I live in Glrentrool about 3 1/2 miles from the Buchan house where this film was shot. Many of the old residents knew of this 'occurence' and worse still believed it, many still do. Now for the science. Domesticated dogs are descended from the grey wolf and are placed in the genus Canis which is itself placed in the family Canidae. The red fox is in the genus Vulpes which is also in the much larger family Canidae. However this is where science debunks urban myth and stupid country folk's superstitions and beliefs. Dogs and Wolves have 78 chromosomes wheras a Fox has either 38 or 34 making it impossible for this supposed hybrid to be realised. The dogs in the film are a mixed bunch with obvious Retriever, Border collie and possibly Spaniel blood in them. There is not even an ounce of Fox to be seen in looks, colour or behaviour. Utter tosh. Trouble is people listen and believe the regurgitated nonsense because they cannot be bothered to investigate known facts. Gossip ruled then and it…
Adrenaline seekers from the past have left an indelible mark on the Pathe archive. Some were so dangerous they even lost their lives. Here are 10 top daredevils.
Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
