Gory Story - Michigan Dogman

What makes the urban legend of the Michigan Dogman so compelling is its plausibility. There have been far more sightings than Bigfoot, who is practically the poster creature for cryptozoology. While there’s talk of supernatural origin, there are also more scientific animal-based theories for this creature’s existence as well. Dogman sightings began in Michigan and then spread with descriptions varying slightly, but the core characteristics remained intact. This can be expected with any growing, migrating, and evolving species.

Dogman sightings usually occur deep in the forest, around logging camps, and out on isolated roads late at night. The mythical beast of backwoods folklore went mainstream in 1987 after the release of the song "The Legend," written by Traverse City radio DJ Steve Cook. Cook pulled lyrics from Dogman encounters and soon more people reported their sightings. But what are these witnesses actually seeing? Is it mass hysteria or a real creature? Let's explore the history of this cryptid and the various horrifying encounters people have had with it.
