At at tonight's guest wishes to remain anonymous. With that in mind, we're
just gonna call your Dixie. Dixie, welcome to the show. Thank you,
glad to be here. Well, it's great having you. Thank you
for your time. Dixie. Please give us a brief bio in yourself.
A brief bio on myself. Well, I've lived in Florida, Indiana,
northern Minnesota, also on the mountains of Wyoming. I'm retired. I love
reading hi I love going for hypes. I grow my own plants and herbs.
I make my own salves. I am very independent person. I have
three children and two grandchildren. You sure have carved a great life out for
yourself. How often do you think about dog Men? Actually, I think
about him more now. I blocked it out of my mind when the event
had happened for a while, But I think about dog Man now. I
think about Sasquash. I think about all these different crypto things that are out
there that scientists don't believe in, but I know in my heart that they're
real. There's something to it. We're not being told the truth. I
don't know if it's a cover up per se, but until I think you
actually experience it. I tended to always be Oh, that's a bunch of
malarchy, that's not real. But once it happens to you, it changes
your whole view on life. It changes the way you look at your reality
and you look at the world. It really does. It changes everything that
you thought you knew. It did me anyhow, Oh, sure that's natural.
You have to you have a dog man encounter, How could you look
at anything in life the same. It just changes everything. Like you said,
when you think about dog men, Dixie, is it a good thing
or a bad thing? Now it's not a bad thing. At first,
there was a lot of fear, but I'm fine now, I'm good with
it. I mean, it doesn't bother me. If I saw another one,
I'd know how i'd handle it. I'm accepting of it. I think
the fear is a normal response though, because it's the unknown. It's something
that were not programmed in our minds to see, and it really shocks your
system because you're seeing it, but your brain is telling you that's not real,
that's not real. It's a pretty life altering experience. I wasn't scared.
There was fear, but I never felt threatened, and I'm very accepting
now of a lot of things that I never would have been when I was
younger. Well, it goes without saying, I'm so glad you came to
terms with it. Thank Goodness for that. Do you wish you never would
have had that encounter or all things considered? Are you glad you had it
and now know definitively that they're out there? I'm glad I had it because
sometimes I feel like, not this relates to this, but doubting Thomas.
I guess when I was younger, and it's like I had to see it
to believe that. But now I believe things without seeing, and that's a
good thing. It keeps me open minded, which is how I think more
people should be. I am. Anyway, at the time, it didn't
feel good, but it ended up being good in the long run for me.
Well, you know what they say, it's not how you start,
it's how you finish, And thank Goodness wound up being a good thing in
the end. Yes, for me, it was he used to raise wolves.
Where did you raise them? And what made you decide to do that?
My first husband and my father in law had a four hundred acre farm
and we raised beef cattle, We had pigs, we had chickens, and
we watched the wolves and found the den and we went out, got the
pups and raised them. We'd train them and then they'd sell them to the
Native Americans. They'd use them for hunting or whatever. So, yes,
I'm very familiar with wolves. Wolves are very shy creatures by nature. That's
what my experience has done. Their tendency is to avoid us. They're very
shy, but when they're threatened they can be aggressive. But by nature,
wolves are shy. They avoid us. You know, they'll sit back and
watch you at a distance. But it was quite an experience raising wolves.
We had three. We raised them as pups. The first thing, we
all ended up with bug bites. They had lice, so we had to
do love with some. And then we started working with them from a very
early age. And if the wolf got aggressive, I would bite it in
the air. I know that sounds crazy, but it worked. I'd let
it know I was the alpha female and that worked for me. But yeah,
so I know what wolves are. I mean, I know a timber
wolf. I lived in the middle of four hundred acres in northern Minnesota.
With my first husband and his family, and that's all we did was hunt
and trap, and we raised pheasants, we had bear We were more like
naturalists. I guess you would call it. We had pet deer. I've
been blessed throughout my life. I really have. I'd say ye half.

please go to Dogmanencounters dot com Forward Slash podcast. Do you think dogmen are
just a kind of mutant wolf? If not, what do you think they
are? No, I don't. I don't think it's a wolf. I
think it's a totally different species. Maybe it's an ancient species. Maybe it's
a I don't know. Because it was like half human and half wolf.
It had characteristics of a human, but it also it had a wolf head
and wolf feet. It had a huge pause. So no, I don't
know. I know what a wolf is. This was not a wolf.
This is not a dire wolf or anything like that. I raised wolves.
I know what wolves are. This is a different individual species. Well,
you'd know as well as pretty much anyone if you've had a dog mean encounter.
I would like to speak with me about it, whether in private or
on the show. Please go to Dogmanencounters dot com and submit a report.

