1 00:00:11,199 --> 00:01:30,319 At at tonight's guest wishes to remain anonymous. With that in mind, we're 2 00:01:30,359 --> 00:01:36,439 just gonna call your Dixie. Dixie, welcome to the show. Thank you, 3 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,040 glad to be here. Well, it's great having you. Thank you 4 00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:44,439 for your time. Dixie. Please give us a brief bio in yourself. 5 00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:51,840 A brief bio on myself. Well, I've lived in Florida, Indiana, 6 00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:57,640 northern Minnesota, also on the mountains of Wyoming. I'm retired. I love 7 00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:05,239 reading hi I love going for hypes. I grow my own plants and herbs. 8 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:10,719 I make my own salves. I am very independent person. I have 9 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:16,639 three children and two grandchildren. You sure have carved a great life out for 10 00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:25,840 yourself. How often do you think about dog Men? Actually, I think 11 00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:31,360 about him more now. I blocked it out of my mind when the event 12 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:40,520 had happened for a while, But I think about dog Man now. I 13 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:50,000 think about Sasquash. I think about all these different crypto things that are out 14 00:02:50,039 --> 00:02:58,680 there that scientists don't believe in, but I know in my heart that they're 15 00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:06,759 real. There's something to it. We're not being told the truth. I 16 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:12,800 don't know if it's a cover up per se, but until I think you 17 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:20,520 actually experience it. I tended to always be Oh, that's a bunch of 18 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:27,199 malarchy, that's not real. But once it happens to you, it changes 19 00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:31,719 your whole view on life. It changes the way you look at your reality 20 00:03:32,039 --> 00:03:38,439 and you look at the world. It really does. It changes everything that 21 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:45,479 you thought you knew. It did me anyhow, Oh, sure that's natural. 22 00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:47,319 You have to you have a dog man encounter, How could you look 23 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,039 at anything in life the same. It just changes everything. Like you said, 24 00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:54,879 when you think about dog men, Dixie, is it a good thing 25 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:01,960 or a bad thing? Now it's not a bad thing. At first, 26 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:08,960 there was a lot of fear, but I'm fine now, I'm good with 27 00:04:09,039 --> 00:04:12,599 it. I mean, it doesn't bother me. If I saw another one, 28 00:04:12,639 --> 00:04:16,839 I'd know how i'd handle it. I'm accepting of it. I think 29 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:23,639 the fear is a normal response though, because it's the unknown. It's something 30 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:30,879 that were not programmed in our minds to see, and it really shocks your 31 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,759 system because you're seeing it, but your brain is telling you that's not real, 32 00:04:33,879 --> 00:04:41,480 that's not real. It's a pretty life altering experience. I wasn't scared. 33 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:49,079 There was fear, but I never felt threatened, and I'm very accepting 34 00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:54,120 now of a lot of things that I never would have been when I was 35 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,600 younger. Well, it goes without saying, I'm so glad you came to 36 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,920 terms with it. Thank Goodness for that. Do you wish you never would 37 00:05:00,959 --> 00:05:05,279 have had that encounter or all things considered? Are you glad you had it 38 00:05:05,319 --> 00:05:14,199 and now know definitively that they're out there? I'm glad I had it because 39 00:05:14,959 --> 00:05:20,160 sometimes I feel like, not this relates to this, but doubting Thomas. 40 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:25,839 I guess when I was younger, and it's like I had to see it 41 00:05:25,879 --> 00:05:31,319 to believe that. But now I believe things without seeing, and that's a 42 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:39,240 good thing. It keeps me open minded, which is how I think more 43 00:05:39,319 --> 00:05:44,279 people should be. I am. Anyway, at the time, it didn't 44 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,680 feel good, but it ended up being good in the long run for me. 45 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,759 Well, you know what they say, it's not how you start, 46 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,360 it's how you finish, And thank Goodness wound up being a good thing in 47 00:05:54,399 --> 00:06:00,000 the end. Yes, for me, it was he used to raise wolves. 