Was a skeptic on the matter , then we had our encounter and I hopes of explaining to myself what had happened I dug into researching the phenomenon and especially the area where we encountered “it” been a regular occurrence since at least the early lumber days of northern MI. In the exact area we had the encounter several teams of loggers refuse to work this particular section because of the “dog man” even for double pay, even with armed company men. Seems they had had several similar encounters as we did- wildlife totally silent, noises Howls growls roars rocks thrown and the thing I’ll never ever forget- this sorta kinda elk bugle but low frequency that made your chest and teeth vibrate. The thing was above us as we were on side hill over looking a valley trying to call in some coyotes. After a few minutes of shock and only being able to see flashes of dark fur through the brush we decided to go back up to the top , to maybe see what this was clearly and more so to keep from being hit by one of the huge rocks being thrown down the hill , to the left and right of our position as if something was saying yep I know exactly where you are , rock after rock to the left and right by a foot or two. So we got up tried to work our way slightly west where the incline wasn’t as steep and rocky/dense with vegetation. And the next rock landed exactly in-front of us and the one after that exactly behind us. Followed by more vocalizations and the breaking of huge tree limbs. When we were pretty sure this thing was gone we got back to the top of the hill, a nice flat hill top with an old orchard and foundations of an old home and barn, the only thing we found was several holes in the ground from where huge rocks had been pulled out and then thrown, not rolled but thrown down the hillside about 40-50 yards. And several large branches of these very old ape trees broken.
flame all you want ; don’t need to be validated or agreed with and sure as fuck don’t need anyone to “explain” to me that it was a bear or some kids playing a prank or an acid flash back. Spend some serious time in the outdoors- hunting working farming hiking camping fishing and have a good deal of knowledge of what animals live in my AO and none of them can throw big rocks or break limbs off trees 7-9 feet up. Absolutely fucking don’t need to be told that what happened didn’t happen and “these things “ don’t exist.
