- It is said that the raspy halting breath and scraping sound of dragging chains can be heard as it stalks amongst the cells picking out a likely meal.
- Prisoners who are taken by the monster are dismissed as simply having died in their sleep, and being disposed of like any other corpse.

- Some say it is the ghost of condemned pirate captain seeking revenge after his death.
