Cryptids: Shuck

  • mythicallore

    Cryptozoology is the study of creatures whose existence has yet to be - or else cannot entirely be- proved or disproved by science. These creatures, known collectively as cryptids, include examples like the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, and the Himalayan Yeti, yet these famous cases are by no means the only ones on record. In fact, practically every country and corner of the globe has its own legendary monster or mystery creature that supposedly dwells there, from giant bats in Java to enormous water hounds in Ireland.

    The folklore of the British Isles is littered with tales of mysterious black dogs that supposedly haunt rural towns and villages across the country.  The Shuck - a huge black hound said to dwell in East Anglia, on the far eastern coast of England - probably one of the most famous, having apparently attacked a church in the village of Bungay, Suffolk, during a thunderstorm in 1577. According to local records, while the villagers  were sheltering from the storm in the church, a huge black god burst through the church door, killing a man and his son, and pulling down one of the pillars supporting the church steeple, which collapsed into the nave. As it fled the church, the Shuck apparently left scorch marks in the wood of the church door that can still be seen to this day.
