 I was researching several cryptids including the Mothman, Chupacabra, and the Dogman creature of Michigan when I came across the site  North American Dogman Project  which features some very fascinating evidence in favor of the existence of Dogmen. Of particular interest are the  Dogman Cincinnati recording  and this photograph:  This  video  explains the backstory of the picture.

It isn't an obvious fake but it is too blurry to be definitive. Definitely creepy looking and if it is a fake it is an extremely well done one.

It has long been held that the monster is probably a prehistoric aquatic reptile such as a plesiosaur or elasmosaurus.  Though most are skeptical of something surviving millions of years undetected, a new fossil discovery has shown that some plesiosaurs lived in freshwater. A University of Bath team found the fossils of many plesiosaurs from one-hundred million years ago in what is now the Sahara Desert in Africa. Evidence suggests that they lived in freshwater alongside turtles, fish, and even crocodiles. Though the findings make Nessie more plausible the chances of her actually existing are s

 On two occasions I have come into contact with shadow beings or shadow people. Black shadows that have vaguely human form and red bulging eyes.  For unknown reasons, around 2013 I began to have a lot of lucid dreams and out of body experiences. At night as I fell asleep I would have strong hypnogogic imagery. I would see my bedroom and could see and hear the door opening and closing constantly along with other such phenomenon.  The first encounter occurred during an evening nap. As I was waking up I could see my bedroom around me like an obe. A shadow person can up to me extraordinarily fast, almost like a cartoon character. It bent over the bed and stared into my face with its large bright red bulging eyes.  It was quite frightening, I could tell it wasn't an ordinary dream, it was more like an astral projection/obe type experience. Not long after that, I had another encounter with two shadows while sleeping at night. I became awake and lucid in my bed, basically a sleep paralysi

 I'm working on multiple new books and if you have had a paranormal encounter of any sort, whether it is ghosts, cryptids, dogman, shadow people, aliens, demons, or something else, I would love to hear about it and hopefully put it in a new book. I won't give any personal details away that you don't want given away, I can change the name, gender, or anything else and don't have to give a super specific location. To send me your paranormal encounter, email me at csimon968@aol.com I look forward to hearing from you!
