At at Hey. Everyone, thanks so much for tuning in to this special
midweek episode of Dogman Encounters Radio. There never is any such thing as a
good place to have a dog mean encounter, but there are certain places where,
in my opinion, it's even worse. It makes the encounter even more
traumatic. Is you're gonna hear when you listen to tonight's guest Dana come on
and talk about the two encounters she had. The first one happened in one
of the most vulnerable places an eyewitness can be when they have an encounter,
of course, talking about the fact that she had it when she was lying
in her own bed when she was a little kid. Well, I guess
before we get into that any further, I think the best thing to do
would just be to bring her in here and introduce her. So I'm going
to do that now. Diana, thanks so much for coming on the show.
Hi, Vic, it's great to be here. Well, it's great,
havn't you. Diana, Please give us a brief bio on yourself.
I'm in Mason County, Michigan, and I just moved back a year ago.
It is my homestays, my area where I grew up in and I
was born in this area. At fifty three years old, i was working
for a trucking company and I'm just basically coming back to the area to where
I grew up. Describe yourself as being an impath. When did you come
to the realization that you had that ability? That would have been in twenty
eighteen twenty nineteen, I started visioning things, seeing things, knowing things.
It was really traumatic for me at first because I didn't understand what was going
on. I didn't even know what impath was. But through the years,
I've did a lot of research and I'm still trying to understand myself and these
things that I just happened to know feel since it's normal to me now,
because it's an everyday occurrent's for me. For those of us on the outside
looking in, it's all too easy to think that it would pretty much be
nothing but perks having that ability. But I'm sure there are a lot of
bad things that come along with that as well, aren't there. Yeah,
I keep to myself, I'm a loaner. I just don't let anyone come
around me. It does affect me. I choose to be around more positive
environments than negatives, and I go with my gut feeling anywhere I go or
what any decisions I make. It just it leads my day to day life.
Well, I think it's always a good idea to follow your good instincts,
your good feelings. So of course I'm glad you do that. You
found out about me due to a song from what I understand, what's the
story behind that, Well, so I found about you is I was working
got a call at where I worked as a trucking company, and this they
wanted to do rent a truck. It's an Expedit X or something on Discovery.
I don't know. It's some type of series, paranormal group. I'm
not sure. I've never watched it. Wanted to rent one of our semi
trucks. We gave him an offer, but they did find a truck somewhere
else. But in the meantime, my supervisor asked what it was for,
and they said they were going to do an episode on the Michigan truck driver
encounter right the Manashe National Forest. That happened, and I think it's like
twenty nineteen, maybe twenty seventeen, and they wanted to do the shoot over
there off of us ten Mason County anyway to Baldwin, one of the rest
areas. And after that, I was like, the dog Man encounter is
what it was for that truck driver. That's when I started researching because that's
interested and that's where I found you. And then I started listening to your
episodes every day and every night for two months. Now. Wow, that's
a lot of episodes I have. I've watched a lot to excuse me.
Yeah, sounds like you did. If Expedition Next reached out to you that
way. Did you ever get to meet Josh Keats? I don't know who
I talked on the phone that day, but they never They called back the
next day and said they found a different semi truck to use. So it
was my supervisor who talked to whomever was collecting, you know, the tools
that they needed for the set. Yeah, I'm sure it was just some
producer they spoke with, not Josh, but that would have been pretty cool
to talk with them. Not that after being pulled into the world of Dogmen
the way you were, without ever being asked, without ever asking to be
pulled into it, have you put a lot of research into them? It
sounds like you have listening to as many episodes of the show, where outside
of listening to the episodes, do you try to avoid thinking about them as
much as possible? Actually, I think about them all the time now,
and I think about now my past and situations and occurrences and unexplainable events,
and I started double doubting what I was thinking what happened, And now to
me, it seems more like it was more of a dog man encounter than
anything. And just there's just so many different things that remind me of what
could be a dog man encounter. Listening to all those episodes, as small
as people talking, it just makes more sense what I encountered and what I've
seen and multiple times that it's more likely to be a dog man encounter than
anything else. That it is you. I'm convinced it was. You had
your first encounter, like I've established, when you were small, lying in
your own bed. I can't can you think of a place that would be
worse than that deafn't encounter face to face, that would be worse right in
front of it now. I didn't understand what dog man was back then,
so if I did, I think it would have changed everything. But I
never had answers, and I just had to go off just a hunch.
I mean, there was Bigfoot, but I didn't know, and I didn't
know anyone else of talking anything like that. It was just me on my
own. So it really didn't affect me as much as it does now because
now I'm looking thinking back that I understand now what it was, So I
think that's what protected me back then, not knowing. Yeah, ignorance can
be bliss. Sometimes it's best not to know. So, yeah, there
could definitely be truth to that. You've got a theory about the connection.
Some people have claimed that there is between blood types affecting a person's likelihood of
having dog mean encounters. Please talk us through that. And being that I'm
rich negative, I'm a negative. I can sense other people that are rig
negative around me very easily. Anytime I'm out in public, I can always
pinpoint who they are. Now. Listening to the dog Man Encounter episodes,
just listening to the people involved in the behaviors and all that. I usually
while listening to it, thinking, well, not but to that person is
the arch negative or this person or that person? I say it to myself
when I'm listening to the episodes, and being that I know that through research
a lot of Native Americans are urge negative blood, and being that the dog
man tend to be around Native American land reservations and all that, that makes
me wonder kind of like a correlation. I just I believe there's more of
a correlation because of the the empathic ways, the seeing things differently with RH
negative they have different features and qualities that are stand out differently, and there's
sensories more heightened. If there's just things about there's the lists out there,
if your research about RH negative type blood and what kind of like they call
them gifts, and it just falls into that. And that's why I think
where they're more prone to see paranormal events or sense it. So that's why
if I'm very interesting that I believe that these dog man creatures, I don't
think just anyone can see them. I think there's got to be something.
