The legend of Michigans Dog man....

[TopFist]

A cool summer mornin' in early June is when the legend began,....At a nameless logging camp in Wexford County where the Manistee River ran. ....Eleven lumberjacks near the Garland Swamp found an animal they thought was a dog. ....In a playful mood they chased it around ...'til it ran inside a hollow log..... A logger named Johnson grabbed him a stick and poked around inside... Then the thing let out an unearthly scream and came out ...and stood upright. ...None of those men ever said very much about whatever happened then. ....They just packed up their belongings and left that night and were never heard from again.

It was ten years later in '98 when a farmer near Buckley was found... Slumped over his plow, his heart had stopped. There were dog tracks all around. ...Eight years past the turn of the century they say a crazy old widow had a dream ....of dogs that circled her house at night. They walked like men and screamed.... In 1918 a sheriff who was out a walkin' ...Found a driverless wagon and tracks in the dust like wolves had been a stalkin'.... Near the roadside a four-horse team lay dead with their eyes open wide.... When the vet finished up his examination he said it looked like they died of fright... In '38 a schooner captain said several crew members had reported... a pack of wild dogs roaming Bowers Harbor. His story was never recorded....

In '58 a man of the cloth found claw marks on an old church door... The newspaper said they were made by a dog. He'd a had to stood seven foot four.... In '68 a van load of hippies told a park ranger named Quinlan... they'd been awakened in the night by a scratch at the winda... there was a dog-man looking' in and grinnin.' In '78 there were screams in the night near the village of Bellaire... Could have been a bobcat, could have been the wind. Nobody looked up there...Then in the summer of 88, near Luther it happened again.... At a cabin in the woods it looked like maybe someone had tried to break in...There were cuts in the door that could only have been made by very sharp teeth and claws...He didn't wear shoes cause he didn't have feet; he walked on just two paws... So far this fall no stories have appeared. Have the dogmen gone away? Have they disappeared?... Soon enough I guess we'll know...  the 8th year is here. And somewhere in the northwoods darkness a creature walks upright And the best advice you may ever get... Is don't go out at night...

Been huntin that area for almost 20 years.. never wanted to say anything for fear of the ridicule.. but I've been chased up a tree by
one o them dogmen..  
It was a typical day in the woods, overcast and cold.. settin in my blind I was.. when I heard this awful scream from behind me,, I slowly
turned to see this critter comin at me full steam ya see.. with the meanest look in his eyes he lept over a downed log with a stride like a
thuroubred horse.. behind him a pack of 10... no.. 20 dogs runnin full steam.. ears laid back and a furrowed brow....

I was just a youngster back in the 80's and my Dad had property in Lake City, MI.  Afer I herd the Dog-man song play on  the local raido I was so scared to go out at night that if I had to piss I would open the door of our camper and piss right out the door. I would not go out in the dark woods with out my Dad and always made him bring one of his guns.  I got so scared of the Dogman that when Christmas came around my dad would give me a couple gifts from Dogman to try and make me feel better about the whole thing.  WOW, its been atleast 15 or more years since the Dogman song even crossed my mind, brings back some haunting memories.

I've got the CD also. I thought it woud be fun to change it to the eight year. 2008. I'm betting from the same radio station. I don't recall what it was now, But i do remember giving a $5 donation to get it.