48 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,519 Where did you raise them? And what made you decide to do that? 49 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,279 My first husband and my father in law had a four hundred acre farm 50 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:14,480 and we raised beef cattle, We had pigs, we had chickens, and 51 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,959 we watched the wolves and found the den and we went out, got the 52 00:06:16,959 --> 00:06:21,120 pups and raised them. We'd train them and then they'd sell them to the 53 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:27,680 Native Americans. They'd use them for hunting or whatever. So, yes, 54 00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:33,240 I'm very familiar with wolves. Wolves are very shy creatures by nature. That's 55 00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:42,519 what my experience has done. Their tendency is to avoid us. They're very 56 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,199 shy, but when they're threatened they can be aggressive. But by nature, 57 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,120 wolves are shy. They avoid us. You know, they'll sit back and 58 00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:57,279 watch you at a distance. But it was quite an experience raising wolves. 59 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,319 We had three. We raised them as pups. The first thing, we 60 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,959 all ended up with bug bites. They had lice, so we had to 61 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:13,560 do love with some. And then we started working with them from a very 62 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,399 early age. And if the wolf got aggressive, I would bite it in 63 00:07:17,439 --> 00:07:21,959 the air. I know that sounds crazy, but it worked. I'd let 64 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:29,439 it know I was the alpha female and that worked for me. But yeah, 65 00:07:29,839 --> 00:07:31,920 so I know what wolves are. I mean, I know a timber 66 00:07:31,959 --> 00:07:38,120 wolf. I lived in the middle of four hundred acres in northern Minnesota. 67 00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:44,160 With my first husband and his family, and that's all we did was hunt 68 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:49,639 and trap, and we raised pheasants, we had bear We were more like 69 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:56,040 naturalists. I guess you would call it. We had pet deer. I've 70 00:07:56,079 --> 00:08:00,000 been blessed throughout my life. I really have. I'd say ye half. 71 00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:03,000 If you'd like to be able to listen to the show without ads and have 72 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,480 full access to bonus content, that's an option. To find out how, 73 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:15,920 please go to Dogmanencounters dot com Forward Slash podcast. Do you think dogmen are 74 00:08:15,959 --> 00:08:18,720 just a kind of mutant wolf? If not, what do you think they 75 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:24,759 are? No, I don't. I don't think it's a wolf. I 76 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:35,519 think it's a totally different species. Maybe it's an ancient species. Maybe it's 77 00:08:35,639 --> 00:08:39,720 a I don't know. Because it was like half human and half wolf. 78 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,320 It had characteristics of a human, but it also it had a wolf head 79 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:54,600 and wolf feet. It had a huge pause. So no, I don't 80 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,840 know. I know what a wolf is. This was not a wolf. 81 00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:03,559 This is not a dire wolf or anything like that. I raised wolves. 82 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:09,759 I know what wolves are. This is a different individual species. Well, 83 00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:13,120 you'd know as well as pretty much anyone if you've had a dog mean encounter. 84 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,639 I would like to speak with me about it, whether in private or 85 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,360 on the show. Please go to Dogmanencounters dot com and submit a report. 86 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,639 If you've had a bigfoot sighting and would like to be a guest on one 87 00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:28,000 of my two bigfoot shows, please go to my Bigfoot Sighting dot com. 88 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,200 All right, Dixie, please tell us about your encounter. Now give us 89 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:43,120 ever last detail that comes to mind. My encounter happened the beginning of August 90 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:48,679 in nineteen ninety five. My two younger children, my boys, and I 91 00:09:48,759 --> 00:09:54,120 were coming back from Rushford, South Dakota, seeing my mother and we were 92 00:09:54,159 --> 00:09:58,879 going on Highway twenty three. It was dark, it was about ten thirty 93 00:09:58,919 --> 00:10:05,679 pm and it was a black night. There was no moon. There was 94 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,200 a field on my left and open field. Because I had just gone past 95 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,840 deer in the field, I could see him out there. And on the 96 00:10:13,919 --> 00:10:18,440 right there was a river and it was really wooded. So the left side 97 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,279 of the road is open, and then the right side is completely wooded with 98 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:30,200 a river. And I was doing the speed limitling along no cars. It's 99 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,399 out in the middle of nowhere. Now you got to imagine you're