I just don't think just anyone can see them. Well, you just might
be right about that. You might be right about the blood type playing into
this and having an effect on your likelihood of having an encounter with these guys.
You're far from the first eye witness from the first person. For that
matter, I've heard postulate that idea. So hey, you just might be
right about that. All right, Dana, please tell us about your encounters.
Now, give us every last detail that comes to mind. Okay,
Well, from Mason County, Michigan, I would have to say, just
a couple of miles off of US ten North is where my family's property is.
And this is only twenty minutes away from Lettington, Michigan. There's the
Gate Acres. It's thick wooded area. Our main two houses on the road
growing up, Actually it was the only two houses on the road. My
parents own both of them on the same side. And the road is about
I wan't say, half a mile long, and at the end there's a
cemetery down there. Our property in the fifty eight acres has swamp lands does
have two trucks going through it. It's very woody and always been very creepy
out there. Neighbors are far away. Sometimes in the summertime, on a
nice breezy day, you can hear the neighbor a mile away whistling because this
whistle will carry through the wind. But no, it's country land. My
family owned animals, cows, horses, pigs, rabbits, chickens. They
had different animals I was young, then as we got older, less animals.
We were raised on venison and rabbit too. But yeah, it's been
It's just a lot of farmland around us to cornfields. The lake is across
the road, just right across the road, I'd say all of the three
blocks away, if you want to think of it that way. So there's
our lakes there, and then there's a power line that runs through the center
of right through our whole fifty eight acres too. And what's neat too is
that the lay line that runs through Luttington and goes across Michigan is the same
lay line that runs through our family property too. So it's kind of interesting
that, you know, with the lay lines too, and the paranormal that
caused from that. So what happened is that that was I was young.
I was about twelve years old when then the first encounter happens. It was
a nice day. I was a school in my me and my sister shared
a bedroom, lived in a house that the middle section was two stories,
the west side was the kitchen in the bathroom in the basement of the two
stories, and on the east side of the two stories was a three section
house was huge. Was me and my sister's bedroom that we shared, my
mom and dad's bedroom on the north side, and then the south side would
have been the living room. In the middle two story section as our second
living room that would be facing the north side, and extra bedroom and a
bathroom on the south side. And upstairs there's two bedrooms that were split by
the stairwell. So there, hello, I sure, I am okay,
I'm sorry, I thought I got disconnected. Anyways, So that night,
my parents always listening to the eleven o'clock news. Now, being that me
and my sister, there's fourteen of us. I'm the youngest one. I'm
the baby of the family. I have thirteen other brothers and sisters that a
lot of them are going because I being I'm the youngest, so there is
only a few of us, half of us in the household. At the
time, it was nighttime and me and Chris Wi always stay up, you
know, I always get yelled at it's good to bed. I can hear
the eleven o'clock news. Come on. We only had three channels back then.
My parents were always listening to it. Being that our bedroom is right
next to the living room. We could hear it, and I remember Dad
repeating what was just said on the news that bigfoot was cited Laura Michigan just
by the Macanone Bridge. My Dad repeated and laughed about it, and he's,
no, I know there's a big foot. You always you always believe
in the big foot. So I thought it was interesting. It kind of
like spooky a big foot because Dad always talked about it. Wasn't that spooky
because he did always talk about it. So as we're laying there, I'm
trying to go to bed. My sister fell asleep. I'm laying there and
we had night light. We always had night lights, and all of a
sudden, I'm looking at the wall and then I'm like feeling weird, and
I look up and the window in our bedroom is high up, so like
if I was to walk up to it. I'm about twelve years old.
I walk up to it, my head touches the bottom. I can't see
out of it. So but here I am laying in bed, and our
bed is facing the foot of the bed is right directly there's that window up
high. And as I'm laying there and we got a fan going. While
I slept at the fan, I see this shape coming from the left side,
so it would be the west side approaching the window, a shadow on
it. And it didn't make any sense to me, because well, I
know everyone's sleeping and family does like lait tricks on us. But it didn't
make any sense because our yard light was on the east side and this is
coming from the west. The road was right in front of the house.
And even if the headlights cars were coming down because it was dark out,
it still wouldn't have made sense because the way our bedroom was from the middle
section of the house. It was in about three feet four feet back behind,
and there's a lilac bush that covers in front of that window in our
bedroom and part of my parents' bedroom, so it's like a little cross space
you would have to getn't It just didn't make any sense for a shadow to
be up so high, and the way it eased in, like like it
was seven or nine feet tall, whatever it was. It smoothly started coming
across the window, and I immediately had this horrforic, horrific fear run through
me, the sense of this is not right, this is not right at
all. This can't be somebody messing. I was so terrified. All I
could do was close my eyes. I just I didn't want to see anymore.
And as I'm laying there, I get this weight of this heaviness all
over my body, like something is directly staring at me. And I know
that even as a child, if you get that feeling somebody's looking at you,
you turn around and somebody's look looking at you. Well, this was
that feeling, but so intense it was. It was so intense that I
couldn't even move. I felt like I was paralyzed. I wanted to wake
my sister. I couldn't even move my arm, just those two three inches
over just to wake her. I couldn't move. I was paralyzed. I
was trying to breathe, control my breathing without hyperventilating. The terror was real
and it was so scary. I don't know what happened after that, but
I laid there quite a long time with this horrible feeling. And then the
next thing I knew, my mom's yelling in my sister's name to get up
for school. I don't know what. It just seemed like a snap of
a finger, and it was confusing, right and wake it up. I
don't remember if I talked about it to my sister. I don't know if
Ma'm always makes breakfast, we go to the kitchen table, we sit down.
