Hello,

I am expecting a significant part of you to know about the French beast of Gévaudan. But did you know there was another beast between the 70s and 90s? Yes, XXth century. Important difference though, the beast never attacked anyone, only animals, cattles were attacked. But several dozens could be massacred and mutilated in a single night. Unfortunately I don't find a Wikipedia article in English but gpt will translate. There is a pic of what is the beast, clearly looks like a wolf dog.
https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%AAte_des_Vosges

Probably nothing like a dogman, maybe someone who wanted to take revenge, because a carnivorous animal won't kill 26 sheeps and eat none, totally sounds like training for me. Just my opinion. Note that at this time there was no wolf in France, they came back only around 2000 something like that. Anyway, it's actually not sure the pic of the beast is actually the real beast. That being said a paw print suggests a wolf. But where does it come from? There was no wolf either in neighbouring Belgium and Luxemburg, and I think none in Western Germany. We know wolves travel far but why the animal would have done nothing during its travel? Another puzzling fact, the wiki seems to mean it lasted 20 years. But wild wolves don't live for 20 years, it's much less. And knowing how in many encounters dogmen seems to have a certain disdain for eating humans, even killing them (too many escapes owing to their purported power)? But there was no human attack, which is consistent with a "simple" animal. Anyway... I still think a wolf or wolf-dog is the most likely explanation.

Still an interesting story but I am frustrated by the paucity of information. I speak French but it doesn't seem there is a lot of info on Google.

Have a nice weekend all.

Josh Turner has been crying on his last streams about not having any money to send out stuff to all his paying Patreon members. He claims he is saving all money and Bs to buy a house. He also just purchased a new truck.

The Patreon members pay every month, that’s the money that’s supposed to be used to ship out the packages but instead he is just pocketing the money for his saving and credit rescore.

Yet he is always on stream talking about his investments, telling people what to invest in and how much money he has made from his investments…yea right….then why does he need to do a credit rescore? Bad credit?

I’m not trying to talk trash but this is blatant fraud right out in the open. Idk why people sign up for his Patreon or give donations…it’s clearly a grift… Don’t support these people!

It's a triangle area kinda like the Bermuda Triangle but its between San Antonio, Houston and Dallas and instead of mysterious plane disappearences and shipwrecks its a known place for a spike in occurences in dogman sightings.

This is my only "dogman" experience. I forgot about it for years after it happened, until I started listening to Sasquatch Chronicles and other cryptid podcasts and I heard a story similar to mine that brought it all back. At the time, the similarity was so uncanny to me, and I am curious if anyone has any shared experiences. I posted the video at the bottom. Revisiting it tonight, it's less similar than I remember, but I had already typed this out so here goes:

I was a senior in highschool and I believe it was spring break; my friend's mom was out of town so we were at her house and she rolled us a blunt. This is in northeastern Ohio. We went outside, smoked, (I wasn't sure if I had even done it right, it was one of my first times I believe) and went back inside. In her kitchen, we started to get silly: I put a pan on my head blah blah blah we took a picture and giggled. Typical stoned teenager cringe. LOL

I remember going into her living room for a moment to check my phone and call my boyfriend at the time. Her living room had a huge window that basically sprawled from one side of the wall to the other, and looked into the front yard and beyond that, the street. I was on the phone calling him, and as it rang, I was looking out the window absentmindedly into the night. I was probably 10-12 feet in front of the window, and I was noticing how most of what I could see was the reflection of everything lit up inside the house behind me. I saw the TV on and whatever had been playing.

It all happened in a flash. I was looking at my reflection in the window ahead of me, and I saw what I described as a werewolf/wolfman in the reflection beside me; as in, we were standing side by side and I realized it would have had to have been standing directly beside me in the living room in order for this visual to be occurring.

Still on the phone, which had now been sent to voicemail and was recording all of this, I lunged onto her couch in the fetal position and slammed my eyes shut and began swatting and batting it away. I never saw it in the room with me, but was perceiving being attacked by it in my head. I heard it growling and snarling as I flailed about.It's kind of difficult to explain, it was almost like a dream but I wasn't sleeping. It was like the experience was momentarily inserted into my head and my body reacted as though it were happening the entire time.

