Archaeologists have discovered the skeleton of a massive dog that would have stood 7 feet tall on its hind legs, in the ruins of Leiston Abbey in Suffolk, England, according to a news report in The Express. The remains are near where an ancient legend spoke of a hellhound called Black Shuck, said to have flaming red eyes and a rugged black coat, who terrorized villagers.
The name Shuck derives from the Old English word scucca meaning ‘demon’. He is one of many ghostly black dogs recorded across the British Isles. Its alleged appearance during a storm on 4thAugust, 1577 at the Holy Trinity Church, Blythburgh, is a particularly famous account of the beast, in which legend says that thunder caused the doors of the church to burst open and the snarling dog crashed in and ran through the congregation, killing a man and a boy, before it fled when the steeple collapsed.
According to Wikipedia, “A hellhound is a supernatural dog in folklore. A wide variety of ominous or hellish supernatural dogs occur in mythologies around the world, similar to the oft-seen dragon. Features that have been attributed to hellhounds include black fur, glowing red – or sometimes yellow - eyes, super strength or speed, ghostly or phantom characteristics, foul odor, and sometimes even the ability to talk. “

Have the Remains of a Massive Hell Hound been Discovered in the town of Suffolk, England?
Thats comin' up!
According to folklore, a massive beast known as Black Shuck is known for torturing the town of Suffolk, England around the year 1577.
In fact, the beast is so notorious it is embedded in the town today - restaurants, bars, and sports teams still reminisenc about the demon by naming themselves after it.
According to legend, the beast was first discovered during a frightful storm when a clap of thunder caused the doors of a local church to fly open...allowing the beast to go on a rampage inside where it ripped apart two members of the service whilst they were praying.
The spawn of satan didn't stop there though, allegedly it further continued its rampage by repeating the same acts of violence at another nearby church.
The hell hound was only a myth until recently when a company called "Dig Venture" started to unearth what appeared to be a myserious grave.
Guess what they found beneath the earth of Suffolk near a local church....the skeleton of what appears to be a daughntingly huge seven foot tall wolf like creature.
They found remains that strongly suggest the Black Shuck was a real animal that roamed the city just around the date the legends say it did.
Did they just find the Black Shuck hellhound of legend?
