Aloha Tide Riders and welcome back to the third installment of our British Isles Saga. This week on Strange Tides, we unravel one of the most terrifying and mysterious legends of the Channel Islands — the tale of the Black Dog of Bouley Bay. For generations, locals on the island of Jersey have spoken in hushed tones about a massive, shadowy hound that prowls the cliffside roads above Bouley Bay — a creature with glowing red eyes, jet-black fur, and a silent, menacing presence.The Black Dog is said to appear most often on stormy nights or in thick fog, terrifying late-night travelers and fishermen returning from the sea. Some say it’s a guardian spirit, others claim it’s a demonic entity or a shapeshifting interdimensional being. A few chilling tales suggest that those who come too close are never seen again...But here’s where things get even wilder — this isn’t just local lore. The legend has deep connections to the wider black dog mythology found across the British Isles: from the Barghest of Yorkshire to the Black Shuck of East Anglia. Is it a shared cultural archetype, or could these sightings point to a real phenomenon?We also look into theories tying the Black Dog to ancient ley lines, UFO encounters, and even psychic projections of fear. Plus, we’ll discuss the modern day reports from Bouley Bay that led some to believe the dog was protecting something — or someone.Join us as we walk the winding coastal paths of Jersey, dig into folklore, and shine a light on the dark corners of this enduring mystery.Suit up, keep your eyes on the road… and if you hear heavy paws and chains behind you, don’t turn around.Links:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3285816-time-stormshttps://pixabay.com/users/leandro73baldocchi-20968320/https://pixabay.com/music/rock-psychedelic-rock-108787/https://pixabay.com/users/thefealdoproject-4574887/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=music&utm_content=11864https://pixabay.com/music//?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=music&utm_content=11864http://tinyurl.com/thepaganminstrelhttps://pixabay.com/users/iuvenis-48164725/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=music&utm_content=288136https://pixabay.com/music//?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=music&utm_content=288136https://pixabay.com/users/juliush-3921568/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=music&utm_content=2943https://pixabay.com//?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=music&utm_content=2943
