The Terrifying Legend of Michigan's Dogman
What is the Michigan Dogman? For over 130 years, this terrifying half-man, half-beast creature has haunted the forests of Michigan. From the first recorded sighting in 1887 near the Manistee River to eerie encounters in Big Rapids, Ludington, and the depths of Manistee National Forest, the Dogman legend has grown into one of America’s most chilling cryptid mysteries.
In this episode, we explore eyewitness accounts, Native American folklore, the infamous “Gable Film,” and the song that reignited a century-old fear. Is it a real cryptid? A supernatural entity? Or just an elaborate hoax? Featuring stories from hunters, hikers, teens, and even law enforcement, this video covers it all — including the mysterious 10-year cycle, the eerie howls in the night, and the infamous glowing eyes seen deep in Michigan’s woods.
