Black dog (ghost)

A "black dog" ghost is a type of ghost or spirit that is said to look like a big, black dog. Some people believe that when they see a black dog ghost, it means that something bad is going to happen. But really, it's just a scary story that people tell each other for fun. Ghosts aren't real, so there's nothing to be scared of. It's okay to be afraid of the dark or things that go bump in the night, but remember that ghosts are just pretend.
