THE STORY: LE CHIEN DES BASKERVILLE A terrifying legend has haunted the Baskerville family for generations.

According to the story, an enormous supernatural hound hunts the heirs of the family across the wild and fog-covered moors of Dartmoor.

When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead, his face frozen in terror, strange footprints are discovered near his body—the footprints of a gigantic dog.

Now the new heir, Sir Henry Baskerville, has arrived from America to claim the family estate. Is he the next victim?

Sherlock Holmes sends his trusted friend, Doctor Watson, to protect Sir Henry and investigate the mystery. On the isolated moor, Watson discovers suspicious neighbours, hidden secrets and terrifying cries in the night.

Is the Baskerville hound a supernatural creature—or is someone using the legend to commit the perfect crime?