going down 100 00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:37,799 a road that people normally aren't on at that time of night. There's a 101 00:10:37,919 --> 00:10:46,279 twenty mile stretch where there's no towns, and something caught my right preferal vision, 102 00:10:46,519 --> 00:10:58,759 and I looked over and I saw a seven foot tall black fur wolf 103 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:09,399 faced and ears. The hands looked human, but they had like really long 104 00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:15,519 fingernails or claws, and I didn't see a neck. It was like there 105 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,600 was no neck. It was just the head, the shoulders. Then it 106 00:11:18,639 --> 00:11:28,279 got slim towards the waist and the chest area, and you could see them 107 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:33,399 the muscles like the six pack on a man. I could see that there 108 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:41,000 was no hair there. And then the most muscular legs, thighs and calves 109 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:48,279 I've ever seen. Seven feet tall. It was coming from the right. 110 00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:54,200 It got to the ditch on the side of the road and jumped. It 111 00:11:54,279 --> 00:12:00,399 was kind of like a gallop to the middle of the road and then off 112 00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:07,559 the road and into the field. The eyes were red and there were like 113 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:15,720 on its knees there were patches where there was no fur, very muscular. 114 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,279 I did have the window crack because I'm a smoker, and there was like 115 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:28,200 a a bad smell. I can't describe it, like rotting meat. If 116 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:35,399 that makes sense, like a skunk, a bad skunk and what else. 117 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:41,360 I did not see a tail, but I thought it was mail, I 118 00:12:41,399 --> 00:12:46,039 don't know why. And the ears were straight up. The ears were like 119 00:12:46,039 --> 00:12:54,879 a German shepherd or wolf, but a huge, huge head things. I 120 00:12:54,879 --> 00:13:01,519 could see the things, and it was looking at the field from coming right 121 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,320 to left. It was like it was looking at the field, and my 122 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,919 thought was it was going for the deer. But when it got in the 123 00:13:07,919 --> 00:13:13,080 middle of the road and it saw my headlights, it turned at me. 124 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:18,799 That's how I knew that the eyes were red, and I didn't know if 125 00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:24,159 that was because of the headlights or if their eyes are red. But the 126 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,559 eyes were red. They were big, and they were red, and the 127 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:33,679 fur was all black. Otherwise, like I said, there was open patch 128 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:39,279 on the chest area and a sixth pack. There were some places, like 129 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,039 on the thighs where it wasn't It wasn't quite as hairy, and I did 130 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:48,759 not see a tail, but that could have been that the tail was on 131 00:13:48,799 --> 00:13:52,600 the other side of the animal as it ran by. I really wasn't looking 132 00:13:52,639 --> 00:13:58,639 for a tail. I just in my first instinct when I saw this thing 133 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,600 on the right side of the road, was fear, I'm not seeing this, 134 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:09,840 this isn't real. That was my first thought was fear. It scared 135 00:14:09,919 --> 00:14:15,759 me. But it was seven feet tall, and like I said, it 136 00:14:15,799 --> 00:14:18,200 bounded from the ditch to the center of the road. To the ditch. 137 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:26,360 It was one to three steps. It was huge and the feet were big, 138 00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:31,840 but they were paused. It was like a dog. The feet were 139 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:39,960 like a dog, but it could go very fast. And that was my 140 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,759 experience. I watched it go part way in the field and then I lost 141 00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:50,559 it because of my headlights. But it was very, very a fearful feeling 142 00:14:50,679 --> 00:14:54,639 for me. At that moment. I had two sleeping children in the back 143 00:14:54,679 --> 00:14:58,159 of my car, and I didn't know what it was going to do. 144 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,559 But it kept going. It just looked at me and kept going. It 145 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:07,440 wasn't interested in me. I've never told anyone about it, and like I 146 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:13,000 said, this was ninety five, so it's been almost thirty years for me. 147 00:15:13,639 --> 00:15:16,320 But I've dwell done it and thought about it. At first, I 148 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,399 wouldn't even go in the woods at night. I refused to drive at night. 