UM-Bot Posted September 17, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Sightings of mysterious bipedal canines have been hitting the headlines in Michigan for over 100 years. One of the more unusual cryptozoological mysteries, the Dogman is said to be a strange bipedal hominid with the head of a dog and the body of a man. First reported as far back as 1887, sightings of creatures resembling the description of the Dogman have been pouring out of Michigan and other neighboring states ever since.

grc Posted September 17, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) The story is cool but like any other creatures out there we can't verify its existence, it's just that: cool story. IMO Edit: my keyboard hates me Edited September 17, 2013 by grc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeraldgemheart Posted September 17, 2013 #3 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Well, there could be one, we don't know for sure. On the other hand, the people who claimed they say them were lying. We don't really know. But still, cool topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ineffectiveArtist Posted September 17, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'd like to think it's a science experiment gone wrong. Like, from The Island of Dr. Moreau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technocrat Posted September 17, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I have come to believe that creatures such as these are demons. Another example would be the Mothman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
order and chaos Posted September 17, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Anyone else thinking Anubis. That was the first thing that came to mind. Now excuse me while i go find a statue of Ra and start bowing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdesert50 Posted September 17, 2013 #7 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Probably a bear based on the narrative. But, just in case, might I suggest placing a large fire hydrant with digital camera in the vicinity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtherialNight Posted September 17, 2013 #8 Share Posted September 17, 2013 @ highdesert50 that's an idea, some bears can look very doggy, and if it was a skinny young bear the kid may have mistaken it for something else entirely. And ha yes Anubis springs to mind, he would be very tall and muscular I would think.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRYSiiSx2 Posted September 18, 2013 #9 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I've lived my entire life here in Michigan. Can't say I've ever seen this Dogman... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnie Darko Posted September 18, 2013 #10 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) I have come to believe that creatures such as these are demons. Another example would be the Mothman. I believe it's a possibility, but then a lot of other questions come to mind. If it's a demon what exactly does it do out in the wild as opposed to simply hunting for food? Aren't they suppposed to do the devils bidding? Well...there are humans out there living in the woods and under bridges. I bet there are all kinds of odd humans out there, I guess there are all kinds of demonic entities out there too. Edit: Because I can't see the smiley faces on UM mobile so I tried guessing them and it didn't work out. :\ Edited September 18, 2013 by Ever After Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lava_Lady Posted September 18, 2013 #11 Share Posted September 18, 2013 The story is cool but like any other creatures out there we can't verify its existence, it's just that: cool story. IMO Edit: my keyboard hates me Yeah, I love stories like this. Someone needs to make another NON-twilight type of werewolf/vampire movie. Once again, emphasizing NON-twilight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Wearer of Hats Posted September 18, 2013 #12 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I think this should be in the Two-Legged Dogman database. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overdueleaf Posted September 26, 2013 #14 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Monster Quest did a show on this and many of the witnesses took polygraphs, it's a good show. passing a polygraph doesnt equate to the existance of dogmen though.... it just shows that these people believed what they saw was the dogman .. and we all know how reliable eyewitness testimony is especially underhigh stress circumstances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insanity Posted September 26, 2013 #15 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Monster Quest did a show on this and many of the witnesses took polygraphs, it's a good show. Unfortunately the polygraph is not a reliable method to determine the validity of someone's statement. If the person being tested has no training in countermeasures, it can discriminate truth from lies somewhat above chance, but still below perfection. Polygraph countermeasures can be as simple as getting a decent night's of rest, going to the testing calm and being confident. In several countries outside the U.S. it is inadmissible as evidence in court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafterman Posted September 28, 2013 #17 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I have come to believe that creatures such as these are demons. Another example would be the Mothman. I tend to think that it is just a misidentified Bigfoot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does follow a similar and very familiar pattern, doesn't it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