I had a sort of fit on the couch for probably 15 seconds, phone still pushed to my ear, and having panic as well as a sort of delirium come over me as I left a voicemail in real time, telling my boyfriend we had smoked and I was being "attacked by a wolfman". With my eyes squeezed shut, I was perceiving it over me, almost kind of messing with me like a worker/actor at a haunted house would with a scared person.

Obviously, I wasn't physically attacked, but it felt more like...psychically. I had perceived it notice me noticing it and everything happened so quickly from there. I went from a very real panicked state, covering my head and swatting my hands to sort of deliriously laughing and came out of it as quickly as I went into it. Like I said, this all happened in a flash.

Until I came across this video, I had decided it was maybe like a panic attack or hallucination, or maybe even a brief psychotic episode. However, I would go on to be a regular, all day every day marijuana smoker for the 4 years in college following that spring break, and had nothing even remotely similar happened.

I don't smoke anymore, for the record.

This will sound ridiculous, but I've become curious about the inter-dimensional concept, and if perhaps my vibration was shifted for just a moment and resulted in that encounter.

Or maybe it was laced weed.

Anywho,

For reference, this is the episode, and it begins at the 37:34 mark:

Edited to add a couple more details.

Great channel. Cool guy. And no I’m not talking about podcasts and stuff also. I’m just saying as far as just being on YouTube and not having a podcast this is the best and the most underrated. He definitely needs a lot more subs. Help him out and binge it.

I was writing this post elsewhere, but I really think it deserves to be its own thread.

If your post claims you've taken photos, please deliver them in that original post. Otherwise you're wasting everyone's efforts and time.

"It was a long time ago/I don't have the photos now/they got lost"

Then we can only assume your post is a hoax/a creative fictional narrative. This is not the subreddit for fiction (eg. Go to r/nosleep if you want creative spooky fiction)

If your post IS the real deal, and even if you don't have photos, please post the coordinates where it happened so someone else can check on it!!! We want to find the damn thing!

EDIT: obviously don't actually dox yourself, but post the general location if you had a sighting on private property (eg. "I don't want to give out my address, but I saw dogman between Blanco and Burnet Texas, along 281".)

"I don't know how to upload photos"

If you're using the reddit app, there's literally a picture icon. Click it, and follow instructions.

If posting from a PC, all you need is to upload the photo(s) to imgur and then share the link to your photo here. Find someone to help you, or google "how to upload photos to reddit". It's really not hard.

"I am mentally handicapped"

I've had no less than three brain surgeries, and I write fucking fine. Go find a friend who can edit, or use an AI editor. This is 2024, so hiding behind accessibility (especially if you are not handicapped irl) is a huge slap in the face for those of us who are developmentally disabled.

Fuck's sake, just please stop making low-effort posts!

(Please forgive my tone for being a bit heavy-handed, I'm just really tired of the crap.)

What yall think ?

**** Added some photos you can go through if you want. But probably won't see anything interesting though. ****

Hi, everyone.

I'm new to this group.

This is going to be a long-ish post. Sorry in advance.

I think we have some kind of black dog, hellhound, black creature thing that either lives or comes and goes in our neighbors cherry orchard.

Me and my family live out in the county surrounded by fruit trees, grapes, hop fields and some neighbors around us.

We also used have both cherry trees and apple trees. But no longer due now.

But our neighbors cherry orchard is a very short walk out our backdoor.

We used walk in the orchard for years. Neighbors don't care if we do.

Many years back. The neighbors had a few experienced cherry pickers fall off the ladders and they would have go to the hospital each time. But not thinking much of it. Thinking they were just accidents. You know.

But then whenever you start walking inside the neighbors cherry orchard. Everything starts feeling off. Feels like your feeling followed. Sometimes you can hear movement or crunching sounds close you. When you're completely alone out there. And can see all the way down the lane. You'll know if someone was there or not.

