The Hundeprest is the walking dead priest of Melrose, recorded by William of Newburgh. Buried in the monastery, he rose at night and terrified his former mistress until a party of four undertook to watch the grave. One of them drove an axe into the corpse when it charged him, and at dawn the wounded, bleeding body was exhumed, burned and its ashes scattered. The story is unusual for showing a revenant physically injured in a fight.1 2

Ano ang sanhi

Masamang kamatayan o libing

A worldly priest who neglected his calling in life cannot rest in the monastery where he was buried.

Paano ka magiging isa

A chaplain so devoted to hunting that he was nicknamed 'Hundeprest', the dog-priest.

Paano ito gumagalaw

Nag-iiba

Rises at night; the sanctity of the monks keeps him from doing harm inside the abbey, so he roams outside and groans around a noblewoman's bedchamber.
