In the notebook of the writer Conan Doyle from the late 19th century, there is a short entry with the following heading: “The Horror of Killakey House. The Black Masses of Eol Ross. The murder of a dwarf. Vision of a monstrous black cat. Death of the heir.
It's hard to say why the true story Killakey House, located in the suburbs of Dublin (Ireland), did not become the topic for the story of the great detective. Most likely, due to the fact that this story is thoroughly saturated with mysticism and devilry, and Conan Doyle decided to move away from the terrible reality and transform it into the invented "Horror of Baskerville House", where it was much easier to unfold the talents of his hero.
Killakey House was built in the early 18th century at the foot of a hill in the foothills of Wicklow, which offers a magnificent view of Dublin. Earl Ross's "hunting lodge" later arose at the top of the hill - a grim two-story stone structure that was actually used by Ross and his friends for the meetings of the Dublin Hellfire Club - in fact, a gathering of Satanists.
In this building, monstrous orgies and drinking parties regularly took place, including black masses for invoking the devil. But since even the devil himself did not want to participate in this, the enraged Earl Ross once put a black cat in his intended place. The fate of the other black cat turned out to be more sad - Earl poured alcohol over it, set it on fire and watched with laughter as the distraught animal screamed down the hill.
But since the devil did not appear this time, for the next black mass, drinking companions caught some crazy dwarf with a disfigured body and a disproportionately large head, and sacrificed him. After that, under strange circumstances, the "hunting lodge" burned down to the ground. Ross and company moved to the foot of the hill at Killakey House, where the orgies continued.

A Black Cat Visited Me At The Hospital, But No One Saw Her
This story was told yesterday by a Reddit user with the nickname "PotteryWalrus". According to him, at first he dared to tell it to his girlfriend, and then he decided to post it on the network for public discussion. “In 2010, fluid appeared in my lungs when the cold time of day came and I had to stay in the hospital for ten days.

Briton From Cornwall Was Attacked By A Huge Black Cat
For more than a dozen years, mysterious huge cats have been seen in Great Britain. People met with them and face to face and saw at a distance. However, no real evidence has been found that leopards or lions escaped from private zoos are roaming the country. As it turned out in each case, no one reported the loss of pets, and a big wild cat actually living in freedom would leave behind much more traces of its stay than a couple of paw prints, and several killed s
Experts Call New Video Of UK Black Cat Convincing
This rather low-quality video, according to experts, is compelling evidence of the existence of large felines in the UK. The photo was taken near the village of Stroud, Gloucestershire.

In London, A Woman Saw A Strange Black Cat And Then The Woman In Black Came To Her
This story was told by the American ufologist Nick Redfern, who heard it in 1995 directly from an eyewitness. But it happened in 1954, when this woman was very young. Her name was Maureen Abbott, and although she saw the strange creature for only a few moments, even after decades she remembered well what she saw - "It was a big black panther." The problem of strange "big cats" is significant for Great Britain, it is in this country that such observations happen more often
After The Death Of His Beloved Cat, The Man Left Himself A Piece Of Her Fur And The Cat Once Came To Him
"In 2014, my cat Susie (completely black) died at the age of 21," says the man, who did not give his name. "I decided not to bury her, but to give her to the vet clinic for cremation, but not to store her ashes, as pets are usually cremated several at a time and it will be impossible to separate Susie's ashes from the rest. The vet, however, kept a small piece of her fur for me and sent me along with a touching postcard.”I was very surprised by this gesture and grace
