Hound Of The Baskervilles

One example of a supernatural idea in this story is the whole legend of “The Hound”. This can be clearly seen on p.6 when out of an old manuscript it is read “a foul thing, a great black beast, larger than any other beast with great blazing eyes and a jaw dripping with blood”.

When Stapleton offers the explanation “The peasants say it is the Hound of the Baskervilles calling for it’s prey” p. 50 we are tricked into believing that the roar that was heard by Dr. Watson was that of the supernatural beast known as “The Hound”.

Darwinian logic also plays a grand role in this story. Mostly through the great detective Sherlock Holmes and his feats of defeating the supernatural and other forms of mystery with a logical explanation. A clear example of this would be when Holmes deduces when, where, and a profile of the person who sent a threatening letter to Sir Henr