I don't know if I said anything. All I know is that I
was what was that that window? And as we're waiting for the bus,
we went outside and I had to go walk over into that little crevice there
in the corner behind the lilac bush to the window. And I remember I
reached my hand up and I couldn't even barely touch the bottom of the window.
And I had a been about four two then maybe four to three I
don't know in height, but I and the shape of the head was that
filled the whole window. The window had to have been about see about three
feet this high window. I don't know why it was so Dad built it
so high. I kind of do now. But then I but the whole
face from the part of the it did. It was like bringing a face
over part of the forehead like a cheek. I don't know, it was
like coming over and I closed my eyes. I only showed just a part
coming over, and I know it was a face of some sort. I
didn't see no nose, I didn't see no eyes. It was the shadow.
It was so dark, it was like blacker than black, and so
I didn't see it. And based upon when my dad was talking about the
night before, about the afternoons bigfoot, I automatically thought I can seem bigfoot.
Got on that school bus. I went to school, went in my
class and I announced it to my whole class. And there's like thirty two
of us in our whole class, even graduating class, and I told him
I seen bigfoot. It came to my window last night. And people laughed,
of course, because that was something that was never really talked about.
I didn't bother me and I don't care how much they laughed because I knew
what happened. It was real to me and to me it was bigfoot,
and throughout all high school, even to graduation, even to this day.
I talked to some of my classmates. They remember me talking about bigfoot and
that I've seen it. So that was my first encounter thinking it was a
bigfoot. Now it makes more sense that it's a dog man because of the
other encounters that I had later in life. Lay there, take your time
and please tell us about them. The next encounter would have been when I
when I moved out, I got married, moved out. I was gone
for many years, traveled the world in another country, but I always come
back to Michigan, back to Mason County. I think it had been about
two thousand and see twenty and seventeen is when I moved to the same general
areas in Mason County, but on the other side of US ten, just
about three miles two and a half, three miles away from my parents' house
in a little town called Hall, and I lived on off the first street
and it crossed another road, so I had this big, long yard that
went to a peak where they crossed like a y. Like. The house
is always creepy. I didn't like, really care living there because there's just
just creepy. It's really dark. There was no yard lights. It's just
always really dark out there. And i'd hear tapping ever so often on the
windows. Just very spooky. But one night I went on on the porch
and smoking a cigarette and I hear crunching of leaves like somebody's walking. It's
really dark out there's no more now, and I can hear you know,
crunching through and it like circle. It would go over on the north side,
it would come around to the south side like it was circling, like
actually half a circle around. And I heard that. I heard that numerous
times. Ever so often I go out there on the porch on different nights.
I would keep on here, like somebody's walking out there. I'm thinking
it probably a neighbor or something like that, but I quickly would go in
because I couldn't see it, so do I spook me. But that one
one particular night that I was out there, it was a little different.
I was hearing the crunching again and the walking like a person walking, and
all of a sudden, it was like total silence, like stillness everywhere.
And as I'm looking around, said feeling a weird feeling like I'm certain anxiety,
like something's not right. And as I'm looking at way at the peak
of the yard, which is quite a long ways. It's a big yard
and it kind of goes on the slope inward on both sides. And as
I'm looking, all of a sudden, I see this big mass like a
huge dog. And it was dark out. I had my porch light on,
but it didn't reach that far out there. But when I'm looking at
it's like coming down that little slope off from the road where I just heard
the crunch. It's a little bit prior be for I got silence, and
I thought, was is that hell dog? And I hip and ran inside,
thinking what did I just see? Because it was blacker than black.
It was like i'd seen it, but it was so black. It didn't
make sense to me how I can see it in the darkness, and it
was running on floor. I didn't see it face. I just thinking,
well, it wasn't a bear. It's some type of dog. But it
was too big. I'm thinking, ray, was it seeing a hell dog?
But I wasn't sure. Well, now that I look back, I
think I know what it was. Now. I couldn't stay at that place.
It was too creepy. My plans were the most North Carolina with my
kids, and my daughter didn't graduate and she left and got married, and
so my son goes to this is his father in New Hampshire, and my
brother has the parents house. He's renovating, and I started talking to him
again because you know, I never really had a close relationship, but I
was really excited that we were actually starting to talk again, and I started
helping him renovate, and it was great because he was teaching me how to
do things and all that, you know, the gut place out and then
the fresh walls up, installation, all that. It was. It was
great bonding time with me and my brother. But the thing was is that
I couldn't like sing at the house by myself because I was alone now,
so he let me stay there at the parents' house and things started happening,
odd things like the happy windows that between two and four o'clock in the morning.
I had a previous relationship that wasn't going so well, and I didn't
know if they knew I was there and was messing with me. I didn't
know. Later on I found out that wasn't the case, but just the
tapping was horrible. Animals did come around there, a lot of them.
The deer were everywhere, with so many deer around there, and they would
start conjugating in the front lawn. I don't know why. The wild turkeys
had a possibly try to come in the door just constantly. All these animals
had to understand what was happening at that time. The deer I would just
be standing in the kitchen and looking out, and there would be like hanging
out in the front yard. I didn't understand why, but I know that
as I was staying there, I started getting these weird feelings. I'm starting
to remember things from the past growing up there. I'd remembering two eyes,
these eyes looking at me through the windows, and I started getting those feelings
again. I started putting curtains up because I would get that weight feeling of
something staring at me. That window that was in the bedroom is gone now,
and my brother had switched the inside the house around, so now that's
the living room so you can look out to the road. The still that
same area still bothers me, and I'd still feel a weight of something looking
in all the windows. It just got to a point where it was weird.
