    The Hound of the Baskervilles: Dartmoor’s Demon Dogs

    It’s 1901. Writer Arthur Conan Doyle is on holiday when he first hears whispers of a chilling local legend - spectral hounds said to tear across the wilds of Dartmoor under cover of darkness. A tale of an evil squire. A cursed family. And a pack of demonic dogs haunting the moors. We’re delving into the story of how this eerie West Country folklore inspired one of the greatest gothic thrillers of all time: The Hound of the Baskervilles - and why its creation posed a huge dilemma for Doyle and his most famous character, Sherlock Holmes. Joining Michelle is dark heritage expert Dr Romany Reagan to dig into folklore, fear, and the beasts that stalk our minds. Get ready for a spine-tingling first ever episode of Beastly History!
