he had Said he did not believe in the stories In that moment he was converted turning To pension He supposedly said i did not believe it Before I believe it now and it is the third Time At that very moment even as he spoke The fragment of rock on which he stood Slipped There was a cry and pinchen found Himself alone Marshall had plunged to his death Later when marshall’s body was recovered Those who found him claimed that a black Dog Had been watching over him as they Approached The creature is said to have fled back Into the snowy shadows From which it had come as friendly as The hound may have first appeared It so it turned out was a terrible omen Of death far from being a 19th century Quirk The legend of the black dog of the Hanging hills has persisted Indeed it is still regularly reported by Visitors to the hills With at least six deaths having been
Blamed On third meetings with the black dog Only last year A visitor to the hanging hills shared an Encounter they had In the spring of 2014 writing on reddit They explained how they and their wife Regularly hike The range taking a trail up to castle Craig A stone tower that overlooks the cliffs And the city below On that particular trip they claim to Have seen something peculiar A small figure on the side of the road Leading up to castle craig between some Shrubbery Blurry but most certainly there the Figure resembled a black dog With floppy ears and a hot dog tail According to the hiker It was much like the one illustrated in Pension’s 1898 article The ethereal dog-like figure so the Poster writes Crossed the road dawdling with its nose To the ground It did not stop to look at the couple And they Having heard the local legend were too Shocked to move Similar is an encounter reported by Michael anastasio A meridian native and former us marine
In 2004 he was taking photographs at Castle Craig when he noticed a dog standing by The tower There were no other people around Besides anastasio and his brother No obvious owner for the dog it also Supposedly had no collar or tags In short it had seemingly appeared from Nowhere Strangest of all however was the uncanny Resemblance that the creature bore to The black dog in pinchen’s article Anastasia was able to photograph the dog And Whilst it appears to resemble an earthly Animal the prevalence of the legend is Difficult to ignore Fortunately for anastasio and his Brother this was their first And hopefully last encounter with the Black dog Of the hanging hills thank you so much For watching If you enjoyed this video please like And subscribe for more of the paranormal Equally you can sign up to my email Newsletter on paranormalscholar.com to Ensure you never miss an Upload and if you cannot wait until my Next video Why not watch the one suggested on Screen now Until next time
