Whist Hounds

Whist hounds are ghostly hounds.  They are believed to be a form of wild hunters led by the devil. But their leader and chief is in fact Sir Francis Drake.  Whist hounds are also known as Head-less hounds and/or wish hounds.

    I am guessing they are not to be owned and hopefully not experienced.

    You'll have to explain the Sir Francis Drake bit... he comes from down my way, and I'm sure I've never heard about ghost hounds!
