The Hell Dogs of Eldorado Canyon starts in the late 1800’s. Many people set out to make their fortune among the mountains of the west. Miners took to hillside and canyon deep, looking for gold. With this profession came many dangers.



Dogs were brought along. Trained to be vicious towards wild animal and unknown persons alike. They were meant for protection against thieves. Because of the savagery of these hounds, some turned on their owners.



The dogs to mean to be trained were either shot or left to die in the wilderness rather than brought back to the miner’s families. The dogs of Eldorado are said to still stalk the area, protecting the mines of gold. People have reported growling and barking deep in the cavern, and some have said they have spotted shadowy canine shapes. A few have even claimed to have been attacked by unknown black creatures.



Two brothers who were curious of the legend decided to venture into the canyon to hunt the demon hounds. When they came to an abandoned mineshaft, they found a weather old chain embed in the rock just passed the entrance. At the end of the chain lay the skull of what appeared to be a large dog.



The sun was setting and the brothers decided to camp outside the mines entrance. As the two ate dinner, they listened to what sounded like whimpering. Brushing the sounds off as coyote, the two continued to entertain themselves around the fire, until the feel of the night shifted.



The air felt thick and heavy as the tension began to settle into the brothers. After a few moments, growls began to seep from the shadows. Frozen with fear, the brothers sat at their fire until they heard the distinct sound of a rattling chain. Leaping to their feet, one brother shined a flashlight into the mine.



The two stared in disbelief as they saw blood spattered on the rock walls. The chain fell to the ground from nowhere and the brothers sprinted to their car as they heard a phantom dog coming their way.



As the brothers sped out of the canyon, the heard barking from dogs following the car. The sound was clearly not one, but a pack. The locals say the boys were chased out by the Hell Dogs of Eldarodo.
