Trag-eagle Ghost: The Malevolent Spirit of Tregeagle, Cornwall The haunting figure in this evocative image is that of the Trag-eagle Ghost, a legendary Cornish specter said to haunt the shores of Dozmary Pool in Cornwall, England. According to local folklore, Trag-eagle was an evil-doing Cornishman who met his end at the hands of the law. Despite being buried in the depths of the pool, his restless spirit could not be contained. Each night, he would attempt to escape, only to be met by the relentless Hounds of Hell, who awaited him at the water's edge. The origins of the Trag-eagle Ghost legend are unclear, but it is believed to have originated in the Middle Ages. The name "Trag-eagle" is thought to derive from the Cornish language, meaning 'tragic eagle,' a reference to the tragic end of the Cornishman's life. The image of the Trag-eagle Ghost is a chilling reminder of the supernatural beliefs that once held sway over the people of Cornwall. The pool itself is steeped in myth and legend, with tales of otherworldly creatures and hidden treasures. It is said that the pool is bottomless, and that those who dare to venture too close at night may be greeted by the haunting howls of the Hounds of Hell. Despite the passage of time, the legend of the Trag-eagle Ghost continues to captivate the imaginations of visitors to Dozmary Pool. The image of the ghostly figure, with its piercing eyes and outstretched arms, is a reminder of the power of the supernatural to inspire fear and wonder in equal measure.
