The Confessionals - 510: Dogman's Interdimensional Portals
Episode Date: January 10, 2023In Episode 510: Dogman Interdimensional Portals, we are joined by Hunter. I believe Hunter holds a key to better understanding the depths of the strange topics we cover on this show. Hunter has dreams... that he says are more real than the "waking world." During one of these dream experiences, he encountered a dogman that was targeting his family. When he stepped in-between them, the beast turned its attention to Hunter and started to rip him apart. When Hunter woke up, he was sitting up in his bed, but had scratches on his back and handprint bruises on his shoulder. One could say the dream was so vivid Hunter injured himself while sleeping, and Hunter would have been happy to believe the same thing. But he can no longer entertain that theory because one day, shortly after the dream, he was out in the woods with his son when the same dogman beast revealed itself to them and chased them through the forest. How can Hunter's dream beast appear on this side of reality? Are dreams more than what we are traditionally taught they are? Is the human mind a gateway or portal to a whole other realm that is as real as you and me?

This was all
circulating around the base
that a giant
had been killed
but no one was
supposed to talk about it
Each up underneath the door
curl up to grab it
and then disappear
When he came over to me
Dude, he slithered over to me.
The giant comes out of the cave and they're all frozen.
And he starts running and firing up this giant.
With a giant move, he's got a spear in one hand and he's running really fast.
And spears, Dan, holds him up like this.
Somebody else, shoot him in the face, shoot him in the face.
They basically decapitated.
Over, and there are two.

great, great, great, great show planned for you today. We have Hunter coming on. He is a fellow
Tennessean, and he contacted us because he had a dogman encounter, but this is a dogman encounter. But
This is not your normal usual dogman encounter, which is what really got me up for it.
Because he started out having this dogman encounter within a dream.
This is a dream that I have high suspicions of if it's even actually a dream or him accessing another world, another realm.
But the fact is, he had this quote unquote dream, woke up with scratches on his back and handprints on his shoulder.
And then not too long after, he's strolling through the woods with his 11-year-old son.
and he actually comes across this very creature he thought he dreamt about.
This dog man creature was in the woods right there in front of him with his boy standing next to him.
He details the whole experience.
We have a really good conversation.
I know you guys are going to like this.
So let's get to it right now.
All right.
Today we got Hunter on the show.
Hunter, what's going on, man?
Not much.
How about you, Tony?
Hey, man.
I just found out we're both Tennesseans.
I love that.
I love that.
That makes you A-O-K in my book.
That makes you good.
great in my book. So I'm telling you, man, like, listen, I love Tennessee. I consider myself
a thoroughbred, even though I've only been here for eight months. You can bury me in my backyard.
I'm not going anywhere. We'll take you. Yeah, I appreciate it because I need it and stuff.
So listen, man, you contacted us and this email you sent was just like, okay, we got to talk to this guy.
Lindsay told me about you. Okay? So like Lindsay is the first line of attack.
Like in the future, if anybody listening right now actually wants to start putting this in the practice,
you don't have to. You can say team or whatever. But in the future, you could say,
hi, Lindsay, I'm so and so. And here's my experience. Because that's, that's who's getting it.
She handles the emails and stuff. And then she talks to me about them and things like that. It's the way it works.
So Lindsay gets this email. And I get home. And she just is like, we need to talk.
And so I was like, all right, let's get them on. And so your story is interesting because it's not just
dogman. It's not just a dogman encounter. It's not just one dogman encounter as far as I'm concerned.
It is, it is, it's a very multi-layered encounter that starts with the dream state. In the words of the
great notorious B-I-G, it was all a dream. And so it all started there. And I, I, I, I, I,
I think I have a lot of thoughts and opinions on it, but I want to hear your story first.
So if we want to start there or wherever you feel like the best place to start is,
but I'm going to hand it over to you and let you start detailing this experience.
In fact, actually, let me ask you this before you even get into that.
Had you ever heard of Dogman?
What were your thoughts on those topics before you had this experience?
So I had never heard a Dog Man up until this year.
I had
So basically
I started working for a company
Before I opened my own business
And
I befriended this guy
He's a great guy
He's actually a pastor
At a church part-time
In Murphsboro, Tennessee
And
He kind of explained to me
That the dream that I had
sounded like dog man
And I was like
That's crazy
like dog man
what are you talking about and
he's like yeah dude people see
a wolf like running around the woods
on two legs and I'm like no way
like that's not real
like that's that's like movie stuff you know
and so
you know I'd heard a big foot
I'd heard of you know people
see encrypted UFOs that sort of thing
but never heard a dog man
and pretty much
just dive right into it
back at the beginning of the year,
sorry, man, I'm nervous.
