| Encounter: |
In December 1952, a man was driving "on the Breck Road
leading towards Ampton" with two passengers, his sister the local author
Beryl Dyson, and her husband. Suddenly a black dog appeared in his headlights, in the middle of the road in front of him, causing him to serve so violently that he almost overturned the car. He said that it had appeared and vanished "in a trice", and that there were no hedges or trees beside the road that could have hidden it either coming or going. Shortly afterwards, two members of his family passed away, and he has never forgotten the incident. |