All right, Dixie, please tell us about your encounter. Now give us
ever last detail that comes to mind. My encounter happened the beginning of August
in nineteen ninety five. My two younger children, my boys, and I
were coming back from Rushford, South Dakota, seeing my mother and we were
going on Highway twenty three. It was dark, it was about ten thirty
pm and it was a black night. There was no moon. There was
a field on my left and open field. Because I had just gone past
deer in the field, I could see him out there. And on the
right there was a river and it was really wooded. So the left side
of the road is open, and then the right side is completely wooded with
a river. And I was doing the speed limitling along no cars. It's
out in the middle of nowhere. Now you got to imagine you're going down
a road that people normally aren't on at that time of night. There's a
twenty mile stretch where there's no towns, and something caught my right preferal vision,
and I looked over and I saw a seven foot tall black fur wolf
faced and ears. The hands looked human, but they had like really long
fingernails or claws, and I didn't see a neck. It was like there
was no neck. It was just the head, the shoulders. Then it
got slim towards the waist and the chest area, and you could see them
the muscles like the six pack on a man. I could see that there
was no hair there. And then the most muscular legs, thighs and calves
I've ever seen. Seven feet tall. It was coming from the right.
It got to the ditch on the side of the road and jumped. It
was kind of like a gallop to the middle of the road and then off
the road and into the field. The eyes were red and there were like
on its knees there were patches where there was no fur, very muscular.
I did have the window crack because I'm a smoker, and there was like
a a bad smell. I can't describe it, like rotting meat. If
that makes sense, like a skunk, a bad skunk and what else.
I did not see a tail, but I thought it was mail, I
don't know why. And the ears were straight up. The ears were like
a German shepherd or wolf, but a huge, huge head things. I
could see the things, and it was looking at the field from coming right
to left. It was like it was looking at the field, and my
thought was it was going for the deer. But when it got in the
middle of the road and it saw my headlights, it turned at me.
That's how I knew that the eyes were red, and I didn't know if
that was because of the headlights or if their eyes are red. But the
eyes were red. They were big, and they were red, and the
fur was all black. Otherwise, like I said, there was open patch
on the chest area and a sixth pack. There were some places, like
on the thighs where it wasn't It wasn't quite as hairy, and I did
not see a tail, but that could have been that the tail was on
the other side of the animal as it ran by. I really wasn't looking
for a tail. I just in my first instinct when I saw this thing
on the right side of the road, was fear, I'm not seeing this,
this isn't real. That was my first thought was fear. It scared
me. But it was seven feet tall, and like I said, it
bounded from the ditch to the center of the road. To the ditch.
It was one to three steps. It was huge and the feet were big,
but they were paused. It was like a dog. The feet were
like a dog, but it could go very fast. And that was my
experience. I watched it go part way in the field and then I lost
it because of my headlights. But it was very, very a fearful feeling
for me. At that moment. I had two sleeping children in the back
of my car, and I didn't know what it was going to do.
But it kept going. It just looked at me and kept going. It
wasn't interested in me. I've never told anyone about it, and like I
said, this was ninety five, so it's been almost thirty years for me.
But I've dwell done it and thought about it. At first, I
wouldn't even go in the woods at night. I refused to drive at night.
I still don't like to drive at night, but I go hiking in
the woods. I don't have a problem with that. I've been to a
lask in the woods. I'm good, I'm good. I was meant to
see what I saw. I don't know why, but I was meant to
see it. But my fear was for my children at that moment. Oh,
I'm sure it was. He understandably, so you had your window down,
Not that that would change anything, but you didn't know that, so
it's only naturally you'd be concerned about them. You never did tell your kids
about seeing it, You said, does that bother you? My youngest son
knows, so does my middle child. My oldest child doesn't. Yeah,
she doesn't tend to believe in stuff like that, so she knows I've seen
something that she doesn't know what it is. She doesn't want to know,
but my voice, my one does believe me, and one doesn't. Well,
as far as your daughter goes. Sometimes for people, it's best not
to know. That's just how some people are. The thing that I find
interesting about this is five minutes later down the road, you know, when
I'm collecting myself and I calmed down, the northern lights came out. They
were the brightest I've ever seen them. Now, I don't know if that's
a coincidence or why that happened. That that happened right after that incident,
It just I'll never forget that. Well, you never know those two things
might be connected. It's hard to say. I don't know, but I
found that interesting that that happened like that. I saw what I saw.
I didn't believe I was seeing it. It's like it took my mind a
second to catch up with what my eyes were seeing, because you just you
don't want to believe you're seeing it, and you are. And then I
just I kept going and all of a sudden, the northern nights all of
a sudden, and I mean it was a pitch black night, and then
the northern nights were out. So that was I don't know. I don't
know if there's a coincidence or a correlation there, but I found that interesting
when I think back on it now. It doesn't happen often, but from
time to time I'll come across an eyewitness who reports something like that. I'll
see orbs floating around or some other strange anomaly. Like I said, it
doesn't happen all that often, but it does happen from time to time.
