The Black Shuck – England

Nearest city: Bungay, Suffolk

A huge, spectral black dog with glowing red or green eyes, the Black Shuck is one of England’s most enduring pieces of folklore. The most infamous account took place in 1577, when the beast reportedly burst into Blythburgh Church during a thunderstorm, killing two parishioners and leaving scorch marks on the door — still visible today. Sightings continue along the coastline and lonely roads of Norfolk and Suffolk, where the Shuck is considered a harbinger of death. Modern ghost hunters report phantom growls, claw marks, and glowing eyes in the darkness.