149 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,559 I still don't like to drive at night, but I go hiking in 150 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,240 the woods. I don't have a problem with that. I've been to a 151 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:33,480 lask in the woods. I'm good, I'm good. I was meant to 152 00:15:33,519 --> 00:15:37,200 see what I saw. I don't know why, but I was meant to 153 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,759 see it. But my fear was for my children at that moment. Oh, 154 00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:46,519 I'm sure it was. He understandably, so you had your window down, 155 00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:50,360 Not that that would change anything, but you didn't know that, so 156 00:15:50,399 --> 00:15:54,840 it's only naturally you'd be concerned about them. You never did tell your kids 157 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,159 about seeing it, You said, does that bother you? My youngest son 158 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:06,679 knows, so does my middle child. My oldest child doesn't. Yeah, 159 00:16:06,879 --> 00:16:12,960 she doesn't tend to believe in stuff like that, so she knows I've seen 160 00:16:14,039 --> 00:16:17,759 something that she doesn't know what it is. She doesn't want to know, 161 00:16:18,799 --> 00:16:22,519 but my voice, my one does believe me, and one doesn't. Well, 162 00:16:22,559 --> 00:16:26,159 as far as your daughter goes. Sometimes for people, it's best not 163 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,960 to know. That's just how some people are. The thing that I find 164 00:16:32,159 --> 00:16:37,519 interesting about this is five minutes later down the road, you know, when 165 00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:42,080 I'm collecting myself and I calmed down, the northern lights came out. They 166 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,639 were the brightest I've ever seen them. Now, I don't know if that's 167 00:16:45,679 --> 00:16:51,600 a coincidence or why that happened. That that happened right after that incident, 168 00:16:52,279 --> 00:16:56,320 It just I'll never forget that. Well, you never know those two things 169 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:02,240 might be connected. It's hard to say. I don't know, but I 170 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:07,599 found that interesting that that happened like that. I saw what I saw. 171 00:17:07,079 --> 00:17:11,759 I didn't believe I was seeing it. It's like it took my mind a 172 00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:17,640 second to catch up with what my eyes were seeing, because you just you 173 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:22,559 don't want to believe you're seeing it, and you are. And then I 174 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,359 just I kept going and all of a sudden, the northern nights all of 175 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,839 a sudden, and I mean it was a pitch black night, and then 176 00:17:32,039 --> 00:17:34,839 the northern nights were out. So that was I don't know. I don't 177 00:17:34,839 --> 00:17:40,400 know if there's a coincidence or a correlation there, but I found that interesting 178 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:45,319 when I think back on it now. It doesn't happen often, but from 179 00:17:45,319 --> 00:17:48,440 time to time I'll come across an eyewitness who reports something like that. I'll 180 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:53,839 see orbs floating around or some other strange anomaly. Like I said, it 181 00:17:53,839 --> 00:17:57,319 doesn't happen all that often, but it does happen from time to time. 182 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:03,599 It's hard to figure out did it seem to be surprised by you coming along 183 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:08,559 or didn't seem to carry the way. It seems surprised because it did turn 184 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:14,279 its head and look at me, like what are you doing here? But 185 00:18:14,319 --> 00:18:18,240 then it turned back and kept going. I turned it head and it looked 186 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:25,799 directly at me because I could see the K nineteenth. But then it turned 187 00:18:25,799 --> 00:18:30,799 its head back. It was like it was said on getting something to eat, 188 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,319 I thought. I mean, I was trying to picture it, like 189 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,000 how when I raised wolves, what would they do? And that was where 190 00:18:37,039 --> 00:18:42,240 my train of thought went. The first thing that came to me was fear. 191 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:48,240 And I don't know if that's just a natural response or why, because 192 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:55,039 usually when you see something I'll see That's the only time that's ever happened to 193 00:18:55,079 --> 00:19:00,799 me where I've seen something that wild. But that was my thatt reflex was 194 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:07,799 fear. It really was. I was scared. I was very fearful for 195 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,359 my children, for myself. I didn't know if this thing was going to 196 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,720 come through my It was that thing. It could have came right through my 197 00:19:15,799 --> 00:19:21,519 windshield if it wanted. It's good, you understand that. Yeah, how 198 00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:29,119 much do you think it weighed? Oh? God, I bet at least 199 00:19:29,839 --> 00:19:36,000 two fifty three hundred. I don't know two fifty anyway, listening to you 200 00:19:36,039 --> 00:19:41,160 describe it, it definitely doesn't sound fragile. No, it was very muscular, 201 00:19:41,519 --> 00:19:47,839 