A Straunge and Terrible Wunder

by Abraham Fleming

A short Elizabethan pamphlet describing the storm of 4 August 1577 at Bungay and Blythburgh in Suffolk, when a black dog was said to have appeared in church and killed worshippers. Fleming presents the event as a divine warning, and the tract is the source of the Black Shuck tradition.