That's fine.
That's fine.
It's my first time going through this to anybody.
Let me tell you something before you go any further.
What you just did there saying, sorry, man, I'm nervous, is the exact thing that Kyle did on episode 335.
I know you heard that episode, Dog versus Dogman.
It's what he did several times on the recording.
And I chopped it up and edited a lot of that out.
but the fact is
this has happened several times
with people who have come across these things
is they are incredibly nervous
about talking about it
and for different reasons
some people believe that they're summoning them
so I'm not sure if that's
what you think but it's just one of those things
where this is a topic people are very nervous
about talking
yeah I am I mean
ever since he told me about
about dog man
and I started looking into it
you know you get into
the whole Skinwalker thing, and, you know, like, Native Americans are really touchy about that.
Like, they don't even want you saying that word.
So I don't really know how I feel about it yet.
I don't know enough about the subject.
But I'm just really nervous about it because it sounds so freaking insane.
Like, it just sounds so out there and crazy.
Like, to even feel like I'm having this conversation is just nuts to me.
But, you know, I'm 33 years old.
like my whole life you're told like you know this is just stuff in movies this is like
this is just like made up stuff you know so it's just crazy to think yeah i've lived my whole
life thinking something and then what i see in a dream and then i see later in life like it's
just i don't know it's my mind blowing like my heart's racing just talking about it but so uh
At the beginning of the year, I started having these dreams.
Like, I don't really know how to explain it other than when I'm in these dreams.
It's like more real than real life.
It's like I can smell things.
I can feel things.
Like, I feel the wind blowing.
I feel it's just as real, if not more real, than me sitting here right?
down. And so I'm having this dream that I'm in my front yard with my wife and kids and they're
playing. And I look over across the street and there's a like a big big hedge, a big bush,
and there's this gigantic black thing standing behind the bush. It's in the middle of the day.
And I remember thinking I'm seeing things.
And I look back over at my wife and kids.
They don't see anything.
They're just kind of hanging out.
My wife's sitting on the front steps.
And I look back over at this thing.
And he's not looking at me.
He's looking at my wife and kids because I'm standing probably 50 feet over towards the street from them.
We have a creek that runs through our front yard.
and I was over looking down in that creek with my son,
and he had walked back over to where they were.
And he's like paying me no attention whatsoever.
And sit there, I watch him for a minute.
I look back at my wife and kids.
I yell at them.
I'm like, get in the house, get in the house.
And my wife's like, why?
What's going on?
And she's like, what's going?
Like, well, why are you freaking out?
And I'm like, do you?
not see the freaking giant wolf over there across the road like a hundred yards away. And she's
like, no. And I'm like, man, I guess I'm seeing things. I thought I was going crazy. Like,
that's how real this dream was. And when I, after I yelled at them, it turns his attention to me
for just a split second. It looks back at them. I look at them. I look at them. I look at them.
I'm like, get in the house.
I look back at it.
It's gone.
And I'm like, where to go?
You know?
And about two or three seconds later,
I look over, it's in like the tree line.
And it looks like a freaking blur.
It's moving so fast.
And it's running around me towards my wife and kids.
I don't know what to do.
They're my wife and kids.
I run at it to kind of meet it in between.
And this thing like grabs me by the right shoulder and it was a hand.
It wasn't like a dog's paw.
Like this was a hand.
And throws me to the ground like pushes me down into the ground.
It felt like and like scratches me like claws at my back.
and then boom, I'm sitting up in my bed.
And I'm like, what just happened?
And a little bit later that day, it was a weekend day.
I think it was a Saturday.
And I get up, I started getting ready, and I go in the bathroom,
and I'm taking my clothes, I took my shirt off, and I'm staying in the bathroom,
I'm fixing the, you know, kind of shave, whatever before I get in the shower.
and my wife comes in and she goes,
what happened to your back?
It's bleeding.
And I'm like, what?
And she's like, yeah, like your back literally has scratches on it.
And I turn to look in the mirror and there are scratches on my back
where this thing scratched me in my dream.
And I'm like, this is like way beyond my comprehension.
like I don't know if I needed to talk to a therapist, I don't know.
