Appeared mysterious monsters in Dartmoor (English)

In 2007, a photo of a group of students going on a picnic (pictured) on the rock of Hound (Dartmoor, England) caused a big commotion.

The way the crowd was not far away, the beast staggered across the meadow with black, thick and jagged fur, round ears, strong, front legs, " promising " to tear apart any opponent. Many people believe that it is most likely a bear or an old wolf. But whatever it is, the Dartmoor beast still makes all the farmers in the area sleepless for the night because of fear that the herd will be attacked.

Falconer Martin Whitley, the author of the picture, remembers: 'The animal is only about 200 meters away from where I stand. Its giant body covered with thick black and gray hair. The shoulders are upped like a bull's shoulder, round ears, long and thick tails, seemingly truncated at the tail end. Based on the movement, it seems that it's a female. '

"At that time the students were climbing on the rocks taking pictures, causing quite a lot of noise. But somehow the beast ignored it and just left it."

According to rumors of the locals , in the past Hound rock has appeared a group of ghost dogs called " Hell Dog " or " Whist Dog ". This legend is the inspiration for writer Arthur Conan Doyle to write the episode " The Dog of the Baskervilles Family " in the novel about detective Sherlock Holmes.