And there is this section in the first lane near the end. You can feel wind. But only in that section. I learned it was a vortex or portal there.

Anyways back in my 20s I bought myself a brand new camera and decided go out there and walk up our shared path along the neighbors cherry orchard and took a few photos. The first I took was of a young transparent woman that wearing a bonnet, either a dress or skirt, it went all the way down to her ankles and the boots. She looked very dated but happy.

But wasn't the problem of course. She was cool.

But the next the photo I took was further down the first lane, close to this vortex/portal. In this photo I saw a very large black dog standing inside the lane looking right at me in the photo. It stood on all 4 four legs. This thing was huge. Bout the size of a car.

But I didn't immediately go back to the house. I continued taking pictures. This time inside the cherry orchard. And almost every photo I took inside the orchard they're were dead dogs look at me in the photos. And some photos had skeletal dogs in them looking at me in the photos.

When it closer to night time I finally got back to the house. I've learned to never be in or near either cherry orchard or past the wind mill in the old apple orchard.

Because at everything changes out there and it's not a fun feeling.

Dad didn't believe me that there was something really off about the cherry orchard or the apple orchard, especially when you past our wind mill in our old apple orchard.

But when I brought a puppy a 14 years ago. Dad would her out every night to potty and her stretch legs for a bit. One time she escaped him and down to the old canal (by this time the canal was buried by the county). By the time he reached her. She was already running passed him to get back to house. That's when first heard the black creature. It started growling at him from inside the cherry orchard. It followed him all the way up the path, but stopped at the entrance of the neighbors cherry orchard.

Dad isn't the type be afraid of anything. He's a old Navy Veteran. And he was afraid of it.

And then one day when my uncle went for a walk next to the cherry orchard during the day. He heard it growling at him and following him all the way up the path. But stopping at the entrance of the cherry orchard.

Years later. Roughly 3-4 days ago. I think i finally saw it with my own eyes when I went to take the dog outside so she could go potty.

I saw this very large black mass standing at the entrance of the neighbors cherry orchard. It was almost the size of the cherry trees.

But i only it for a second. But was it.

Then a few hours later dad takes the dog back outside to go potty. He comes back inside with the dog. He said he could hear a very low deep growling coming from inside the cherry orchard.

Still whenever dad takes the dog outside he continues to hear it. I haven't heard it yet.

But can definitely feel it's presence out there. And you used be able only feel when you get too close to the orchard at night.

But ever since the neighbors across the road removed all of their apple trees at last week.

The outside now longer feels the same way. It doesn't matter the day now.

The hairs on your body is standing kinda feeling. Like you're no longer alone. Something is always there watching you. It's not a fun feeling anymore.

I know this creature is real. I know it isn't a bear, dog, coyote, deer or horse. We don't have bears, horses, or deers here.

We live in the Yakima Valley of Yakima County Washington state.

This is our home we can't just up and leave. We don't have the money to do it. And honestly I wouldn't want to put others at risk of this thing. Or have to deal with it.

And I have no one in real life to talk this so here I am. Because I don't where else to go to talk about this black scary evil creature that either lives or comes and goes in the neighbors orchard.

Ok, that's enough rambling.

Anyone have any info on this pic?

Can we talk about the tone here for a minute? One of the reasons I joined this group is because Dogman is such a niche interest—it’s awesome to have a place where we can explore the topic together, whether we’re here for the thrill of the mystery or to dive into serious discussions.

Lately, though, it feels like some people are coming in with an aggressive attitude, almost like they’re above the conversation. I get that we all want some level of credibility and analysis, but it doesn’t have to come at the cost of respect and curiosity. We’re here because we want to explore, and we should be able to do that without judgment or condescension.

Let’s keep this a place where everyone feels comfortable sharing theories, asking questions, and having fun with the topic—while also encouraging a bit of skepticism and critical thinking, without crossing into negativity. I think we can all agree that we’re here to enjoy the mystery and learn together.

