Dogman Encounters Radio

One night last month, tonight’s guests, Josh and Nikki Taylor, visited Jerome Cemetery in Jerome, Indiana, with their 12-year-old daughter, Bella. Known for its reported paranormal activity, the cemetery has drawn visitors who describe hearing disembodied growling and barking, as well as seeing what they call hellhounds. Josh and Nikki went there hoping to experience some of that activity, but the...

Tonight’s guest, Andy, is a huge fan of trains and railroad artifacts, so it should come as no surprise that one of his favorite pastimes is exploring remote places in the woods in search of railroad history. Over the years, those trips have led to some interesting finds and fond memories. But they’ve also led to some frightening experiences—including two Dogman encounters. His first encounter sho...

Tonight’s guest, Dan Hammond, is a paranormal investigator based in southwestern Ontario, Canada, with more than 10 years of experience investigating paranormal events and cryptid sightings. Although he says he was once punched in the nose by a ghost that followed him home from an investigation at an old farmhouse, cryptids still frighten him more than the prospect of being physically attacked by...

Tonight’s guest, Sean Patterson, was featured on Episodes 667 and 668. On Episode 667, he shared several experiences he had in a forest on the outskirts of Irvine, California. He calls the area where he’s repeatedly seen Dogmen “The Sanctuary.” Sean had so many experiences to share that, by the time he finished, I hadn’t had a chance to ask the questions I’d prepared for him. Fortunately, he agree...

Tonight’s guest, James R. Hood, is a Dogman field investigator who has been interested in cryptids since he was 13 years old. Little did he know, back then, that one day he’d be interviewing Dogman eyewitnesses and conducting field investigations in the very places where they had their encounters. On tonight’s show, not only will I be talking with James about his investigations, he’s also going to...

Adam Merriott is a filmmaker who lives in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The reason Adam is here tonight is that he’s working on a project called “Legacy of the Forest,” a cinematic horror story focused on the Dogman phenomenon. Adam’s main goal with the project is to tell the stories behind the Dogman encounters so many eyewitnesses have had over the years, using the language of cinema. Adam isn’t making...

On last week’s show, our guest, Sean Patterson, talked about several of the amazing Dogman encounters he’s had in a place tucked away in the woods surrounding Irvine, California. He calls the place “The Dogman Sanctuary.” Due to how many experiences he had to share on last week’s show, I didn’t have time to ask him the plethora of questions I had for him. There also wasn’t enough time for me to di...

In the woods surrounding Irvine, California, there’s an area tonight’s guest, Sean Patterson, was drawn to when he was younger. He doesn’t know why, but he always enjoyed spending time there while roaming the woods. More than 10 years later, Sean made an amazing discovery about that spot. He says the area serves as a sanctuary for a group of Dogmen and that, after spending so much time there, they...

Late one night in 2012, tonight’s guest was riding home with her fiancé in Marietta, Ohio, after feeding, watering, and exercising her horse where she had been boarding him. Her fiancé was driving, and “Mandy” had her feet up on the dashboard on the passenger side of his truck. As they drove past Sacra Via Park, all of a sudden, her fiancé slammed on the brakes and stopped the truck in the road. W...

Tonight’s guest, Ken, was born and raised in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. Located along the northern edge of the Endless Mountains, Susquehanna County is home to countless forest-covered, rolling hills and the kind of terrain that would make it easy for a large cryptid to remain hidden. Late one night, in November of 2016, Ken was driving his ex-girlfriend around while she delivered newspaper...

Nine years ago, tonight’s guest, Dave, contacted me to tell me about a Dogman encounter he’d had not long before reaching out to me. The encounter had traumatized him, and he contacted me hoping I could help him come to terms with what he’d experienced. Dave was no stranger to the woods. He’d spent untold hours in the outdoors over the years, doing all sorts of things. In fact, many years before h...

Tonight’s guest wishes to remain anonymous, so I’m going to call her “Nicki” on tonight’s show. Nicki lives near the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. That’s by design, not by chance. You see, she’s always loved spending time in the outdoors. In fact, for the longest time, one of her favorite things to do was take her massive Husky/Lab mix, Steel, to a nearby reservoir, close to a place call...

