The Black Dog of Newgate is a phantom dog found in Newgate Prison in London England. The Black Dog of Newgate is described as a spectral black dog who is very aggressive and is very large in size. The legend of the Black Dog of Newgate is that during the reign of King Henry III a man accused of being a warlock was arrested during the middle of a famine. Due to the lack of food the prisoners resorted to cannibalism and eventually attacked the warlock who was unable to defend himself and devoured. After the death of the warlock, the prisoners started to see a black dog who attacked and killed anyone involved in the cannibalism of the warlock. Some people saw the Black Dog and were horrified and escaped Newgate Prison only to be tracked down by the Black Dog and killed. -- source link
