There hasn’t been much activity here lately. I wanted to provide a place for people who like the radio show mentioned in the title of this post/thread. There already exists a thread critical of the host. The host stays out of the way for the most part and tries to help, so far as I can tell. I don’t think he deserves to be any kind of target among people interested in discussing a strange creature, encounters with which are the subject of his radio show.
Accordingly, this thread I would like to use for people who want to discuss the often captivating and memorable interviews that the host conducts on his show.

Yep. Episode 66. Let me double check. Yep. 66.

Oh man, where to begin? My go-to episode for introducing people to the radio show and dogmen in general is that one episode, nightmare encounter I believe it's called in the most popular videos playlist, where the policeman sees that massive black dogman. That's very believable.
The other one is the lady who was at home with her children and the calf in the field next door gets torn to shreds by three of these dogmen. She was one of the the most believable people I've ever heard, especially the way her voice dropped when she was talking about it, and saying that she "didn't have enough shotgun shells", that was a good one. I can't remember the number of the show though, hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about.
One of the weirder ones is the guy who goes driving through the mountains in the blizzard and the road gets closed behind him, then he finds that abandoned car and the dogman not far after it, before getting scratched on the arm. He caught that dogman eating, but all it did was scratch him, so he got off pretty lightly considering. The episode was episode 52.

Thank you. Any opinions on it, feel free... First, just that the guest’s accent is beautiful, as are many of the guests’ accents who are from the South. His voice had a melancholy to it, too, as if he were exhausted. But he was intelligent, clearly, in spite of his “redneck” roots, apparently working in an Emergency Room. He came a long way from Gramma and the whole family in a pickup truck and the window rolled partway down to shoot at the dogman who kept coming despite their throwing every burnable thing on the bonfire that night, came a long way from his uncles routinely dispatching dogmen and making him touch the corpse of one whose body they’d turned into “hamburger” but hadn’t shot the head so he could examine it. It had claws, he said, that retracted like those of a cat! Toward the end of the episode, the guest spoke about how he has found, just as his uncles had warned him he would, piles of clothes stashed in remote trees, and how this indicated a werewolf, and underground tunnels, and how the dogmen would try to lure women and men away with imitations of a baby crying or of a woman in distress, for breeding purposes! The guest admitted that the werewolf possibility was not something he could verify from his own experience.

Wow, stashing clothes in trees? That's either serial killer logic of hiding evidence of murders, which could suggest sapience in dogmen as a separate species, or stashing their own clothes away for use when "shifting" back, which could lend credence to the lycanthrope possibility. Luring people away for breeding is just too disturbing to even think about. Thanks for posting this here Jeritadamson, had no idea that was in that episode.

Reading your reaction, I seem to have recalled that the clothes were FOLDED!!!

Folded!? Oh my goodness. I mean it's possible that a biped canid with human level intelligence, as they're reported to have it would suggest, could fold clothes, but that's an awfully human thing to do to me. I think if I was a dogman, I wouldn't worry if clothes were folded, just that they were hidden.

Con, I remember the guest on that episode did say the clothes were folded, as though someone was planning to return and retrieve them to be worn again. He also said his uncles believed that Dogmen were shapeshifting humans and that they would leave their clothing carefully folded or hung on branches before the transformation, to be worn again when they returned from their "excursions".

Okay, now I really need to watch that episode! I'll admit, the title of it put me off, but you and Jeritadamson talking about these things folding clothes is just so strange.
There's a lot of strange evidence here about these creatures, but if they can shapeshift like that, seemingly at will unless there's some trigger for it, I would imagine that they retain some sense of themselves, or maybe all of it? That could explain how they're good at not being seen in the towns and suburbs, they probably know the areas so well because they live there!
I was reading the comments of that video and people were talking about how the hunters loaded their shells with "silver dimes". Silver, now that's interesting. I'm not saying it's not true at all, but I find it interesting that the only story where people killed one of these things is with silver.

There are so many!!!

I'm liking the open mindedness on display in this thread.
So we have:
Intelligence levels that seem bizarrely human or to at least display a deep understanding of human culture.
Occasional sightings reported of dogmen wearing clothes.
Circumstantial evidence of strange human behaviour prior to or just following a sighting.
Reports of sounds of extreme anatomical adjustment between bipedal and quadrupedal movement.
A consistent habit of terrifying people but reluctance to follow through and 'leave a scene'
Choice to prey on roadkill and game and avoid detection in other cases.
It goes on and on. And all the above is the tip of the iceberg.
Here's a thought:
Why do some witness describe a Dogman with human legs and a shorter snout and others the typical canine. We are told Type this and type that.
Really? Well how about people usually catch glimpses...and what they are describing depends upon the stage of metamorphosis?

Regarding the episode where the guy went with his uncle(s) when he was a kid. Notice what they loaded into the shotgun shells - dimes if I remember correctly (would be a miracle if they didn't burst the barrel doing that), but let's entertain the thought that they did successfully do that and fire those projectiles into the creature with effect. Here's the food for thought on that bit of information: What is in old dimes? You know the answer, and it has been touted as a bane to this type of creature in lots of lore and mythology. It's why I chose the nickname/handle I did. AG47 Ah, Ag: Of course! Alas, though: I just listened to that portion of the interview, and the guest does not say that the multiple shotguns used by his several uncles for five minutes at close range upon the dogman in the bear trap attached to a spiral stake twisted two feet into the clay earth had been loaded with dimes, does not say (from 16 minutes on) anything about the shotgun shells used.

The guest in episode 66 of Dogman Encounters Radio does say that his uncles were careful in laying the bear traps to plant ornamental shrubs to make the ploughed earth hiding the traps seem to have been ploughed for the purpose of planting these ornamental plants: This further step appears to have been necessary to overcome a human-level of suspicion that might have otherwise alerted the dogman to the traps, that it should know what ornamental plants are and understand that ploughing the earth can take place in order to plant them, and that these ornamental plants must have been the reason for the ploughed earth. After letting the guest, aged 12 at the time in 1992, examine what was left of the corpse, the guest’s uncles then dismembered the dogman and scattered its limbs around to warn other dogmen to stay away from the area, southwestern Tennessee as I recall.

Good grief! You're both on to something I think, the more I read about the cases from third parties (you guys) the more the whole "Boo I'm scary!" thing they do starts to look more and more like an act. It's like up until the point that you see them, they're just going about their business then "Uh oh, looks like a human. Better spook 'em!"

I've seen the dime experiment done several times with a 12ga shotgun.
Truthfully, the load performs horribly. The coins pattern inconsistently due to their flight characteristics and being lightweight (compared to buckshot) only the rare few that hit on edge give any sort of effective penetration.
There is one pretty good video on YouTube of the load being tested against a pig carcass. I'll post the link if I come across it.
