The Beast of Bray Road by Linda S. Godfrey (the definitive investigative text).
A more aggressive version of the legend exists in this Kentucky/Tennessee border region, involving darker folklore about attacks in the 1980s. 3. Investigation Tips
Usually described as having the head of a wolf but the body of a muscular man. Unlike a typical werewolf, the Dogman is often seen as a stable biological creature rather than a shapeshifter.
In Michigan lore, the creature is said to appear in years ending in "7" (1987, 1997, 2007, etc.), though sightings are now reported annually.
Listen for a "human-like scream" that transitions into a deep bark or howl.
Capable of running on all fours but often sighted standing or walking upright on plantigrade (flat) feet.
