🎃 Welcome To The First Halloween Special of Spirit Hounds 🎃
When the wind howls across the marshes of East Anglia, locals whisper about a black hound with eyes like fire — a warning from the other side.
In this Spirit Hounds Halloween Special, Davina and Nicky dig into the legend of Black Shuck, Britain’s most famous ghost dog… and a terrifying personal encounter that still haunts Nicky to this day.
👻 Late one night in a London hospital, Nicky saw her — a nurse who stopped at the end of his bed, stared… and disappeared.
🕯️ Two hauntings. One Halloween. Join Spirit Hounds for an episode filled with folklore, fear, and the unbreakable bond between dogs and the afterlife.
🎧 Listen if you dare… but keep your dog close.
