GABRIEL HOUNDS

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 381 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
GABRIEL HOUNDS , a spectral
pack
  supposed in the
North
  of
England
  to foretell death by their yelping at night. The
legend
  is that they are the souls of unbaptized children wandering through the air till the day of judgment. They are also some-times called Gabriel or Gabble Ratchet. A very prosaic ex-planation of this nocturnal noise is given by J. C.
Atkinson
  in his
Cleveland
  Glossary (1868). "This," he writes, " is the name for a yelping
sound
  heard at night, more or less resembling the cry of hounds or yelping of dogs, probably due to large flocks of wild geese which
chance
  to be flying by night."
See further Joseph Lucas, Studies in Nidderdale (1882), pp.
156-157.
