IN THIS EPISODE: One of our Weirdo family members has asked if I wouldn’t consider doing an episode on man’s best friend – but as this is Weird Darkness I couldn’t very well just pull a bunch of stories of dogs saving lives of lost children, or walking hundreds of miles back to their families after being left behind on a trip, or solving a crime by sniffing out drugs in an airport. So in this episode we’re talking about dogs of the supernatural kind – the ghostly dogs, the specters and phantoms in canine form.