Stuff was had. The time was starting to pause. When I go
outside, it would make me run back into the house. Noises, the
banging, the tapping started with just a couple of taps, then I went
to a few. Then there was a particular night where I was in living
room and by myself, and it was like three cinder blocks being thrown upstairs.
Boom, boom, boom like you can feel it even filled to my
bones, and it really startled me. Of course, I had to leave
immediately because it scared me so much, and I jumped in the car.
But when I walked out of the house, everything was still. It was
that stillness, that silence, like nothing was moving. And I get in
the car and I take off. Well, now that I think about it,
that reminded me of back when me and my sister shared the bedroom.
I remember a time where mom and Dad were out and in Crystal's bedtime to
school night, and my brother was watching us that night, and and my
sister were in the bedroom. As we're trying to go to bed, we're
giggling talking. All of a sudden, there's this two big bangs, like
boom boom. It almost felt like it was inside the room. We started
screaming. My brother comes running down the stairs through the middle room into our
bedroom and just starts swinging. He ended up swinging and hitting my sister's donkey
coat hanger thing and he broke it, unfortunately, but he beat up pretty
good. But that bang inside it was like it was inside the room.
Now, listening to the other encounters, the big banging I don't know what
episodes they are, but the one more that hitting outside the house and it
would shake the house big booms, and they would go out there and try
to mimic it afterwards, and it doesn't even come close to the extent of
how hard and how loud and how the vibration and how you seal it,
and it's not even close. These big booms are similar to what it sounds
like is happening to the other episodes and how people come across the stillness.
I don't know, but it just makes more sense to me. My dad
always kept rifles by the door. My dad always come in before it got
dark. We always kept our dog on a chain for like twelve thirteen years.
People thought it was cruel. I'm thinking differently now because we lost a
lot of dogs through the years, and I'm wondering. Dad always said he
and it was down the hill from the houses to warn us as anything's coming
in the yard. Now I'm thinking, I think my dad knew more than
I think. My dad shared a lot. He's fortunately he passed in nineteen
ninety nine, so I can't ask any of his questions, But I think
he knew something. He walked that property almost every day. He always take
the dog off before after he goes to work. But this is how we
always had the rifles by the door. The windows that he built on the
edition, they were higher up. I don't know. And he always talked
about when you talk about Bigfoot, and how any type of animal that lives
on the ground has a strong scent. And people are known to talk about
Bigfoot having a strong scent, people are not talk about dog men having a
strong scent. Makes me wonder and think if they burrow into the ground,
just like Bigfoot, how my dad would explain it. Now, my brother
he had a encounter of some sort. No, he didn't know what it
was, but now what I know now and listening to all these episodes,
he was out in the woods. All I know is that we're in the
house. All of a sudden, my brother comes running in screaming and crying.
And this is a person who doesn't cry, and he's a daredevil.
I mean, that's just not him. But he comes running through the door,
busting through the door, screaming and crying. Something's chasing me, something's
chasing me. And he has like white blonde hair. But at that time,
it was covered in blood. He had he had He said he hit
his head, possibly on a branch. What happened was is he was out
in the woods. Once he got settled down and Mom's got a towel on
his head. He says, he was out in the woods, it's dark
out. He hears this like, I don't know, like noise, like
a and he turns around and he looks up and there's something towering over him,
looking down at him, and he couldn't tell but he could see the
eyes and he took off running and I don't know how deep he was in
the woods on the fifty eight acres at the time. He said he must
have hit hisself a branch on it with his head, but he had a
nice gash and Mom had to, you know, put a lot of pressure
on there for a while there to get to stop bleeding. And then he
just basically just brushed it off as you know, deer and root or something
like that. But the terror in his eyes and how scared he was had
never to this stace see my brother that scared, So that makes me wonder
about that. Also, one of my older sisters, she wanted to go
visit her friends, and no one wanted to take her, and she can't.
They couldn't come to pick her up. And back then we walked anyways
and rode her bikes, but it was dark out. She wanted to go
see her friend and they're like, all right, you're gonna have to go.
Then you're gonna have to walk, and she hesitated, but she wanted
to go that back. She went out the door, and as she went
out the door, she got to the end of the yard and she comes
burling back and busting through that door, screaming and crying. She's yelling at
there's something in the lilac bushes, moaning at her. She never went out
after dark again after that, and we've always known that our lilac bushes moan
and again, I think it was more than just I think it might have
been something else. Those are some of the encounters that I do recall.
There is other paranormal things that is, you know, just another story,
many paranormal stories, but those are the ones that I have that I've surfaced
so far. All it takes is one of these episodes to start triggering another
memoris or a thought or I mean, there's been things like when I went
to Georgia Guidestones on March twenty second, during this anniversary twenty twenty two.
There was a pasture there. Actually, he was an author and a pastor,
and I got a book from him too. He wanted to do a
prayer. I told him I traveled a lot because of the traumatic stuff that
happened at the parents' house when I was there those eight months, I pretty
mess It messed me up quite a bit, and I was on the road
for three years trying to figure out what I all experienced and try to make
sense of it. So I stayed away from everyone and stayed to myself.
But one of my steps was at the George Geistone's and in the pastor,
I told him that a little bit about the parents' house and the paranormal stuff
I encountered, and you want to pray for me. There was another couple
there too that wanted to join in and did a circle. And I was
praying. This horrific ratted meat smell blew across all our noses. I call
it a maggot smell, garbage smell. It was really strong and it quickly
blew across While he was making his prayer. Now, mind you Georgia Guystones,
there's cattle around there, it's woodsy on the outskirts of it. It's
out in the country. And the Georgia Guystones. Of course, it's in
Georgia, and that's what Alberton, Georgia. I've been there like four times.
