Humanoid Creature

This creature is said to have a man’s body with the head of a dog. It is about 7' tall.

It’s howl is said to sound like a human scream which draws people out to see who is in need of help, only to find this creature.

The first sighting of the Dog Man was in Wexford County in 1887, when a couple of lumberjacks reported seeing a doglike man.

Since then there has been reports along the Muskegon River and in Allegan and Manistee counties.

Facts & Trivia

  • There was a song recorded and played on a radio station in Traverse, Michigan, on April 1st in 1987 about the Dog Man legend. Though it was just meant to be a funny prank, many calls to the station followed from people who have had Dog Man sightings.

Question to Ponder

  • The Michigan Dog Man sounds very similar to Wisconsin’s Beast of Bray Road. Could these two creatures be related somehow or even be the same creature?
