The phantom black dog

The ghost of a black, fiery dog also appeared at Sirotčí hrad, also called Červený hrádek. One might encounter it at night, but sometimes even by day. It bounded along the paths descending the steep slope from the ruins towards Klentnice. For that reason people were advised not to linger near the ruins at night.
