I’m a North Mississippi Dogman Field Investigator - Dogman Encounters Episode 670

Um, I've been in this since I was 13 years old when I saw a episode of Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack on TV.

And it was a, it was a UFO episode and it just, it just captured me.

And, and I just started reading about them and started all these things, um, And it moved from UFOs into cryptids.

And even throughout my senior year of high school and college, I was interviewing UFO eyewitnesses.

And of course, back then, I didn't know a lot about the Bigfoot phenomenon, the Dogman phenomenon.

I just assumed all of that was way off somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, like people think.

And I had no idea that it was as local as it was, that it's everywhere.

And when I found out there were some local people who had seen Dog Man and Bigfoot, all kind of things, it really piqued my interest.

I started investigating and talking to people.

Yeah, when you consider how many cryptid sightings there are in Mississippi, it's like having a bird nest on the ground doing what you do.

So that's perfect.

It really is.

And from what I understand, when you're in the seventh grade, you wrote a book report on Sasquatch.

So you obviously knew about Sasquatch all the way back then.

But how long did it take you to find out about Dogman?

I had heard about Dogman back in the early 2000s.

I never really paid much attention to it.

If you're familiar with the Phantoms and Monsters radio, Lon Strickler, I used to go on that website a lot, and they were always talking about upright canines, mostly in Pennsylvania and Ohio and a few other places, Kentucky.

Never really paid that much attention to it.

I kind of read about it, didn't really care that much.

And I saw the Martin Groves encounter where he was talking about the land between the lakes and what happened to him.

And if anyone listens to this channel and don't know who Martin Groves is, I don't know what to tell you.

But from there, I started talking to people and telling them, you know, people that were asking me about my research and stuff.

And I had a co-worker who knew about that show.

He had watched it, too.