But that smell, now, that smell I knew. I smelt it
many times that I have not yet surfaced when because it's like I can't remember
a lot of things as a child from all the trauma growing up. I
haven't opened those doors yet. But I know that smell, and I know
it's a bad, bad smell. And there was no garbage around us there.
We met the Georgia Guystones, and then after we got done pray and
I looked at the passion I go, did you smell that? He's like,
yeah, what was that? I go, I didn't like your praying,
and that couple the simo. That couple started crying and walked off and
they both left immediately and quickly. So that was another interesting encounter that made
me think of passively doggening surrounding. You've been surrounded by a lot of encounters
over the years. Unfortunately. Yeah, I still trying to put it all
together. I didn't even think of any of that stuff until twenty eighteen,
twenty nineteen, when things started changing and I started to understand things, feeling
things and putting things together. Because I was more about always partying, always
doing my makeup and my hair, having fun, just laughing and all that.
I didn't boo off everything. I didn't pay attention to it. I
never looked into it. I didn't do the research. I didn't care about
that kind of stuff. I didn't want to believe it. But when stuff
was thrown at me, like really strong, twenty eighteen twenty nineteen was rough
on me. It changed my whole outlook of life and just so much.
And I'm still continuing to get you know, encounters, you know, like
paranormal encounters and stuff like. But I'm more apt to just go with it.
And just because I've had so many, I just I don't panic anymore.
I just still kind. I see what's happening. It just calmed me
down, but I still stay to myself. I do a lot in community.
I do try to share my stories to people. I try to test
the people to see how they feel about it, and if I can feel
that they're gonna be interested. I'll start talking more. And I like the
feedback I get from them, because I found out just a couple of weeks
ago one of my friend's nieces she lived in the area where my parents' houses.
She has very bad feeling because that place is something wrong with it.
There's something that right there. Another friend of mine, she can't even go
down that road all those years, all these years. I because I talked
to her in twenty twenty twenty one, I think it was and she would
tell me when she used to live at the end of the world by that
cemetery, that that's the shoe about said her. Lasting my family's property creeps
her out. And this is not just her. There's a lot of other
parents community that feel that weirdness around my family's property. I mean there's been
a witness is seen UFOs going in and out. I've personally seen it,
my sister, had, my brother, my father, neighbor. I mean,
I'm collecting still people, different people who don't even talk to have seen
sightings UFO sightings. Let alone. I don't know that they've seen any dog
man encounters. That's why I thought it's so important for me to come on
tonight, VIC is because when I listen to our episodes, I mean Lake
County, Oceania County, Manistee County, I mean this is all surrounding all
the counties I've listened to on some of your episodes, I've not found one
with Mason County yet, and that's all surrounding us. And we've got the
Manistee National Force all around us too, US ten goals right through us.
It's last week when you contacted me. I reached out to two people only,
and one person is my neighbor. His uncle had a dog man encounter
where it was running next to him in his vehicle. I've reached out to
him. He has a reply back, hopefully he will. Then. The
other one was just a friend that I know who lives out there, and
I called her, well, actually messages saying have you ever had any dog
man encounters or know of anyone? She goes yes, and yes, she's
out of town right now, so she hasn't been able to share him with
me. But my goal is to try to get them to reach out to
you. I'm hoping that this episode will reach out to a lot of people
in Mason County and get them sharing and acknowledging that this phenomenon, whatever it
is, it's always been here. You know, it's real, and I
know that once one person starts talking, more people will start talking. You
just people are so scared just to be the first person. So I'm hoping
that this is what's going to help Mason County, you know, acknowledge the
fact that the dog men are here, and that people will step forward and
share their encounters, and then that with these people who are carrying this horrible
secret or fear, can find a resolution to it or some peace to it.
And that's because just talking to you, it's helped me so much that
I have to stop listening to the episodes for a few days, just because
I felt heard and alone, and it's great talking to someone who actually believes
you. I tell people about it. I'm not shy about it. I
even bought a few of your the hoodie and a couple of your shirts while
get one shirt here and another one on his way. I wear it out
now just so I can use it as a conversation piece to make people aware
of hoping that one person will come up to me and say, do you
believe in that. Yeah, and then maybe they'll come to me and start
talking to me, so that way I can direct them to you. That's
my goal is to make more of awareness here in Mason County. Well,
thanks for supporting the show, and yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if more
people than you'd expect contact you and what you know about the encounters that they've
had when they see wearing the shirts around like that? Well, I'm sure
more people in Mason County have had encounters with these guys and you'd ever believe.
And I know you already know about a few of them who have told
you about their encounters here recently, but I'll bet you're just getting started.
I'll bet you won't believe. And maybe a year's time how many people have
come out of the woodwork to let you know about their experiences. I could
be wrong about that, but I guess time will tell. I do have
another one i'd like to share. Sure, So I've got this friend and
he's south of Scottville. His family they have I don't know, one hundred
acres. I don't know if I'm over exaggerating, but I think it is
like one hundred acres and they have cornfields, they have streams that go through
there. You can hear the coyotes at night. I used to stay out
there. Of course, there's Native American land around there. I'm trying to
think of the five things that are known for a dog man area to be
more prominent. But I've been talking to him lately about the dog men and
anything. Have you had anything out there? I mean, it's the perfect
spot. It's just a perfect spot for it all. And he finally he
told me, he goes, wow. I don't want to get all excited,
but he explained to me in a situation one time where he was out
hunting. It was like dusk and you know, dark out, and as
he's sitting there in his hunting stand, he hears this crunching over by the
swampy area, like biting through bones, like lots of bones. And it
was, how he says it, it was loud enough it got his attention.
Well, of course, he went back in that night. But the
next day he grabbed a friend because it bothered him, and he went back
out and his friend because it was just it was so loud it bothered him.