and that's what I was. My fear was when he turned, if 202 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,400 he came at me, because he was in the middle of the road, 203 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,799 I was going to have to go around him, and was I going to 204 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:59,039 make it around him? But he kept going. It's like, I think 205 00:19:59,079 --> 00:20:04,599 you got you're a wonderful gone, thank you, oh that you're thinking that 206 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,480 I was. How would you compare the way it moved compared to the way 207 00:20:10,519 --> 00:20:17,680 a wolf does, Dixie. It was more of a gallop when he came 208 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,880 from and I saw him jump into the ditch and he galloped to the middle 209 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,000 of the road and then galloped off. It was like a gallop. But 210 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,960 when he got to the middle, he looked up and he turned and looked 211 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:37,160 at me because I think my head light startled him. And he had the 212 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,799 reddest eyes, the reddest eyes, and you could see the on the face. 213 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,000 There were parts that would just skin. There was no hair on some 214 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,319 of that where it was kind of crinkly, you know, like when a 215 00:20:51,319 --> 00:20:56,480 wolf is showing his teeth, you know what I mean when they growl. 216 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:04,519 Oh. Yeah, you could see that that was just there wasn't a whole 217 00:21:04,559 --> 00:21:07,960 lot of fur on top. It was just skin. You could see whiskers 218 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,640 and stuff. But there was black skin, that black pigment. It was 219 00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:19,559 her. Yeah, and then the red eyes. But I mean that the 220 00:21:19,759 --> 00:21:23,839 ears and the top of the head that was all black fur. Down the 221 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:29,799 back of the neck that was all black fur like a wolf, real thick. 222 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,640 You know how they have that tough on the side of their face. 223 00:21:33,799 --> 00:21:40,480 That's what he had. He had that black tough. I call it a 224 00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:45,839 tough. I don't know what it's technically called. But he had that thick 225 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:52,160 black but on the face itself. When he crinkled up his nose, you 226 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,319 could see the flash. You could see the wrinkles. From listening to you 227 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,000 describe how that encounter played out, you definitely got to look at it from 228 00:22:00,039 --> 00:22:04,720 the back. With that in mind, Did you notice anything interesting around its 229 00:22:06,079 --> 00:22:12,039 shoulder area, the back of its neck. It was very furry. There 230 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:17,279 was a lot of fur. I couldn't see a neck that's what. There 231 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:22,599 was like a curvature there, but you couldn't see the neck. It was 232 00:22:22,759 --> 00:22:27,279 like it went from head to shoulders, and the shoulders were broad, and 233 00:22:27,319 --> 00:22:33,039 then it went down thin to the waist and then you could see the hind 234 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,839 corters, the thighs and the hind But I didn't see a tail. I 235 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:45,119 don't remember the tail. It probably had one, but I just I was 236 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:51,599 just in shock. I think I was scared, but I remember it as 237 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:56,359 plain as they I've dreamt about it for years and years and years. Well, 238 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,119 I'm sure you did. And listening to you describe the nape of his 239 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,279 neck and down by his shoulders, I guess you could say, it sounds 240 00:23:03,279 --> 00:23:08,559 to me like you're describing what could be described as a mean Is that how 241 00:23:08,599 --> 00:23:15,200 you would describe it? Yeah, it was. It was just all fur 242 00:23:15,039 --> 00:23:22,440 and you could see there was like a curve there, but you couldn't see 243 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:30,240 the neck. It was just fur, black fur, black hair. And 244 00:23:30,279 --> 00:23:33,759 then it got thinner as it went down. Now the middle of his back 245 00:23:33,839 --> 00:23:41,880 had fur hair or whatever, but it got less towards the middle of his 246 00:23:41,799 --> 00:23:48,319 stomach area, I guess, and then he got more towards the buttocks. 247 00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:52,519 Very muscular. Well, you could see you could see the muscles. You 248 00:23:52,519 --> 00:23:59,440 could see him rippling when he moved, they moved your muscles move. You 249 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,359 could see that it was scary. Yeah, I'm sure it was scary. 