It's hard to figure out did it seem to be surprised by you coming along
or didn't seem to carry the way. It seems surprised because it did turn
its head and look at me, like what are you doing here? But
then it turned back and kept going. I turned it head and it looked
directly at me because I could see the K nineteenth. But then it turned
its head back. It was like it was said on getting something to eat,
I thought. I mean, I was trying to picture it, like
how when I raised wolves, what would they do? And that was where
my train of thought went. The first thing that came to me was fear.
And I don't know if that's just a natural response or why, because
usually when you see something I'll see That's the only time that's ever happened to
me where I've seen something that wild. But that was my thatt reflex was
fear. It really was. I was scared. I was very fearful for
my children, for myself. I didn't know if this thing was going to
come through my It was that thing. It could have came right through my
windshield if it wanted. It's good, you understand that. Yeah, how
much do you think it weighed? Oh? God, I bet at least
two fifty three hundred. I don't know two fifty anyway, listening to you
describe it, it definitely doesn't sound fragile. No, it was very muscular,
and that's what I was. My fear was when he turned, if
he came at me, because he was in the middle of the road,
I was going to have to go around him, and was I going to
make it around him? But he kept going. It's like, I think
you got you're a wonderful gone, thank you, oh that you're thinking that
I was. How would you compare the way it moved compared to the way
a wolf does, Dixie. It was more of a gallop when he came
from and I saw him jump into the ditch and he galloped to the middle
of the road and then galloped off. It was like a gallop. But
when he got to the middle, he looked up and he turned and looked
at me because I think my head light startled him. And he had the
reddest eyes, the reddest eyes, and you could see the on the face.
There were parts that would just skin. There was no hair on some
of that where it was kind of crinkly, you know, like when a
wolf is showing his teeth, you know what I mean when they growl.
Oh. Yeah, you could see that that was just there wasn't a whole
lot of fur on top. It was just skin. You could see whiskers
and stuff. But there was black skin, that black pigment. It was
her. Yeah, and then the red eyes. But I mean that the
ears and the top of the head that was all black fur. Down the
back of the neck that was all black fur like a wolf, real thick.
You know how they have that tough on the side of their face.
That's what he had. He had that black tough. I call it a
tough. I don't know what it's technically called. But he had that thick
black but on the face itself. When he crinkled up his nose, you
could see the flash. You could see the wrinkles. From listening to you
describe how that encounter played out, you definitely got to look at it from
the back. With that in mind, Did you notice anything interesting around its
shoulder area, the back of its neck. It was very furry. There
was a lot of fur. I couldn't see a neck that's what. There
was like a curvature there, but you couldn't see the neck. It was
like it went from head to shoulders, and the shoulders were broad, and
then it went down thin to the waist and then you could see the hind
corters, the thighs and the hind But I didn't see a tail. I
don't remember the tail. It probably had one, but I just I was
just in shock. I think I was scared, but I remember it as
plain as they I've dreamt about it for years and years and years. Well,
I'm sure you did. And listening to you describe the nape of his
neck and down by his shoulders, I guess you could say, it sounds
to me like you're describing what could be described as a mean Is that how
you would describe it? Yeah, it was. It was just all fur
and you could see there was like a curve there, but you couldn't see
the neck. It was just fur, black fur, black hair. And
then it got thinner as it went down. Now the middle of his back
had fur hair or whatever, but it got less towards the middle of his
stomach area, I guess, and then he got more towards the buttocks.
Very muscular. Well, you could see you could see the muscles. You
could see him rippling when he moved, they moved your muscles move. You
could see that it was scary. Yeah, I'm sure it was scary.
Let's talk about its ears now, how tall would you say they were?
Oh, my gosh, the ears had to be let me think they were
big. I mean, take a normal wolf and double it at least,
and a normal wolf they're like four inches, so they were like, yeah,
I'd say about eight. But they were proportionate to what I was looking
at. That was what was so amazing to me was the size was so
humongous, but it looked proportionate. You say, they were in proportion to
the size of its head. But did you notice anything unusual about its ears
and the interesting features? No, they were pointed that. No, it
looked like a wolf. To me, the ears looked like a wolf.
They were hairy inside, they were lighter, the hair was lighter, but
they were black on the outside. They went straight up to a point.
Those were some big ears. You said you could smell it. How close
were you to it At the closest point, Dixie, it was two feet
in front of my vehicle. I was in a Chevy Lumina. I had
a ninety one Chevy Lumina and this was nineteen ninety five, so yeah,
he was two feet in front of me. I climbed my brakes on.
