1645, Sir Hugo Baskerville kidnapped the beautiful daughter
of a farmer. The girl escaped across the moor at night. Sir
Hugo and his friends pursued her with hunting dogs. A
strange black animal with huge fiery eyes attacked Sir Hugo
and killed him. Since that time many Baskervilles have died
young. This is the Curse of the Baskervilles. Some people
believe that the Hound of the Baskervilles still walks on the
moor at night. 5 No. 6 Near the house, on the edge of
the moor. 7 Some of the footprints were Sir Charles
Baskerville’s. The others were the footprints of a gigantic
hound.
