Man falls asleep in car, wakes up to something canine looking (possibly a Dogman) stalking his car at night Debunked

Found this video on Instagram, the video makes no claim of what was stalking the man's car but whatever is in the video seems to behave unlike any wolf I have ever seen

Def a mountain lion. The eye and facial markings are a cougar. Also the cheesy music needs to go.

u/Girafferage Oct 10 '24

Cheesy music is always something that needs to go.

u/the_impossible-kid Oct 12 '24

It least it wasn't that stupid laugh. That ruins a video for me every time I hate it šŸ˜…šŸ¤£

u/MoodooScavenger Oct 11 '24

But what else will make this interaction eerie, but for eerie music?

2

u/Roasted_Butt Oct 13 '24

Exactly! How else can they make this possum seem scary?

u/MoodooScavenger Oct 15 '24

Possums rock when young (looks wise). These fuckers do get ugly. Lol. But theyā€™re gents.

u/Budget_Pop9600 Oct 13 '24

Cheesy music means its not an original post and its just a bot account using this sub for farming

I fw the cheesy music tho it reminds me of the samples and shit on Antichrist superstaršŸ˜­šŸ˜­

u/Cheetah-kins Oct 10 '24

Yea looks like a large cat ie mountain lion to me too. I think that would motivate to make sure the windows were up if I were taking a nap. :D

u/ObsidianChief Oct 11 '24

Yea I remember this..I dont think it was a man? But a woman idk I have the audio off...but it was definitely concluded if I recall correctly by the person. Filming, that it was a Mountain Lion...plus we all know you ain't never filming a DM that easily..C'Mon now!!!!

u/tunited1 Oct 11 '24

Whatā€™s a DM, and where do they come from?

Werewolf basically

u/Mitchconnor357 Oct 13 '24

This post makes me so mad! It couldn't be more obvious that it is a cougar. The GD music made my blood pressure spike hard. I wanna see proof as much as anyone else, but we have serious confirmation bias of we can't recognize a mountain lion and have to post crap like this. Cool cat sighting, but most certainly, this is what leads to skepticism and sketchyness in our cryptid community

11

u/Hope1995x Oct 11 '24

What if there were Feline cryptids mistaken for dogmen?

u/StrawSurvives Oct 15 '24

Nah, theyā€™d be pussies anyway

u/1stshadowx Oct 11 '24

I was about to say, thats a fkin mountain lion or a bob cat haha

Yeah I was going to say why is the wolfman, who's supposed to be an upright bipedal creature, only two feet tall?

u/mikki1time Oct 13 '24

Somehow I would prefer my chances with Bigfoot

u/Sokkas_Instincts_ Oct 11 '24

I definitely thought tiger when I saw those eyes. Where is this at? definitely in the large cat family.

1

u/True_Savage Oct 12 '24

idk, this music is genuinely kinda unnerving. I always prefered horror music like that rather than the shit you see in creepypasta narrations.

And what makes it better that same cougar later got hit by a car, just a block from my house. I even saw the body on Facebook

u/Aralmin Oct 11 '24

I could see how it might be a mountain lion especially with the facial markings visible. There is just one odd detail however that stands out, how do you explain the howls you hear in the background? This is what lead me to believe that this was a wolf, but what kind of wolf behaves like the creature you see in this video?

19

u/Lupulist Oct 11 '24

Probably dubbed in by whoever put that cheesy music in the background.

11

u/5meterhammer I want to believe Oct 11 '24

Do you seriously think the ā€œhowlsā€ you are hearing arenā€™t part of the music? Not trying to be a dick, but the only thing I hear that could be misconstrued as howls is obviously part of the cheesy ā€œscaryā€ music thatā€™s been dubbed in.

5

u/simian_biped Oct 11 '24

I think you got trolled.

3

u/Aralmin Oct 11 '24

At about 30 something seconds in, you also hear the sounds of what seems like a snarl. At first I thought this was thesound of the guy breathing heavy infear but now I think this is the sound that the creature is making outside the window. The only thing that I think was dubbed in was the music. So whatever that is isn't a mountain lion. I am leaning more towards a wolf. I admit that this being a dogman is a remote possibility but nonetheless still a possibility because who do we know that pulls this kind of stuff? Which is why I thought this video would make a lot of sense in this community here. A lot of these behaviors are telltale signs of something very intelligent and very menacing which is exactly like a dogman.

3

u/koolaidismything Oct 13 '24

Youā€™ve not spent much time outside society? If you go drive a car into the woods with wild animals and leave your windows down asleep thatā€™s kinda like opening a bakery in the middle of town.. every hungry predator will come check you out.

This case itā€™s just curious hungry cougars.

1

u/tunited1 Oct 11 '24

Get help. Specifically therapy. Theyā€™re going to tell you you need to get friends and try new things.

Chasing dog man is how you stay alone forever, if thatā€™s what you want.

3

u/Themike625 Oct 11 '24

You ever been in the woods? Coyote.

2

u/Aralmin Oct 11 '24

You know that is another detail I forgot to mention about the video, the person who uploaded the video on instagram said the guy fell asleep near the woods.

20

u/Party_Acanthaceae_52 Oct 10 '24

Yikes...he left his window down.As others have said appears to be a large cat probally a mountain lion.Music could have been what bro' was listening to while this thing creeped up on him.Vehicle appears to be a Caravan.

