Michigan Dogman — Wexford County (Original Sighting)

Site of the first documented Michigan Dogman sighting in 1887. Two lumberjacks encountered a creature with a man's body and a dog's head. Described as seven feet tall, bipedal, blue or amber-eyed, with a fearsome howl that sounds like a human scream. The creature is tied to Odawa tribal legends along the Manistee River. Sightings follow a recurring ten-year pattern linked to years ending in 7.
