rashore Posted November 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Quote In the early 1900s, the docks of Louisville, Kentucky were terrorized by a death-dealing monster, striking panic into the hearts of the African-American community. Who was this horrifying serial killer, feared in alley and on riverboat? It was, strangely,—a dog—not a rabid dog foaming at the mouth or a luminous Baskerville hell-hound, but a small yellow mongrel with the incongruous name of Rosenbaum, and a deadly penchant for befriending men who shortly thereafter died. It was said that he was named for his first master, a man who kept a Louisville “barrel house,” according to a 1918 article in the Louisville Courier-Journal. Mr. Rosenbaum “imbibed daily of the liquor that cheers or depresses, until one day he was found dead, with the dog standing by his body.” He was the first fatality. The second followed several weeks after. http://hauntedohiobooks.com/news/animal-tales/louisvilles-hoodoo-dog-14567/ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
