In this story, many characters are introduced to the legend of the hounds. Each of them has their own opinions to whether the legend is real or a hoax. Sir Charles Baskerville seemed to have taken this legend very seriously, for he seemed very convinced that his family had been cursed with this terrible fate. Sir Charles was very close to the breaking point before his death and was extremely nervous. Dr. James Mortimer believed that there might have been some supernatural events going on, but he did not quite know if they reconciled with nature. Mortimer heard some stories from people claiming that they had seen a similar creature on the moor and Mortimer did not know what to believe. Mr. Sherlock Holmes seems to believe that something weird is going on with the moor and the Baskervilles, but is quite certain that it has nothing to do with supernatural events. Holmes feels that it may be a person who is attempting to throw all of them off this case. Sir Henry Baskerville has known about the legend of the hounds since he was a child and never really took it seriously. Henry is certain that he wants to go Baskerville Hall despite all these warnings and dangers and nothing can stop him from going to his ancestor’s house. I think that there is no hound hunting the Baskerville men. I believe that it is a person who is trying to mess with them and scare them all off. Someone is attempting to stop the Baskerville line of men until there is none left.
