About 5 years ago I was living with my version of Ghostman's Satan outside Carson City, MI. Her 13 yr old daughter was outside late one night feeding the dogs (who were nowhere around at the time) her story was as she walked around the corner of the barn she imeadiately heard a very deep, loud growling. About 30-40 yards away in the dim moonlight she could barely see a very tall, black silouette. Her first thought was that it was a black bear. Being a camping girl she responded with yelling at it toscare it off. It didnt budge. When it crouched down to what looked like a lunging postion she realized it wasnt a bear, she ran like hell for the house. We called the sherriff, the deputy showed up & found some dog tracks, no bear tracks.
The tracks followed her back around the corner of the barn and up the edge of the porch light's reach then abruptly turned about 90 degrees then led out to the alfalfa field next to our house.

I've been a truck driver for most of adult life. I've had the pleasure of seeing alot of the greatest country in the world. I've also seen lots of animals from different angles, at high speeds & standing still. But what she descibed to me was definately not a bear, nor man, nor dog. Bears just dont crouch from a standing position on their hind feet. They are either up on 2 or down on all 4.
I've seen dark shadows cross in the headlites in front of my truck in the wee hours of the morning, there are lots of deer in Michigan. You can tell when something is on 4 legs or 2 just by the shape of the shiloutte. One time on my way to East Jordan on M-66 north of Macelona one of those shadows crossed in front of me in the distance I could tell right away it was a deer, moving fast. I immeadiately slowed because where ther is one there is bound to be more. But the shape that crossed behind the deer was not on all 4 & alot faster. Because of the glare of the oncoming headlites of the other truck I couldnt make out what it was. But it was bigger & faster than the deer. I asked the other truck on the cb if he had seen it. His reply was that he has been running up there for years, seen lots of things like it & will never talk about it to anybody. So I guess that was his way of saying yes. I have a freind of mine who is Indian & he wont talk about the dogman much with me, but he did say that the Dogmen or shape shifters
was like a "special forces" unit of the tribe. I find that very interesting. He goes to tribal meetings up north alot & has invited me to go sometime so I can "expeirence" some things. Hmmm...Tempting indeed.

I want to go out with a real cryptozoologiest sometime and go on a real bigfoot or dogman hunt. Did you listen to our show with Steve Cook who hosts the Dogman page and wrote the Michigan Dogman song.

Yeah I heard it. That was the second show I had listened to. I am now caught up for '08.
That show was awesome. I love talking and hearing shows like that. It's much more interesting to me to discuss the possiblities of crypto than ET.
Seems like everybody talks about ETs. I think it's better to discover whats in our backyards than to talk about something that isnt.
OMG to go out on an expedition would be just awesome as hell.
What was the guy that called in from the Carolina's? He's got a great radio personality. Great interview.
As for getting more people on the forums...just keep plugin away. I havent ever ran a forum for my show. Just been in a couple Very Happy

Did this only happen once? Or did you not go out to check again. Shadow animals and dog-men are a weird one. While i've never experienced this my family actually has.

Here is a quick version of my tale.

The Scene: about 7 years ago, I was at my girlfriends home and having a large bonfire, many folks were there including my brother and his girlfriend. The evening was wrapping up and they headed home.

I was having a fun time when my cell phone rang about an hour or so later. My brother in one of those serious voices that should have told me that he would become a cop later in life said "Are you planning on coming home? answer yes or no!".

My answer was... not sure.. why? (you know me.. always solid answering man).

His response, if you aren't planning on coming home then i suggest you don't even try, if you are coming home then let me know and I'll stay out here and stand watch.

This sort of got my attention, but my brother sounded genuinely scared/upset about something. I asked him, and he didn't really know what to say. "There is something outside the house here and not sure what the hell it is. So, you probably should stay at her house if you can. I'll tell you about it tomorrow. My suggestion, come home when the sun is up." The last sentence was a bit more light hearted and we both had a bit of a laugh.

Next day I come home to my parents house and hear the tale. (this is what he said, might not be exact quotes but you get the idea).

My brother was standing outside having a cigarette, (since my mother doesn't let him smoke in the house). My parents home is about 45 minutes south of the biggest city around and there isn't a street light around there. So, when it's night out, it can be rather dark. Combine that we are off of the road, and hardly any neighbors on a few hundred acre plot of land, it's also oddly lonely out there. He was standing on the walk going up to the house, looking up at the stars when he heard a low sort of noise. Something that would be from an animal. He said it was like a growl and snort/grunt. He looked down and around the side of the house (where the flood light was unable to shine) he saw something rather large there. At first he thought it was the dog house and dismissed it. But, then it realized that the doghouse was a good 30 feet away from where he was looking. He kept his eyes on whatever it was and sort of asked who was there. My brother said that it was big, like the size of a small bear perhaps... and just a random roundish shape. But, he could see it slightly moving thanks to enough moonlight to offer a shape. At this point i would like to point out that we have a lot of weird friends, and a few of them go hunting at night for coyotes and other predators. (family has farm animals). And it's not unlike one of them to sneak around just to mess with us if they were out and about. This is what my brother thought, and he called out again to ask if someone was there. A low gutteral sound came back. Now... my brother is about 6'1 325 pound ox of a man, and is usually armed. But, he starts walking towards the shadow to get a better look. (he is saying "Vinny, it this is you, you are going to get a hollow point in your ass.. quit it")

He keeps walking and realize that the thing he is looking at is pretty damn dome shape and sort of drifting a bit back and forth. It's standing just a few feet away from the edge of the light and not getting any closer, nor is it moving away as my brother approaches. He kept walking up to it, his pistol out, which I think he did when he thought it was his friend vinny just to spur the guys to knock it off. When he got closer to it, he realized that it wasn't friends... it was something large, dark and breathing extremely heavy. he could hear the very heavy breathing that said it bothered him. But, still, he's not stupid, he doesn't go charging blindly into the dark, nor does he shoot at anything he doesn't know. We are responsible people, good up bringing and understanding of firearms.

But, at this point in time.. my little brother is rather scared. He hunts, he knows what's in the woods. and this is not something he has ever seen. He slowly backs away and makes his way into the house. At which point he promptly tells my mother to stay in the house, lock the door, but get the biggest flashlight you can find. Which he does, happens to be a million candlepower.

This time he walks back outside, flashlight and shotgun. The thing that was there is no longer, and he hears crunching on the stone driveway. He spins just in time to see a dark black something run around the edge of the bigger barn. My brother is not stupid, he's not going to walk out there. But, he looks around and can hear the sounds of something breathing still around the corner.

He walks back to the house, turns off the flood lights and his flashlight. He catches movement here and there but nothing comes out to see him.

This continued on for 3 days! All well past midnight and nothing was able to be captured on film. During that time we realized that there wasn't just one of whatever it was. But quite possibly 3 of them. As my brother said that in the darkness he saw the movement of two things like that running about 100 feet away on the stone driveway (with a light metal walled shop so it was a good backdrop to gauge that he wasn't just imagining it). he had seen two moving and later a third further off near the grainbins.

Found sort of marks like foot prints, or maybe bear, but nothing that was distinct at all. There was no smell of a bear, and trust me... you smell them. And it was kinda weird, but what little we saw of them sort of had you feeling like it had the rounded back like a pig. And they moved fast!

During this time I stayed a bit with my girlfriend, and the few trips to my home i didn't linger outside. There was something creepy in the air.

But, after the 3rd day or so.. Never heard or saw anything again like that. Mind you my parents house is pretty weird though, and other things have been seen.

And you wonder why my brother and I are so into this sort of stuff.
