The Moddey Dhoo /ˈmɔːðə ðoʊ/[1] (Manx Gaelic, meaning "black dog")[1][2][3] is a phantom black dog in Manx folklore that reputedly haunted Peel Castle on the west coast of the Isle of Man.[4] The Manx name Moddey Dhoo was transcribed as Mauthe Doog (/ˈmɔːðə doʊɡ/) by an influential 18th-Century English-speaking folklore source, which led to a history of misspellings of the proper name.
