On Hanging Hills there are rare occasions where people see a black dog. The dog is said to be nothing unique in appearance. It's a moderate size has black fur, and nothing noticeable about it's appearance. he strange thing about the dog is that when he barks he makes no sound and seemingly disappears when people come close. There's never any evidence he'd ever been there as he doesn't even leave footprints.
Geologist W.H.C.Pynchon had written the earliest accounts of the mysterious black dog in 1898 Even though the legend had been around for much longer. Pynchon mentions he saw the dog and it had followed him to a restaurant and back about the path before he mysteriously disappeared around the area he first saw him. Marshall scoffed and claimed to have seen the dog twice already and the legend did not scare him .
Marshall and Pynchon was looking at a rock formation on the edge of a cliff. They noticed the little black dog approach them, and unfortunately Marshall slipped on the ice and fell to his death. Even though his death is labeled an accident many believe that the little black dog was to blame.
Many people claim to have the same experiences even over a 100 years later. There are even some deaths that people believe are caused from the sighting of the black dog today.
