the Black Dog of the Hanging Hills

A legendary ghost that is said to have lived in the Hanging Hills in Connecticut. (Please be aware the area is named after the terrain found in the area, as far as I'm aware of no hangings have happened there.) According to the legend, if you see it once, it is a sign of joy and good luck. If you see it a second time, it is a warning. If an individual sees the dog a third time, it considered to be a death omen. It is thought by some to be responsible for the deaths of six people, including two U.S. geological surveyors in the late 1,800s who didn't respect its previous warnings because they assumed the legend was a myth even though both supposedly had seen the black dog prior to meeting their demises. In a way it could be argued that the Black dog of the Hanging Hills is a symbol of power for the dead and individuals who are trying to stand to the U.S. government because of their inconsiderate actions against various populations.
The story about the Black Dog of the Hanging Hills was originally published the Connecticut Quarterly in 1898. It was originally thought to be piece of fiction, but that has been debated for a number of years now due to the author's background, the story's original title, the number of people died in the Hanging Hills, and various other things related to the story.

Richard Black

You are a man of mystique, but I am close to solving your mystery. You are kind with a streak of bad. A dreamer. A lover. A genuine friend to a few lucky souls. You have an intellect with a magnitude you haven't yet fully discovered, but I have. A calm that tempers my worst fears, and a quiet storm that may quench only a few. But behind that storm rages a force that I have been waiting for all my life. One day you will find this and be blown away, as I have been all these years. Richard Black, this is your definition.
