We invite you to meet her with us.
We are in 1914, and the British arrived in their first incursion to this small Belgian town to face the German troops that were occupying this region.That long battle is remembered as something so bloody that according to the witnesses who managed to survive it, the mist of dawn always smelled of blood and damp earth.
The battle ended up being like most of the fighting in the First World War: through the trenches, with artillery fire breaking the silence of those lands, machine gun batteries, hard fighting between the mud, open wounds and that environmental humidity that stuck in the soul .There were hundreds of victims.
The soldiers ended up calling that area "Nobody's Land" .Alli was only going to die, no progress was ever seen by either side, it was a hollow that cut the spirits and lasted almost 2 years.So much so, that even the British themselves came to consider the withdrawal at more than some time.Especially when the "hell dog" arrived.
When night fell, and when the attacks stopped and both enemies they established a momentary truce to recover their dead and wounded on the battlefield, a howl was heard.Halfway between a wolf and a dog, the shadow of a sinister animal near the barbed wires always appeared at midnight of the trenches.And he fiercely attacked both Germans and Britons. He was called Mons' Hound.
He pounced on the men tearing their throats, brutal attacks that raised the terror among all the combatants.If there was not enough with the machine guns You pray, when the calm fell on Mons, that monster came out of nowhere, and the terror it provoked was something that was installed deeply in each man, an atrocious fear that tasted like rust in the mouth, a panic that as we say, later picked up a war journalist after hearing the same story by dozens of men.
The story of The Hound of Mons was published in 1919 by the Ada Evening News of Oklahoma, but later, I end up in infinite publications of American territory.In that article there was, for example, the case of a London captain and his four riflemen.It was a small patrol that tried to take a German position overnight by surprise. They never arrived.And it wasn't for the enemy at all ...It was for the hound of Mons.Days later they found the bodies shattered.
For the press it was almost like a horror story that anyone could compare with those of Arthur Conan Doyle, however, for those who lived in the first person and came alive from the battle of Mons and of the dog from hell, that being actually had little "ghostly".
There was talk of a genetic experiment by German laboratories, and especially the name was from a scientist: Gottlieb Hochmuller. However, today this story falls into what is considered "cryptozoology", a simple legend that has not been able to prove anything., it was nothing more than the terror of men in wartime who came to see more enemies than they already had.
