A Dogman Song by Rob from YMIS podcast

The Legend of the Michigan's Dogman
Lyrics
A cool summer morning 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 till 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, ‘bout what ever happened then.They just packed up their belongings and left that night, were never heard from again.
It was ten years later in '97, when a farmer near Buckley was found.Slumped over his plow, his heart had stopped, there were dog tracks all around.
Seven years passed with the turn of the century, they say a crazy old widow had a dream, of dogs that circled her house at night that walked like men and screamed.
In 1917, a sheriff who was out walking 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 '37 a schooner captain said, several crew members had reported a pack of wild dogs roaming Bowers Harbor.His story was never reported.
In '57 a man of the cloth found claw marks on an old church door.The newspaper said they'd been made by a dog, he'd a had to stood 7'4".
In '67 a van-load of hippies, told a park-ranger named Quinlinn, they'd been awakened in the night by a scratch at the window, there was a dogman looking in and grinning.
In '77 there were screams in the night, near the village of Bellaire.Could've been a bobcat, could've been the wind, nobody looked up there.
So far this year, no stories have appeared.Have the dogmen gone away?Have they disappeared?Soon enough I guess we'll know, cuz this is the time to fear, for in this decade called the 80s, the seventh year is here and somewhere in the north-woods darkness, a creature walks upright.And the best advice you may ever get is never to go out at night.
Full Summary
Yeah. Okay. Hey, everybody. Welcome to a conversation. Well, this will be, I guess, a conversation about, not a conversation with, right? About the dog man. I got my uh cryptid guest, Rob, from your most interesting story podcast. And we're going to talk about, is dog men is that the correct terminology here? You know, I've heard it. both ways. I've never heard dog mans. That sounds a little bit weird. So I guess dog men or men a group of dog man. Yeah. Or a pack. A pack of dog man. Yeah. A pack of dog mans. Sounds like a cigarette brand or something. Yeah. I'll take the dog man i got a hankering for tobacco and fur. They don't smell very good, but they like the taste. That's right. It all smells very wet. Wet doggish. So last time we talked about… Mothman. Mothman, yeah. I was just making sure you remembered. I do. So yeah, Mothman, which was pretty fun. And so I have a little more…on the Mothman than I do on the Dogman off the top of my head. But this will be fun. Yeah. I do like the Dogman story. But, you know, I don't think that the Dogman story is quite as prevalent in the cryptid world. You know, kind of Bigfoot, right? Yeah, Bigfoot's the winner, I think, in that regard. That's like the king, right? If we had to have a pyramid of cryptidness. Bigfoot would probably be at the top, and a lot of people love to talk about Bigfoot. Yeah. Maybe we'll eventually get around to that, but in the meantime, I would say in the lower part of the cryptid pyramid, possibly on, you know, not the lowest tier, that would be more like the Van Meter Visitor and the… Oh, what's the other one? The… I have blank on its name. It's also from West Virginia. He looks like a…Flickering Candle, anyway. I can't remember his name now. That's how low he is. Yeah, well, and I'm from West Virginia, as you know, so I don't even know that one. Or I forgot it. Gosh, what is his name? A Flickering Candle. Yeah, that's what it looks like to me. I'm getting the character from, what is that, Beauty and the Beast? That's right, Lumiere. Right, Lumiere is all the way at the bottom. Yeah. Be our guest. Be our guest. Put our service to the test. I can sing the whole soundtrack. You could. Yeah. No, I'll have to think. I will either remember or look it up here in a moment. Yeah, I need to be up to date on every West Virginia cryptid for sure. So vamp for me and I'll tell you here in just a second. Well, I've…Like last time, Bob, I've been doing a little bit of prep work here, been immersing myself in various Dogmen sites. I got it already. What is it? The Flatwoods Monster. Oh, you mentioned that last time. I did. I could not remember Flatwoods. I was thinking it was some other kind of beast of some kind. But the Flatwoods Monster is very low on the cryptid scale. Almost an alien is what they think. Yeah. One