Description: The violent and unnatural death of Sir Charles Baskerville, of Baskerville Hall, is attributed by villagers to the curse of the Hound, an ancient ghost which slew his wicked ancestor in 1648 and has since brought doom on his descendants. The report that the legendary hound has actually been seen again brings Watson and Holmes upon the scene just in time to avert another terrible tragedy.
