Popular Romances of the West of England: Romances of Tregeagle: Chaney's Hounds

CHENEY'S HOUNDS. IN the parish of St Teath, a pack of hounds was once kept by an old squire named Cheney. How he or they died I cannot learn; but on "Cheney Downs" the ghosts of the dogs are sometimes seen, and often heard, in rough weather. In the western parishes of the county, I can name several places which are said to be haunted by the "wish hounds." [a] [a] See Athenaeum, No. 1013, March 27, 1847.