He had to try to figure out what that noise was because it was
not normal and it was really loud. He never found anything but just the
loud crunching in itself that was very peculiar. And he's lived there his whole
life growing up, but this was something that wasn't normal, and I wanted
to share that too, that I collected that story South of Staff though.
This was you've really been collecting the stories? Yes, yeah, I'd say,
yeah, well, I'll tell you what. Let's jump to the first
question from a listener, and that questions from Kevin Tapaha. Kevin was actually
featured on episode three fifty where he talked about a really traumatic dog mean encounter
he had. If you haven't listened to episode three point fifty yet, I
highly recommend you listen to it because, Okay, yeah, that was awfully
intense what he I had to go through unfortunately, but nonetheless, Kevin wants
to know do you feel like your encounter will likely ever happen again in the
future. Unfortunately, be in the path that I'm already in. I think
I think it will continue, and I think I don't want to, but
I can't stop thinking that I'm going to have an encounter where I literally see
a dog man it's that's what this is coming to. It's happened with me
with another cryptid. There is years of the moth Man. For instance,
I did see the moth Man. That was March twenty second, twenty twenty.
Yeah, that was during the COVID thing. That's another story though.
But I felt it. I felt it for years that I will encounter and
I did. This is the same feeling. It's like everything that's happening is
happening for a reason. And my job I get the call, didn't know
about dog Man, and then now doing you know, research, and I
Dumbman and counter radio and then that was triggering my path memories and I'm collect
connecting dots and now I'm going out and I'm reaching out to other people to
define more information. Unfortunately, I think that's I don't want to. I
don't want to, but I just didn't. I just feel that it's going
to happen. Yes, I think I will continue, It'll get stronger.
I think this is all for a reason. Well, you've already had two
experiences, and other family members have had their own, so unfortunately, I
wouldn't be surprised if you do have other encounters. Hopefully, if you do
have them. They're not traumatic, but I guess time will tell. The
next one is from from Shaman sham In from she and and Umanezer, and
her question is with the first encounter, she thought it was a big foot,
then she heard stories about dog men. What made her change her mind
to think it was actually a dog man? What made me change my mind
is the feeling I got from when I was laying in bed in the fear.
The fear. Now, I haven't listened to any bigfoot encounters. I
just here and there here that it's more peaceful, But this it's the evilness,
the darkness, the like. It was really a horrible feeling. And
when I listen to other episodes, I hear this like horrible feeling that comes
over them, this terror, this feeling, And that's what matches how I
felt. I couldn't move, I like I turned the stone. I this
is the feeling. It's so hard to explain how terrified I was. And
I'm thinking, what chances my dad sees on TV it's a bigfoot and then
what comes to my window? That was kind of silly, but in the
end it did happen that I don't think it was bigfoot because then the hell
dog and then the stillness, and there's more that Now what's going on with
my brother than my sister, And there's there's other stories out there that it's
just too much to share. It's more of an evil type feeling. And
I know that smell, that smell of ratted garbage. I call it maggot
smell carcass. That smells too familiar. But I haven't unlocked those memories yet.
I don't know, but I know that smell and it's always terrifying when
you smell it. Yes, not a smell was going to give you the
warm and fuzzies, definitely. This next one up is from Glenn Kamata,
and Glenn wants to know what color were the eyes. Oh, I never
seen any eyes. I seen the shape of something coming to the window that
seven to nine feet tall fill in the window. I did not even want
to see. I close my eyes once I seen it was moving. The
way it was moving, something was good to be coming. Look in the
window. Now. When I seen what I thought was a hell dog,
there was no eyes then either. But but I have reoccurring dreams as a
child when I looked at the parents' house of eyes looking at me. Eyes
were always looking at me in the windows, eyes were looking at me,
holes in the floor. There's this this dream that keeps coming with his eyes.
Ever where every room I went, there was two eyes looking at me.
When I returned back to the parents' house in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen,
Mind you, I left there in nineteen ninety, so I was gone
for quite several years. Well, for a long time. Those dreams came
back to me when I came back to that house. The eyes, the
eyes were staring at me, they were looking at me in the windows.
It felt like I just the dream would come back. But I never seen
them that I recall, though, not with those two episodes encounters. But
I don't know what I've blacked that I always had this fear of two eyes.
What color were the eyes in your dreams? I don't remember. Oh,
that's all right, I don't remember, no problem. That's okay,
No, bikie. It gives me goosebumps. Just gives me goosebumps. You're
just asking, Oh, I'm sure it does. Yeah, sorry to do
that, Tia. I've got another one for you from Penelope, and Penelope
wants to know, Dana, how do you keep yourself mentally safe day and
day out since this happened. I went on the road alone and stayed away
from everyone. I learned to meditate, I learned to detax. I don't
stay around heavy crowds. I do research to try to help me through it,
knowing then I'm not the only one out there with these paranormal events.
There's a lot of research, a lot of finding me, a lot of
just doing good deeds. I stay away from negativity as much as I can
drama. Anyone that I know in the path, I try to keep away
from those of If there's any problems, it's just finding a safe place,
and I don't want knowing. In my apartment, I've only had maybe three
This is in the last year. In my apartment, I stay to myself.
I don't even like in an elevator with one of my tenants. Yeah,
I'm in a four story very particular who I allow near me because I
can sense it. But I'm okay with that. If they got a problem,
that's their own problem. It doesn't bother me. It's just I'm not
going to please them. I'm just like, no, I'll wait to get
an elevator and they make their comment. I'm like, hey, never mind,
you know, don't be like that. I don't get upset. I
don't let other people invade my my positivity, you know, my aura on
my face. I very strong at protecting myself. Live your own life.
