Researcher Theo Brown has divided the phantom black dogs into three separate categories: 1) a shape-shifting demon dog; 2) a large black dog about the size of a calf with dark shaggy fur; 3) a dog that manifests in association with particular ancient festivals in various parts of the country.

Unexplained Mysteries (theunexplainedmysteries.com/phantom-dogs.html) discovered different names for the black dogs that bring death and disaster in different counties. Among the fearful names are Bogey Beast, Lancashire; Black Shuck, East Anglia; Cu Sith, Highlands (dark green in color, rather than black); Gurt Dog, Somerset; Hairy Jack, Lincolnshire; Mauthe Dog, Scotland; and Padfoot, Yorkshire.