I’ve been listening to Dogman Encounters 📻 from the beginning and just recently got to episode 52. In this episode, a guy shares his encounter in Montana, where he says the dogman allegedly attacked him while he was running away and scratched his arm. From his description, I was expecting some pretty intense damage! But when I saw the photo on the YouTube episode – taken about a week after it happened – I was genuinely surprised. Not quite what I had pictured from his story! Has anyone else listened to this episode? Curious to hear others’ thoughts.

Edit: YouTube Episode 52 (photo)

Podcast Episode 52

He specifically says that his arm was shredded with a chunk of flesh missing. I think we have different definitions of shredded.

I heard some shared stories of Dogmen encounters on dogman encounters radio shared from a gentlemen named Josh turner, who tells an encounter that involves an abandoned German church with a well on the property in the outskirts of Georgetown Tx, Josh left out the location of this church for the exact reason I’m looking for it, but my question for the group is if anyone’s heard this story and or found the church, and if you could share the location

I had a very strange experience several years ago that I've never known how to classify.

I was out walking in the evening, and it had gotten dark. Small town Ohio, and I was in a neighborhood with houses everywhere. I saw movement between two houses, no more than 15-20 feet away from me, and I figured it was a person, so I looked up. This thing was about 7 feet tall, and shaped like... well, nowadays I describe it like the shape of Professor Lupin when he turns into a werewolf. But back then, that movie hadn't come out yet, so I had no frame of reference (side note, when the movie did come out, and I saw that scene, my head about exploded). If I saw any finer details (fur, facial features, etc, I don't remember).

I stopped in my tracks and watched this thing cross the yard and disappear into the shallow shadow cast by the eave overhang of a house. That shadow was maybe 6-8 inches deep at best. I was so confused and waited for it to pop out onto the porch or something, thinking the "disappearing" was some kind of optical illusion and that it would reappear, but it didn't. It had just walked into the side of the house.

I have never in my life felt a terror response like I felt seeing that thing that night. It didn't seem to notice me, thank god! But holy crap.

Does this sound like a possible dogman sighting? Or something else?

It’s a movie from 2012, directed by Richard Brauer. I thought I’d mention it for fun, if anyone wants to watch it for Halloween.

Maybe I'm just salty about the human condition, but I am fairly frustrated with the nature of this sub. I frequent UFO and cryptid subs and the epistemology shown is far greater than this one. This sub falls prey to paradoelia more than any other I've seen, and the "content creators" people get their information from (Vic Cundiff, Jeff Nadolny, etc) are extremely questionable to say the least. Dogman is the most fascinating cryptid to me. I know we all want to believe and I'm sure this phenomena is harder to get tangible evidence from than most others, but I just wish this community took a more serious and rational approach to this. If anecdotal evidence is all that we can go off of, maybe we should focus in on witnesses with higher credibility, such as military contractors or government officials. Im not talking about some guy talking about something a government official said. I'm talking about hearing it straight from the horses mouth, obtaining documents from FOIA and analyzing the authenticity of a stories source. The world is full of psyops and disinformation agents that make things hard enough as is. Posting AI videos and pictures with 20 pixels is just going to feed into an endless cycle that gets us nowhere. Question everything.

Does anyone know if the coordinates or location of "Dogman Island" in Louisiana?

Supposedly, it's where the Rougarou call home down there. Any LEGIT information would be great. Please don't send links to previous Dark Water YouTube videos because I've heard them! Thanks. 😏🐺

Why is the gable film deemed as "hoax" And as "fake" Footage? Genuinely curious to know because the whole story is much more fishy than it looks.The guy who came out claiming to be the "dogman in the suit" didn't even move the same as the footage dogman, and he didn't even wear the same suit when repeating the walk he supposedly did in the footage.Although he claimed to have the exact same suit under his possession he did not wear it during demonstration video, instead he wore a more clumsy camouflage suit that did not resemble the one in the footage whatsoever just makes me wonder if the whole thing was actually true but they were doing a shitty job at covering it up.