That's good. That's a good way to live your life and to handle things.
This next one is from Haunted Doll, and they want to know.
I think they're talking and asking about the hell hound that you later on started
to believe was a dog man. And I agree with you pretty sure it
was a dog man. But their question is how tall do you think the
dog man was? And what about the color of its fur? Black dog
man? Does it look like a hyena? Beer or wolf? When I've
seen it coming down the slope, I didn't really see the shape of I
didn't see it seemed like the top of it had the broad shoulders, you
know. Just it came quick as it was blacker than black, so it
was like a shadow on top of darkness, and it was just coming down
and I just turned around and went inside. I didn't take the moment so
well. I did for a second thinking is that a dog that's too big?
To be a dog. It's not a bear, you know, with
a few seconds of thoughts on man, But I just nope and went inside,
thinking I don't know what that was. If my mind was playing tricks
on me. But everything was silent. I didn't hear no, no,
there was nothing I can't tell. I know it wasn't a bear. I
just know it wasn't the way it moved. I just didn't know about dog
men. I just called the hell dog because it's a dog and it was.
It looked scary and it was big and it wasn't normal. And that's
how I can correlate it. Well, no one can fault you for thinking
it was a hell hound because it just might have been. But listening to
you describe it and everything, I'm pretty sure it was a dog man instead.
But yeah, I could be wrong. This next one is from Glenn
Kamada, and Glenn wants to know did a stand up on two legs?
And how tall would you say it was? Now we were talking about that
hell dog dog man thing that came in the yard. It just was sorry
about that. It was just getting ready to come down the slope. I
didn't stand I didn't anything like that. I heard the crunching out in the
woods, but I couldn't see nothing. I can hear like two steps walking
and then here's this thing running down. So I don't know if the two
steps out there was something else or if it was the same thing, because
I heard the crunch and then it went to the silence and here's the thing
running down the hill, but there was no noise. It didn't make any
noise when it was coming down the slope. Yeah, sometimes I moved silently
like that, so it happens. This next one is from Angel Ruiz,
and Angel wants to know, did you feel a psychic slash mental presence?
Yes, Angel, I did I feel? You feel it? You feel
like something's entering your space, its heaviness, is I can feel it?
Then? Yes, definitely, most definitely. But I was new and I
didn't know what was going on with me then. But it was my sensory
that triggered me to look over in that direction because I felt something was coming.
But like I said, I was very new. I didn't understand things
back then, and a lot of things were happening to me that didn't make
sense to me. And but yes, Angel, I did feel I felt
it before I see them. This next one is also for that second encounter.
I'm pretty sure Glenn Kamada wants to new did you ever notice the tale
that I never paid attention to anything like that. I just remember the like
top of the head, the way it was coming on the slope, the
shoulders, and then it's back end. It was just it was quick.
There was no tail that I seen wave in, or if there would have
been, would have been topped. I don't know, but I didn't see
anything like that. It was like burrowing down real fast, like it was
on its way to come and get me. Not a good feeling at all,
obviously. This next one is from Glenn Kimada, and his question was
answered early on when you talked about your first encounter. But his question,
nonetheless is was there a feeling of dread in any of your encounters? Of
course, you did mention in your first encounter when you were chroniclely it that
you did feel this ominous sense of dread, But what about when you had
that second encounter. There was a lot of other paranormal things happening at that
time that was very confusing where I didn't know it wasn't the first time around
was the worst. When that thing was burrowing down like that, I was
still second guess in my mind because there's so much other things happening around me
that was already traumatized, traumatizing me too. For instance, this is this
is another thing that was happening. I would have a big cry out of
the blue in the day, and within two weeks a person would die,
the person that I would tell that I had this big cry. I don't
know why I want, I don't know why I have to tell you this,
but I have to tell you that I had a big cry today and
I'm supposed to tell you this, and it's usually the person I told.
Within two weeks, it's that person and myself would know that person who dies,
and it would be somebody close to the person that I said it to.
It was. It happened like the seven people within two years. It
was. It was getting It was very creepy for me. Wow, that
is creepy. That's pretty ominous. I've got another one for you from Beverly
Jagger, and Beverly wants to know have you thought of putting crosses up through
the house for protection in the place that I'm in right now Uh no,
No, I did read. I have read the Bible of ninety percent of
the way through it. But no, I have other things. I'm more
of a natural type person with them, which I just don't want to discuss,
you know, the rocks and the crystals and stuff like that. And
I do have my Bibles here that are eighteen ninety two. I got a
couple of them that old, but no I have other day core. Wow,
those are old Bibles. Yes, there, yeah, they can have
been easy to get. This next one up is from Nico Diaz, and
Nico wants to know we can suppress memories when they are too traumatic. But
do you think dogmen have the ability to suppress our experiences with them? Yes?
Yes, I think there's things that happened in my childhood because I used
to go out in the woods all the time and I used to always go
by my favorite tree and hide behind it when parents would be fighting. And
there's just a lot of chaots going up with that man siblings too, and
all I think. I think sometimes also they will allow you to keep the
memory though suppressing from you, kind of like when I see them a man.
It's very interesting because I understand why Why didn't I take a picture?
Why? I know why I didn't take a picture because when I was driving
and I'm looking up in the sky and the sun's just starting to come up,
I'm seeing this in fly and I'm just swing, what is that?
You got to be kidding me. This can't be the mock Man. And
I'm watching it until I couldn't see no more because at the top of my
car hood, I was so in awe that I didn't think about grab money
camera because it just mesmerizes you. But what happened was my memory was taken
for a few months because when I then thinking what the heck did I know,
just see the moth man and then the semi in front of me because
I was on Interstate going to Gary, Illinois. Actually the semi, I've
seen a deer on the left come running down and the headlights. It ran
in front of that semi and hit it, and it was like blood spluted
everywhere, like a Fourth of July fireworks, and it comes splatt in my
way and I could smell the blood. The fur was in my radiator.
