In other traditions similar spectral hounds are found, e.g. Gabriel Hounds (England), Ratchets (England), Yell Hounds (Isle of Man), related to Herne the Hunter's hounds, which form part of the Wild Hunt. Similar hounds occur in Devon - particularly on Dartmoor - and Cornwall but it is not clear whether they stem from Brythonic or Saxon origins.The Hound of the Baskervilles: Hunting the Dartmoor Legend, P Weller,Halsgrove, 2008
