| Location: | From Hunstanton to Cromer, NORFOLK |
| Legend: | "In North Norfolk his existence is explained by a shipwreck off the coast in which two men were drowned and washed up. Being strangers, it was decided to bury them in two different parishes. Shuck is the ghost of a [black] dog, belonging to one of the men, who was also washed up in the tragedy; he runs backwards and forwards to this day between Hunstanton and Cromer, uncertain which grave contains his master." |