And then I get to the terminal because I was at my CDLAS get another
trainer. Oh, no, I forgot about it for three months that I
seen the moth man like, but there was something that triggered three months down
the road at my Darter's house. It triggered and that's when I remember.
How could you remember not remember something so traumatizing it happened. It was like
it took my memory. But since somehow I got it back. The human
mind's awfully hard to understand. It can do some strange things. No doubting
that. It looks like Paula E. Fields has the next one. Paul
wants to know has a guest had any angelic or demonic experiences with the dog
Man stuff? You kind of cut out there, could repeat that, please,
I sure can. Paula E. Fields wants to know if you've ever
had any angelic or demonic experiences with the dog man stuff. Demonic experiences,
yes, many, many many. I don't know if dog Man was is
part of it. I would say yes, because when all that bad stuff
was happened to me at the parents' house twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, I
even had a pasture come up there and because I got so scared. There's
a lot of things which are another story, and I believe it's demonic.
I really do, and I think that they correlate together. I don't think
they're friendly. I think they're I don't think they're really They appear when they
want to, a frequency, a timeline. I don't know what it is.
I think they're all there all the time, but it depends on who
can see them and who's allowed to see them, or who taps into that
frequency to see them. I don't know, but it is. It's this
negative feeling. It's not no happy feeling. So yes, it's I think
I believe they're demonic. I can understand you feeling that way because in a
lot of ways it does seem like only certain people can see them, So
yeah, there might be something to that. Beverly Jagger has another question for
you, Diana. She wants to know, did you ever feel like you
were ever threatened in any way? Yes, most definitely the banging, I
mean the three bangings. I was the only one at the house there at
the parents' house, so I'm like three cinderblocks being thrown upstairs like it was
in the house. I'm trying to keep more on the dog man path because
there's a lot of other paranormal things that's happened to me. So I'm just
trying to keep with the dog man's stuff. And then when I walked outside
after I heard the three big bangs, the stillness, the you know,
I call it my voices in front of my mouth when I hold my hand
up front of my mouth and talk, how it sounds and closed. That's
how it feels. And I noticed it during full moon one of the times
that I went outside another time where everything was still, no noise, everything
is like not moving. I even had somebody over there at that time to
witness that. It scared them. They left. They left quickly. I
was like, see, look there's something going on here, you know,
because it was like everything fro was like you're in a snow globe. You're
like in it. It's very weird feeling. And I've had many times that's
happened to me, and now I just think that I'm tapping into something.
And mind you, the parents' house runs on the lay line, and a
power line that runs over the lay line. It's a major power line.
Sw it's the taller ones. As the research where I found that a lot
of times those major power lines do run on lay lines for some reason or
another. You know the cemetery at the end of the road. It's only
like a half a mile the road is. That's creepy enough right there.
The center part of the house is over one hundred years old. There's multiple
paranormal stories from my siblings from that, which is other than it's not dog
Man, it's other things too, But yeah, it's a different place.
I'd say it must be. I've got one last question for you, Dana
from Harvest Mary Moon and Mary's question is do you think that people who are
impaths are magnets to this stuff? Absolutely? I believe that. I believe
the impath I believe rh negatives. We got a stigmatism to our eyes,
so we bend. That's why we're able to see more paranormal encounters. Something
about the eyes, the stigmatisms. I believe that. I don't think I've
ever spoken with an impath who hasn't had a bunch of experiences with the peer
of normal. So there must be something to that. Yeah, there must
be. Well, before we get out of here, Dana, do you
have any close in comments you'd like to share. I do want to share
a lot of us. Do Talking to you really has made a difference to
be, you know, talk to someone who believes you. It's huge,
it's an honor, and I believe just with interacting with you, I'm able
to now have a place where people Mason County now has the place actually to
come to if they want to share anonymously or if they want to be open
about it, because I know that there's much more going on in this community
and in this county all over. There's too many weird stuff that's happened around
here, and I think, and some people say it's cursed, Mason County's
cursed. I'm hoping this will change things. I'm hoping this will surface so
much and bring peace to so many people. That's my goal. That's my
goal being on here. First episode I heard, I was like, man,
that'd be great to be on one of the episodes. You know.
It took me two months from the first time I listened to to now,
so I'm very ecstatic that I can be a part of this Encounter community.
For god Man, well, we're so happy to have you as a part
of it. Yeah. Please remember you're never going to be alone in this
every again. So if sometime down the road. You do need help again,
please do you reach out to me let me know, And if you
do that, of course we're going to schedule another phone conversation so I can
find out what's yealing you in. We'll get to the bottom of it.
Okay, that'd be great. Thank you so much. Oh, you're welcome.
Yeah, that's what I'm here for. But having said that, yeah,
thanks again so much for coming on and sharing the details of these experiences
with us. I really appreciate it. Thank you, you're welcome. Thanks
again for your time, and have a great night you too. Thanks,
We'll see yuh all right, bye bye. And for everyone listening, thanks
again so much for listening to the show. For supporting these eyewitnesses. Like
I've said several times before, you're never going to be able to appreciate how
much of a difference you make. It makes a huge difference when these eyewitnesses
can see all the support pouring in from you from all around the world,
So of course I can't thank you enough. Also, if you've had a
dog mein encounter of your own that you'd like to speak with me about in
private, or if you like to come on the show and share it,
with the listeners. It's really easy to do that to set that up,
if you just go to dogmanencounters dot com submit a report. Then yeah,
I'll contact you and schedule a phone conversation with you. But having said that,
thanks again so much for listening in. Have a great night.
