P.S. Another vision of Headless Horse is prevalent at Caistor Castle,
the seat of the Fastolfs.

_Shuck the Dog-fiend_.--This phantom I have heard many persons in East
Norfolk, and even Cambridgeshire, describe as having seen as a black
shaggy dog, with fiery eyes, and of immense size, and who visits
churchyards at midnight. One witness nearly fainted away at seeing it,
and on bringing his neighbours to see the place where he saw it, he
found a large spot as if gunpowder had been exploded there. A lane
in the parish of Overstrand is called, after him, Shuck's Lane. The
name appears to be a corruption of "shag," as _shucky_ is the Norfolk
dialect for "shaggy." Is not this a vestige of the German "Dog-fiend?"
