Barghest: In Northern English folklore, the Barghest or Barguest is a mythical monstrous black dog with large teeth and claws;[1] however, in other cases, the name can refer to a ghost or household elf, especially in Northumberland and Durham, such as the Cauld Lad of Hylton.

Quote:"Ghost" in Northern England was pronounced "guest", and the origin is thought to be of the combination burh-ghest, "town-ghost". Others explain it as cognate to German Berg-geist, "mountain ghost" or Bär-geist, "bear-ghost".[1] Another mooted derivation is Bahr-Geist, German for the "spirit of the funeral bier".[2]
