The Joe Barger Encounter

September 14, 2026 · 31 min

Show notes

Of the many cryptids said to inhabit the North American continent, few have featured in as many reported encounters as Michigan’s infamous Dogman. For well over a century, witnesses across the state have described remarkably similar encounters with a large, werewolf-like creature, often recounting its appearance in striking detail. Yet despite the consistency of these reports, the true nature and origins of the entity remain a mystery. However, in 2017, a disturbing incident occurred which appeared to suggest an entirely new possibility regarding where these creatures might come from.
