| Encounter: |
On August 5th 1973, a man
and his friend were about to drive from Henstead south to Bawdsey to
canoe off the coast. As they rounded a corner of the road, still near
Henstead, they saw a "huge black dog" with "something like a mane"
standing in the road, apparently looking at them. The man said that it
"seemed to be there and was just gone", and open getting out there was
no trace of it, even though there were open fields all around.
The man became convinced it was Shuck
because shortly after, although both experienced canoeists, their boat
capsized and they were nearly drowned. He connected the experience with
tales of Shuck being an ill-omen. |