That is close, way too close for comfort. You said, it disappeared
into that tall grass in that field on the one side of the road.
But do you think it ever did catch one of the deer personally, yes,
I think it did. Something that big, that fast. I don't
think a deer would stand a chance. I really don't. I know deer
can be fast, but this thing could go. I've never seen another one.
I never wanted to see another one. I mean, I'm not afraid
to see one now. I live back in Florida now, but if I
saw one, I would I wouldn't be as scared as I was the first
time, I don't think, but my natural it was just an overwhelming sense
of fear, it really was. It scared me to see something that big.
And it's hard to explain to people because your eyes are seeing something that
your brain is taking a minute to comprehend it. It's like, you know,
like how you hear how people rub their neck. They see something and
they turn their neck real quick because they can't believe they saw that that's how
my mind was. It's like, no, this can't be real, but
it was. It was a living, breathing creature. It's totally expected you
would respond that way. I mean, after all, your whole life,
you've been programmed to believe that they can't be out there, the things like
sasquatch can't be out there. Well, one day while you have an encounter,
you see it with your own two eyes, I guess what they are
out there. Then that just turns your world upside down. You really have
to reevaluate how you look at a lot of things. Yeah, it took
me five years to probably go hiking again. And I still don't like driving
at night, just because of all the animals. I don't like to get
anything. I'm an animal lover. Change. If I don't have to drive
at night, I won't. Somebody else can drive. I don't want to
be the one to do it. But it did change my view. Yes,
there are things out there, and I never would have believed it if
I hadn't seen it. But it did change my whole outlook on reality in
the world we live in and the things we're told and how we're programmed.
So I make my own assumptions. Now, I don't listen. I try
to stay away from the news and I just don't want to hear it.
I tend to believe people who see things now because I've been there, I've
seen it the real What I saw was a real creature. They call it
a dog man. That's a good term. I would call it wolf man
if it was me, because it looked half wolf and half man to me.
But the height is what got me. I've never seen a wolf that
big or a man that big. So is it an ancient creature? Does
it come from another dimension? No? I don't think so, because if
something came from another dimension, would it have to eat? And this thing
was hungry. It was going after pray. I really believe that. Yeah,
it was real. It was a real creature. You saw what you
saw, and that's all there is to it. This might seem like a
strange question, Dixie. But of course there are negative things that came along
with it. But can you think of any positive things to stem from me?
Haven't that encounter? The positive things that came out of it are that
I am more open minded, and two of my children are more open mind
about hearing about things. That like the dog Man, the sasquash, the
thunderbird, the lizard Man, things of that nature. They're like, yeah,
you know what, UFOs, we can't be the only universe out there
with life on it when you think about it. I mean, there's billions
of universes. So the positive is that I've learned to be more open minded.
I've learned to stand up for myself because my fear was people would laugh
at me and no one would believe me. But I know what I saw
and I'm okay with that. If people don't believe, that's on them.
I know what I saw and I'm okay with it. So I'm more sure
of myself now, and I'm more open to things happening in my world and
in my life that maybe are unexpected. But not all fearful things are bad
for us. Maybe they're to open our minds, face our fears, and
move on. Well, it goes without saying I'm so glad to hear that
you've had some positive takeaways from that experience. That's good. That's a good
thing. Well, it's about time for us to get out of here,
Dixie. But before we do, do you have any closing comments you'd like
to share. My closing comment to people would be, if somebody comes to
you and they're serious about something they've seen, be open minded at least listen
to them, whether you believe in it or not. Just be open minded
and support them because they're going to need support. It can be very traumatic,
I think for some people. I'm not a really dramatic person, so
I guess I didn't look at it that way. And yes I was fearful,
but and it might have been traumatic at that moment, but I mean
I was over and it was good, it was okay. So just be
supportive because everybody handles something like that differently, I guess, So just be
supportive of people, be open minded. Those would be my closing comments.
I wish I could see it again. Be careful what you wish for Kaus.
You just might get it someday. People tell me that, some people
even I said, well, I'm hoping I have a camera next time where
But you don't think to pick your phone up? You really don't. You're
just so dumbfounded by what you're seeing. Oh of course, Yeah, the
last thing you're going to think about is picking up a phone to take a
picture your mouth is hanging wide open and you're just trying to take it all
in. Yeah, but no, then that would be my closing comment.
If somebody comes to you as a person out there and tells you they'd have
to be open minded and just be supportive, well that's great advice, Dixie.
I can't thank you enough for coming on and sharing the details of that
experience with this. I really appreciate it. Thank you, thank you for
having me on. Wait no, you're welcome. Thanks again so much,
and have a great night.