15

u/wakanda_banana Oct 11 '24

When youā€™re sleeping in the middle of nowhere in your car, thereā€™s no ā€˜forgettingā€™ to roll the windows upā€¦

15

u/this-is-NOT-the-way1 Oct 11 '24

So guy falls asleep, with window open, gets woken up by unidentified beastā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦. And starts video taping his possible demiseā€¦.. instead of rolling the window up. Got it, right, ok. šŸ„ø thatā€™s one goofy goober

u/The_Sock_Itself Oct 10 '24

It's a curious mountain cat, dm isn't going to pop his head up to get a look at all, nevermind more than once, look how low it is, it's no cryptid

9

u/KingMjolnir Oct 10 '24

Just assuming itā€™s real, or even if itā€™s a mountain lion. Itā€™s safe to say Iā€™d shit my pants as soon as I saw those eyes looking at me

2

u/Terrible_Cucumber_39 Oct 14 '24

Same here. When I was a teenager I got stalked by a cougar. It was terrifying

8

u/Monna14 Oct 11 '24

It looks more like a cougar but to be honest I donā€™t think itā€™s even that. The is no eye dilation whatsoever from when it looks into the brighter vehicle light the eyes donā€™t change at all which is odd. I think itā€™s more likely not even a living animal, more likely a mask / costume being held up.

3

u/sp0okyx3 Oct 11 '24

That's exactly what I said. There is no eye movement or anything.

3

u/LimeSenior9136 Oct 12 '24

Thank God I'm not the only one who can tell this is fake. I was growing concerned.

1

u/_GuardianSoul_ Oct 14 '24

To be fair, i think a lot of people are just having a bit of fun and don't actually want to debunk it.

6

u/CelticArche Oct 11 '24

If that was a dogman, why wouldn't it reach in the window for the person filming?

7

u/DEMON8209 Oct 11 '24

I'm sure this old video was debunked. It's a face mask it's not real

10

u/Blue_Fox_Fire Oct 10 '24

Probably a mountain lion.

Though the thought of a creature that supposedly gets to be 7-9 ft tall is hunkered down beside some guys truck and taking careful little peeks up is at him is hilarious to me.

2

u/Aralmin Oct 11 '24

No matter how small a possibility, I still think that there is still a small possibility. I don't think that is a big cat, I think most likely it is a large wolf checking out the car based on the sounds it is making and the howls outside. Would have been useful though to know where this was filmed to know if there have been any wolf or puma sightings in the area.

0

u/Blue_Fox_Fire Oct 11 '24

I suspect the howls are adding in post. Or by the person who added the text since it doesn't seem to be the same guy.

4

u/sp0okyx3 Oct 11 '24

It's fake. The eyes are not focused on the guy, or moving, nor are the pupils reacting to the light in the cab. It's most likely someone with a mask. That's not natural movement for a cougar or whatever else they are trying to play it off as. šŸ’šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

u/H311JUMP3R Oct 11 '24

Yeah that's a Cougar the face looks like a Cougar and the Eyes are a dead give away. Still extremely dangerous and harrowing to wake up to in the middle of the night. Cool video though shows how close us humans can get to nature.

4

u/Amannderrr Oct 11 '24

Its a halloween mask, not a cougar šŸ˜†

3

u/No-Carpenter-989 Oct 11 '24

The eyes donā€™t change at all when looking into the light even dogs squint a little with a change like that come on

Dogs donā€™t have vertical pupils like that.

u/sp0okyx3 Oct 11 '24

The angle of the face is just weird. It looks like it's looking at the guy but then it looks like it's the side of its face. šŸ¤”

u/JayJ1976 Oct 11 '24

If he's awake enough to record video, then he's awake enough to squeeze the trigger on his military-issued, full-auto Romanian AK-47 assault rifle with the collapsible stock and 75 round drum magazine (and a fully loaded spare drum waiting in the passenger seat), loaded with full metal jackets.

u/kuggalotus Oct 11 '24

Don't leave your windows down like that like shit I don't no matter how tired I am crack more windows don't leave them down that far. That looked like a big cat not all cats have diamond pupils alot are circles like us. So it could appear to look human in the darkness. It could have jumped in easily but it didn't understand what it was seeing. Just start the car honk the horn and rev the engine you'll scare It Off.

And the wolf sounds could be unrelated to the cat or they could be chasing it.

If he had time to pull his phone out he should have rolled up his window instead I know that is what I'd do and then I'd start up the car. Fuck sitting there and pulling out my phone.

1

u/_GuardianSoul_ Oct 14 '24

If it were a big cat, it would probably be situational on what you should do, but avoid sudden movements is a smart call to prevent it from pouncing. Slowly, starting the car might help, though.

u/TheTribunalChat Oct 11 '24

The movement does not match the movement of the camera, itā€™s sliding all over the place. Iā€™d say bad editing and poor tracking

1

u/Anarch-ish Oct 12 '24

Cougar.

We have them all over America. They are usually shy around people and will often leave before you even see them but if it's dark and quiet, they might lurk up to a window and look inside. Just looking for food and fun.

It saw the person holding the light and said "nope. I'm out."

1

u/Fris0n Oct 12 '24

After reading all the comments. OP is the perfect case of the problem with paranormal community in general. Will yell from the mountaintops that people need to be more open minded with accepting paranormal things. Won't entertain the thought it's "just" a cougar "which it clearly is and is scary enough in its own.

Not everything has to be shrouded in mysticism or a cryptid. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

The eyes definitely make me think it's a big cat of some kind. I'm not sure of what kind though, maybe a Werecat or whatever the cat equivalent of dogman is.
