So, it was more of an ominous thing to see a black dog. As far as locations are concerned, some researchers have suggested sightings of black dogs fall on Ley Line links, ancient areas of prehistoric significance (ancient burial mounds etc). But why they should also occur on more modern day "lines" like railway tracks is more confusing. There's a good book that delves into all this titled "Mystery Big Cats" by Merrily Harpur, which addresses this very issue re why certain weird animals are seen in specific locations (railway lines, etc). The book offers some notable theories - but they won't please those people who think these animals are all flesh and blood only! Irishpheonix:

There's definitely a lot of weird UFO activity over the Chase. Back in the late 80s and 90s there were many reports from the area of large, black triangular shaped UFOs flying over the woods. Also, several alleged landing cases and "Ball-Lightning" type reports too. Steve

We live in a 3rd story flat in Cannock overlooking the chase. She said it was the shape of a cod-liver oil tablet but the colour of fire & quite bright (bright enough to distract her from the telly! lol). She said that it stood still for a bit, then descended rapidly. Thats all she saw. I remember her telling me, but i didnt look in time, and dismissed it as a plane or something. But when she read that article in the chase post, she said "Thats what i saw - I told you i saw something!" I just thought i'd add our little piece. I'm still quite sceptical, but I believe she saw something, and it was no shooting star.

I saw your crypto blog and the item about The Creature from the Black Lagoon. I live pretty close to where it and one of the Airport movies was filmed. It's a place called Wakulla Springs... http://www.floridastateparks.org/wakullasprings/default.cfm Nice place but often crawling with Rednecks!
