The legendary Michigan Dogman has had recorded sightings since 1887, but stories of this half man/half canine creature go much further back. It is said that he has been seen along the shores of Manistee River long ago, when the area was occupied by the Odwaa tribe.
The Michigan Dogman is said to be a bipedal creature, with a man's body, but the face and fangs of a bloodthirsty dog. According to lore, he can jump to incredible heights, and often leaps great distances to attack. His fur is black in color, which gives him the ability to blend in with the night. The Michigan Dogman's scream is said to be a horrendous thing. Legends of his terrible howl say that it is similar to an infant's scream, high-pitched and alarming.
There are hundreds of sightings of the Michigan Dogman. Most all of these report that the Dogman is at least six feet tall, with petrifying, gleaming eyes.
The strangest thing about the Michigan Dogman is that he only appears every ten years. Sightings of this beast have only been reported on years that end in seven. Those who liken the creature to the infamous Beast of Bray Road, can rule out the possibility of them being the same creature, as there is no method for sightings when it comes to the Beast of Bray Road.
In 1937, a man in Paris, Michigan reported being attacked by five dogs, the fifth of who walked on the legs of a man. This lends to the idea that the evil creature can lead our beloved canine pets into evil, with an alpha like control.
