Jersey Myths and Legends
The Black Dog of Bouley Bay
Many years ago in Trinity, people talked of a black dog that was the size of a bull with enormous red eyes that glowed like fire. He would walk the cliff paths around Bouley Bay at night, dragging its chain behind him. There were many rumors of the Black Dog, some said a sighting of him meant a storm was coming, whereas others said he led lost travelers to safety. Others said that the Black Dog would chase people to scare them, but he would never hurt them.
It is still said now that if you see the ghost of the Black Dog at Bouley Bay, it is a sign that a storm is coming your way.”