250 00:24:04,319 --> 00:24:07,519 Let's talk about its ears now, how tall would you say they were? 251 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:19,960 Oh, my gosh, the ears had to be let me think they were 252 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:30,960 big. I mean, take a normal wolf and double it at least, 253 00:24:32,279 --> 00:24:40,839 and a normal wolf they're like four inches, so they were like, yeah, 254 00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:45,400 I'd say about eight. But they were proportionate to what I was looking 255 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:51,039 at. That was what was so amazing to me was the size was so 256 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:56,079 humongous, but it looked proportionate. You say, they were in proportion to 257 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,920 the size of its head. But did you notice anything unusual about its ears 258 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:07,759 and the interesting features? No, they were pointed that. No, it 259 00:25:07,799 --> 00:25:11,519 looked like a wolf. To me, the ears looked like a wolf. 260 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:18,759 They were hairy inside, they were lighter, the hair was lighter, but 261 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,319 they were black on the outside. They went straight up to a point. 262 00:25:22,279 --> 00:25:26,599 Those were some big ears. You said you could smell it. How close 263 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:33,200 were you to it At the closest point, Dixie, it was two feet 264 00:25:33,279 --> 00:25:37,200 in front of my vehicle. I was in a Chevy Lumina. I had 265 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:44,359 a ninety one Chevy Lumina and this was nineteen ninety five, so yeah, 266 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,319 he was two feet in front of me. I climbed my brakes on. 267 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:53,319 That is close, way too close for comfort. You said, it disappeared 268 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,279 into that tall grass in that field on the one side of the road. 269 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:02,559 But do you think it ever did catch one of the deer personally, yes, 270 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:08,200 I think it did. Something that big, that fast. I don't 271 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:15,200 think a deer would stand a chance. I really don't. I know deer 272 00:26:15,319 --> 00:26:22,200 can be fast, but this thing could go. I've never seen another one. 273 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,799 I never wanted to see another one. I mean, I'm not afraid 274 00:26:25,839 --> 00:26:32,079 to see one now. I live back in Florida now, but if I 275 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,960 saw one, I would I wouldn't be as scared as I was the first 276 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,920 time, I don't think, but my natural it was just an overwhelming sense 277 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:49,200 of fear, it really was. It scared me to see something that big. 278 00:26:49,519 --> 00:26:59,799 And it's hard to explain to people because your eyes are seeing something that 279 00:27:00,279 --> 00:27:04,119 your brain is taking a minute to comprehend it. It's like, you know, 280 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,119 like how you hear how people rub their neck. They see something and 281 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:14,200 they turn their neck real quick because they can't believe they saw that that's how 282 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:19,559 my mind was. It's like, no, this can't be real, but 283 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:25,640 it was. It was a living, breathing creature. It's totally expected you 284 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,519 would respond that way. I mean, after all, your whole life, 285 00:27:27,599 --> 00:27:32,359 you've been programmed to believe that they can't be out there, the things like 286 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,440 sasquatch can't be out there. Well, one day while you have an encounter, 287 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:37,799 you see it with your own two eyes, I guess what they are 288 00:27:37,839 --> 00:27:41,519 out there. Then that just turns your world upside down. You really have 289 00:27:41,559 --> 00:27:45,960 to reevaluate how you look at a lot of things. Yeah, it took 290 00:27:47,039 --> 00:27:52,640 me five years to probably go hiking again. And I still don't like driving 291 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,680 at night, just because of all the animals. I don't like to get 292 00:27:56,759 --> 00:28:03,039 anything. I'm an animal lover. Change. If I don't have to drive 293 00:28:03,079 --> 00:28:07,359 at night, I won't. Somebody else can drive. I don't want to 294 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,200 be the one to do it. But it did change my view. Yes, 295 00:28:11,319 --> 00:28:15,400 there are things out there, and I never would have believed it if 296 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:23,599 I hadn't seen it. But it did change my whole outlook on reality in 297 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:30,119 the world we live in and the things we're told and how we're programmed. 