Thread Name: Req: Awful Tale of Black Shuck (Kipper Family)
Subject: RE: Req: Awful Tale of Black Shuck (Kipper Family)
I found a Myths and Folklore Wiki that tells me, in part:Black Shuck, Old Shuck, Old Shock or simply Shuck is the name given to an unknown creature said to roam in East Anglia. Black Shuck is one of many ghostly black dogs recorded across the British Isles. The famous sighting in Bungay and Blythburg is a particularly famous account of the beast, and images of black sinister dogs have become part of the iconography of the area. In Wales a very similar creature is called a Gwyllgi.
But can someone supply the lyrics for the Kipper Family song, now that I've corrected the thread title?