Tonight’s guest is Mike Fitzhugh. Mike is the creator of the Dogman Cometh app, a groundbreaking tool designed to help people who spend time in the woods document, analyze, and investigate potential Dogman evidence right from their smartphones. If someone discovers what they believe might be evidence left behind by a Dogman—such as tufts of fur, unusual tree gouges, tracks, or other signs—they can...

Tonight's guest, Nadine Smith, is a paranormal investigator who has had some extremely frightening experiences with ghosts, demons, or whatever they were. None of those experiences frightened her as much as a bad Dogman encounter she had one night, at her home, however. You see, that night, she watched a Dogman rip the front door of her home off, merely feet from where she was standing in her home...

Tonight’s guest, Bruce Brown, is a former law enforcement officer who was featured on Episodes 623 and 624. On those shows, he told us about several Dogman encounters he’d had, up to the airing of those episodes. Since those episodes aired, however, he’s had more encounters. By far, the most intense encounter he’s had since then was the day he found himself 20 feet from a vicious Dogman fight. We...

Tonight’s guest, Joe Bass, describes himself as a backwoods Appalachian with a lifetime of bushcraft experience. Growing up in the mountains of Appalachia, he spent countless hours exploring the rugged wilderness, and over the years, he had more than his share of memorable experiences there. None of them, however, compared to what happened on June 13, 2020, when he came face-to-face with a jet-bla...

Tonight’s guest, Caleb White, has been interested in Werewolves for as long as he can remember. Before he saw the movie Silver Bullet, for the first time, when he was a kid, he was already fascinated in Werewolves. When he saw that movie, however, the hook was officially set. Back then, Werewolves were figments of our imagination. When Caleb and his best friend, Ethan, would play in the woods on h...

Tonight’s guest, Brett Ford, had two encounters with what some people would call Bearwolves, while he and his family were visiting Newfoundland, last summer. The encounters happened in fairly quick succession, on the same night, which makes Brett think they were connected somehow. The two Bearwolves/Dogmen he saw were definitely different creatures, as they looked different from one another. The f...

In the summer of 2000, on a beautiful, sunny day, tonight’s guest, Randy, was driving home down a country road when he saw something that fits the description of being a Werewolf much more so than that of a Dogman. Werewolves don’t exist, though. Or do they? Randy says that he didn’t fear anything before he had that encounter, but when you see something that gives you every indication that it was...

Tonight’s guest, Rick, had his Dogman encounter one night, in 1990, around dusk. He was sitting in church with his wife, at the time, when he realized he had heard the sermon the pastor was just starting to give. When he realized he had already heard it, he told his wife that he was going to take a ride in his 85 Chevy pickup truck to kill some time. Not long after he had left the church, he turne...

Tonight’s guest, Kevin Bennage, had his Dogman encounter in the shadow of the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming, about 2 miles from home. His encounter left him shaken to the core. He was so rattled by the experience, he didn’t sleep a wink that night, when he got home. For some time, after he had that experience, he suffered from frequent night terrors. To this day, he still refuses to head into the w...

On November 17th of 1995, tonight’s guest, Bruno Thompson, was scouting the forest where he and his Uncle Tony planned to deer hunt the next morning, in Wisconsin. Bruno had already spent countless hours in the woods by then, even though he was quite a bit younger. None of his prior experiences could have prepared him for what he experienced that night, however. He still heads into the woods now....

Tonight’s guest, Phil Kotval, was featured on Episodes 644 and 646. On Episode 644, he told us about the apparent Werewolf encounter he had, when he was 8 years old and staying at his auntie’s house, but he didn’t tell us about the Dogman encounters he’s had. On Episode 646, he told us about other experiences he’s had, but not the Dogman encounters. On tonight’s show, Phil has come back to share h...

Tonight’s guest, Michaela, lives on the Gold Coast of Australia and 41 years ago, in 1985, she had a Dogman encounter there. You see, she had just left a nightclub and was walking home when it happened. She had spent hours at the nightclub, but she was still sober, as she hadn’t had much, at all, to drink. At the time, she had never heard about Dogmen or what a Dogman could look like. That was abo...

On April 21st, of this year, tonight’s guest, Laura Sheets, was heading home from a place where she works as a contractor, in Marysville, Ohio, when she had a Dogman encounter. There was something about the Dogman she saw that made it different from most Dogmen eyewitnesses report seeing. Not only did the Dogman she saw have an odd quality, compared to most other Dogmen eyewitnesses report seeing,...