298 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,440 So I make my own assumptions. Now, I don't listen. I try 299 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:40,920 to stay away from the news and I just don't want to hear it. 300 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:47,119 I tend to believe people who see things now because I've been there, I've 301 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:53,359 seen it the real What I saw was a real creature. They call it 302 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,119 a dog man. That's a good term. I would call it wolf man 303 00:28:57,519 --> 00:29:02,640 if it was me, because it looked half wolf and half man to me. 304 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,759 But the height is what got me. I've never seen a wolf that 305 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:14,480 big or a man that big. So is it an ancient creature? Does 306 00:29:14,519 --> 00:29:18,559 it come from another dimension? No? I don't think so, because if 307 00:29:18,559 --> 00:29:23,720 something came from another dimension, would it have to eat? And this thing 308 00:29:23,839 --> 00:29:29,279 was hungry. It was going after pray. I really believe that. Yeah, 309 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,839 it was real. It was a real creature. You saw what you 310 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:37,039 saw, and that's all there is to it. This might seem like a 311 00:29:37,079 --> 00:29:41,559 strange question, Dixie. But of course there are negative things that came along 312 00:29:41,599 --> 00:29:45,039 with it. But can you think of any positive things to stem from me? 313 00:29:45,119 --> 00:29:52,359 Haven't that encounter? The positive things that came out of it are that 314 00:29:55,640 --> 00:30:00,240 I am more open minded, and two of my children are more open mind 315 00:30:00,559 --> 00:30:07,559 about hearing about things. That like the dog Man, the sasquash, the 316 00:30:07,599 --> 00:30:15,119 thunderbird, the lizard Man, things of that nature. They're like, yeah, 317 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:22,240 you know what, UFOs, we can't be the only universe out there 318 00:30:22,279 --> 00:30:26,920 with life on it when you think about it. I mean, there's billions 319 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:34,400 of universes. So the positive is that I've learned to be more open minded. 320 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:42,680 I've learned to stand up for myself because my fear was people would laugh 321 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:48,000 at me and no one would believe me. But I know what I saw 322 00:30:48,839 --> 00:30:52,480 and I'm okay with that. If people don't believe, that's on them. 323 00:30:53,039 --> 00:31:00,240 I know what I saw and I'm okay with it. So I'm more sure 324 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:08,279 of myself now, and I'm more open to things happening in my world and 325 00:31:08,319 --> 00:31:15,880 in my life that maybe are unexpected. But not all fearful things are bad 326 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:23,519 for us. Maybe they're to open our minds, face our fears, and 327 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,400 move on. Well, it goes without saying I'm so glad to hear that 328 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:33,400 you've had some positive takeaways from that experience. That's good. That's a good 329 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,200 thing. Well, it's about time for us to get out of here, 330 00:31:36,279 --> 00:31:38,200 Dixie. But before we do, do you have any closing comments you'd like 331 00:31:38,279 --> 00:31:45,799 to share. My closing comment to people would be, if somebody comes to 332 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:52,000 you and they're serious about something they've seen, be open minded at least listen 333 00:31:52,079 --> 00:31:56,039 to them, whether you believe in it or not. Just be open minded 334 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:04,480 and support them because they're going to need support. It can be very traumatic, 335 00:32:05,319 --> 00:32:09,279 I think for some people. I'm not a really dramatic person, so 336 00:32:09,359 --> 00:32:14,680 I guess I didn't look at it that way. And yes I was fearful, 337 00:32:14,759 --> 00:32:21,960 but and it might have been traumatic at that moment, but I mean 338 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:27,039 I was over and it was good, it was okay. So just be 339 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:32,519 supportive because everybody handles something like that differently, I guess, So just be 340 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:38,000 supportive of people, be open minded. Those would be my closing comments. 341 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:43,720 I wish I could see it again. Be careful what you wish for Kaus. 342 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:49,079 You just might get it someday. People tell me that, some people 343 00:32:49,319 --> 00:32:52,680 even I said, well, I'm hoping I have a camera next time where 344 00:32:53,119 --> 00:32:57,160 But you don't think to pick your phone up? You really don't. You're 345 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:01,440 just so dumbfounded by what you're seeing. Oh of course, Yeah, the 346 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,000 last thing you're going to think about is picking up a phone to take a 347 00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:07,839 picture your mouth is hanging wide open and you're just trying to take it all 348 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:13,279 in. Yeah, but no, then that would be my closing comment. 349 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:20,160 If somebody comes to you as a person out there and tells you they'd have 350 00:33:20,319 --> 00:33:25,319 to be open minded and just be supportive, well that's great advice, Dixie. 351 00:33:25,359 --> 00:33:29,000 I can't thank you enough for coming on and sharing the details of that 352 00:33:29,119 --> 00:33:32,440 experience with this. I really appreciate it. Thank you, thank you for 353 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:37,680 having me on. Wait no, you're welcome. Thanks again so much, 354 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:38,079 and have a great night.