offer, too, right? Yeah, there's not been a lot of Flatwood Monsters to speak of. Repeat cryptid offender. I'm sorry, I interrupted you. Go right ahead. No, I was vamping. I was just saying I've been immersing myself and listening to different Dogman accounts and reading up on some sites and trying to get good and faux knowledgeable as I can be about Dogman. I think that's…Yeah. I think phone knowledgeable is very good in the cryptid world. Oh yeah. It's kind of hard to be anything else. I would, uh, I would say Matt Moneymaker is very phone knowledgeable of Bigfoot. Yep. Yep. I think that we could have coined a word tonight. Phone knowledgeable. Phone knowledgeable. F-A-U-X. Did my doctorate in phonology. Phonology. Yeah. Um, So, yeah, no, exactly. Now, there's a couple of different variations of Dogman. Did you know that? I did. I did. And what's the difference? Actually, you know what, Bob? Whenever you're ready, I've got a quiz I've put together for you to test your Dogman. Out of the gate. Let's just do that before we learn anything. Okay. So, here's what I think. This is our pre-test, right? And then we'll have a post-test. We'll do a post-test, and we'll see how you score in both. All right.Well, I tried to rank these kind of in what I believe to be order of difficulty. Okay. And I'm going to just ask the question. If you want to go for it, go for it. However, we could go multiple choice. That's like tier two, right? If you have no clue, I can give you multiple choice. All right. I'm going to try to answer without multiple choice, though. Okay. Okay, good. I like the confidence. Yeah, I'm trying. I'm going to try. In what area or habitat do most dogman sightings occur? My guess would be in wooded areas. I don't know if that's what you mean by areas, but wooded would be my guess. I had a hard time thinking, what is it, an area or a habitat? But yeah, wooded areas is exactly correct, usually remote. And then there's an extra part about this where they supposedly like to have access to water. Yeah, all animals like access. I mean, typically, unless you're earthworm or something. Right.Well, they still probably like water, but just not a lot of it. Yeah, it's in the ground somewhere. I have like a worm that way as well. I don't like being totally submerged. Well, that's why they come out to the puddles, right? Because that's their access right there. You know, when I was a kid, before we'd go fishing, my mom would spend the evenings watering the lawn with a hose so that the night crawlers would come out. There you go. It makes it easier. It does. They come right out of the hole. Yeah, they jump up at you. In their own way. If they… you get some of those aggressive ones and, man, watch out they they can take a nibble out of your heel that's right all right number two what breed of domestic dog do eyewitnesses most frequently compare the dog man to? I'm going to guess a german Shepherd. Two for two yeah very impressiveI wasn't totally sure, but that was what I think, yeah. I would say wolves, which are not domestic dogs. Well, I guess in some instances people try to make them that way. Yeah, there's domesticated wolf, yeah. Yeah, okay. And also sometimes Doberman, but German Shepherd is the prevalent comparison. Okay, this is going to be a two-parter. Number three. And I tried to phrase it in a way that will make sense. So there's going to be a range of percentages. Oh, yeah, okay. I'm going to get this one wrong. Go ahead. Approximately what percentage of witnesses mentioned that their dog man had glowing eyes? And let's go in spans of 25, you know, zero to 25, et cetera. I think it's 75. That's my guess. No, surprisingly, a very small percentage. Well below 25%. Yeah. I was on the wrong end of that one. So this one, I think this one has to be multiple choice because you wouldn't just get this one out of the gate. But yeah,of those that do report the glowing eyes, what color do they say these eyes are? Okay, so i'm going to give you four four choices always green yellow sometimes blue, red, sometimes yellow, or a bluish white. I am going to go with red, sometimes yellow. That's exactly right. Yeah. Hit part B of that question. Thanks. Do I get a whole credit for that or just a half credit? 75%. Three quarters. Yeah. Three quarters credit. All right. What area of the U.S. is the most common to dog man sightings? Generally. What area? Generally, I would say north. A little less general. Okay. The northern part of the Midwest,...
