Peel Castle - Christmas Haunting

Gruesome, too, is the story of the "Manx Dog" which haunts Peel Castle each Christmas Day. This is a dreadful apparition of a misshapen hound, pure white about the body, with red, cavernous jaws. The story goes that a soldier of the garrison, in a spirit of bravado, went one Christmas night alone to the gallery where the "Manx Dog" roamed. He returned a gibbering idiot, and died the next day.
