Holy shit, Wikipedia finally has dark mode!
I swear I saw the dogman one time. Of course, nobody except for one friend believes me. People think I’m nuts when I tell this story.
It was around 2012, and I had finally left after visiting some friends by Ann Arbor for a few weeks. I love the west coast of Michigan and the UP, so I figured I’d head out there a while and maybe go to Sleeping Bear before heading north and back to Wisconsin.
I was in one of the coastal towns there. Not sure which… I don’t think Pentwater or Muskegon. Could be Holland or Ludington? It was after dark and I was a little sleepy. I was driving west and kind of lurched to a stop at a 4 way sign… looked up, there was a cop to my right. Great. I decided to take evasive action and turned north, then east into some neighborhood. I ended up turning north to continue that way and then had to head west back to the main road because there was a river.
I got back to the main road and turned north by some small shops with streetlights. The shops were to my right and to the left, there was a grassy hill leading up towards forest. I saw some sort of animal out of the corner of my eye - looked large and brown, and I thought cool, I’m about to see a badger or a woodchuck or something. But it moved veeeery quickly, and oddly, and looked rather large. I was just, huh, wtf is that? It sort of moved like a human but was low to the ground. So, intrigued, I watched in my rear view after passing. It walked up to the side of the road, and no shit, seriously, it stood up, looking like a humanoid about 5-6 feet tall, hunched over in a gorilla pose with arms hanging down, and then it ran across the road. I was just uh, holy shit.
I had been planning on stopping and sleeping in my car in the woods somewhere, but after that, no fuckin way. I drove for over 2 hours north to somewhere like Leland or Suttons Bay to get the hell out of there.
