Writer's Block: Paranormal activity

In 1997 I walked into town from Fulham Gardens and cut a path along the River Torrens and was still halfway along the river when night fell. And I wasn't too far from the Morphett Street bridge when something caught my attention on the riverbank. Namely, a pitch-black dog lying there, which kind of ... blended/melded into shadows kind of creepily, that had eyes that were a deep, dying-ember red that flickered.  And it swung its head my way and got to its feet and didn't make a single sound.

My response was pretty straightforward.

 

/just. kept. walking.

I was back there several times during the day, lookng for the right set of circumstances to have given me an optical illusion of what the Mad Russian and I affectionately termed The Hellhound (made no sound, must be a trick of the light), but we never found anything.  We did find a ghost story about a dog associated with the river, though.

That was really in all likelihood the best response you could have had. There are definitely a few possibilities, but any time something manifests as a dog it seems to be exceptionally territorial. So, yes... continuing on without any outward reaction to it, definitely a good plan. O__o
