A Monster With The Head Of A Dog And Body Of A Man Is Said To Roam The Michigan Wilderness And Was First Spotted In The Late 19th Century

Deep in the forests of northern Michigan, a frightening monster with the head of a dog and the body of a man lurks through the darkness, emitting an eerie scream that instills fear into anyone who hears it.
The Michigan Dogman is said to roam the wilderness in northern Michigan and appears every 10 years on the years that end with seven.
The Dogman was first spotted in the late 19th century by a pair of lumberjacks. Sightings of the creature have increased since then.
However, the whole Dogman story doesn’t really add up, which raises the question of its existence. Some believe the Dogman is an ancient ancestor of wolves or a bear walking on its hind legs, while others think that it was just a prank.
There is no solid evidence that the Dogman exists. Still, there are people who insist that the beast is a real paranormal entity.
Legend has it that the Michigan Dogman was known to Native Americans before white settlers ever encountered it. The creature once terrorized local Odawa tribes that lived along the Manistee River.
The first modern run-in with the Dogman occurred in 1887. A group of lumberjacks caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a stray dog. They chased it until it hid in a hollow log.
When one of the men used a stick to poke the dog through the log, it unleashed a piercing scream, crawled out of the log, and stood on two legs. It had the head of a dog and the body of a man. The lumberjacks took off running and never returned to the area again.
A decade later, there was another report of the Dogman in the same area. In 1897, a farmer near the town of Buckley was found dead on his plow. Large dog tracks surrounded his body, which caused some people to believe the Dogman had killed him. Ten years later, a woman spoke of dogs and high-pitched screams outside her window at night.

In 1917, a sheriff came across a wagon without a driver. The horses pulling the cart were dead, their eyes wide open in terror. A veterinarian examined the animals but couldn’t identify a cause for their deaths.
Over the years, witnesses have described the Dogman as a seven-foot-tall creature with blue or amber eyes, a human body, and a bone-chilling scream.
In 1987, Steve Cook, a radio DJ from Traverse City, wrote a song about the Dogman, a beast that was half dog, half man. It aired on the radio on April 1 as a prank. Initially, he thought he had made the whole thing up, but Michiganders started calling in about their experiences with the monster.
Then, in 2007, a strange video went viral. It was called “The Gable Film” and captured footage of a wooded area in winter. Toward the end of the video, a mysterious hairy creature in the woods lunged at the cameraman, baring its sharp teeth.
Many people speculated that it was the Michigan Dogman. But eventually, a man named Mike Agrusa admitted that the Gable Film was just a hoax.
So, does the Dogman exist or not? It’s likely just a myth, but all those eyewitness accounts could be of something else that has not been discovered yet. Who really knows what wanders the wilderness of Michigan?
