Buckland Shag is the name for a water horse in Devon, England. It emerges from the water to trample its victims to death in a horrible manner. The red-stained rocks of that part of Devon are said to be the bloodstains of its victims. Its depredations ended when the Vicar of Buckland exorcized the beast with bell, book and candle, after which it troubled travellers no more.