So and also I sent you pictures.
I had a handprint on my shoulder.
It wasn't, I don't know, I can't really,
that's what I'm assuming it was,
because it looked like three or four finger marks on my shoulder,
like bruises.
So I don't know.
And I didn't know how to file.
that. I talk with my wife about it and she's like, um, I don't know. Like, that's, that sounds crazy.
Like, I don't, you know, and I didn't really want to go to like a doctor or a counselor and
talk to them and they'll be like, oh, we need to put you on medication. Like, that's nuts. You know,
like, you're going crazy. So I just kind of like put it in the back of my mind for a while. And,
And sat on it.
And it like, it's like really bothered me for a long time.
So fast forward a couple months.
And me and my son like to go in the woods behind the house.
And we got about, we don't.
There's, it's my, my brother-in-law's grandmother.
She's still living.
in her mid-90s.
She has like 800,000 acres.
So we like to go back in there,
and we got trail cameras and stuff,
and we like to go back in there and check for deer.
And, you know, just chill in the woods.
I grew up hunting, fishing, you know, been in the woods my whole life.
And so I wanted to pass that down to my son.
So, you know, I take him in the woods.
The only kind of hunting we were really doing more is deer hunting
and dove hunting.
But we're in the woods and there's a big open field.
It's about a 50-acre field that they just use for hay and stuff.
And then there's a wooded area that's probably, golly, a couple hundred acres.
It's just woods that's right off that field kind of to the southwest.
and we have a tree stand back there and a couple of cameras right there.
So we go back in there.
We're going to check, going to check them.
And we've never got any pictures of anything other than deer, rabbit, squirrels,
the occasional box or skunk or something, you know.
I've never been scared in the woods in my entire life.
And I think it was probably, I don't know, 4 o'clock, 4.30 when we decided to go do this.
So we go back in there and we got our flashlights.
I always carry a pistol with me just in case, you know, it was in the springtime.
You got snakes and whatever.
We have copperheads, a few rattlesnakes.
But I didn't have a rifle or anything.
You know, it wasn't hunting season.
And so we're back in there, and there's like a little holler where we had the tree sand set up.
And what sounds like whispering, like, I don't know.
It's kind of hard to explain.
It sounded like gibberish or like another language or something.
I don't really know, but it sounded like gibberish, but whispering.
But it sounded like at first it was coming from behind us,
and then in front of us, and then it kind of sounded like it was like all around us.
And I turned to look at him, and he's like, do you hear that?
And I'm like, yeah.
And I'm like, what is that?
And he's like, I don't know.
And I'm like, you know, you're 11.
old sun's with you so you gotta like think of something so i'm like i guess it's the wind making some
weird noises through the wood i don't know and uh a couple minutes later we hear what sounds like
like branches breaking or uh not branches but sticks like old dead sticks on the ground breaking
uh so i just assume there's probably a deer or you know something behind us
We turn and look, there's nothing there.
And so I'm just like, you know, maybe it's just way off back there.
It's sound like it was closer.
And this is the insane part.
We step over a log, and there's logs been there forever.
We just go kind of chill there sometimes because it's right by the tree stand.
We step over the log.
We sit down there.
We take a break for a minute.
and about a minute or two later,
we hear the branches breaking again,
or like leaves rustling,
a few branches breaking.
We just hear some noise kind of down the hill a little bit to our left,
probably like our 10 o'clock.
And I tell him, I'm like, just be quiet.
We'll see what it is.
and I started seeing something black
and it's right at dark by now
so
we both have our flashlights
I'm like
on the count of three
we're going to cut our lights on
we're going to shine over there and see what it is
because it's like you know
when you're in in the woods
it seems darker
than
when you're out in an open area.
So I'm like, you know, on the count of three,
we're going to shine our lights over there,
see what it is.
And I've counted three.
We both get our flashlights up, shine over there.
And this freaking thing,
it's like two,
like orangish, reddish-colored balls
raise up.
And we put our lights on it.
And the only thing I can tell you is, is, is a werewolf.
This thing, it was, it was just a black wolf standing up on two legs.
And it made, like, the most terrible noise I've ever heard.
Like, this thing, dude, it felt evil.
Like, I don't know.
It felt like, oh, man, I don't know.
It's just like, as soon as we saw it, I had this sinking feeling in my stomach.
Like, my heart jumped in my throat and my stomach went the opposite way.
And it was like, because I got my son with me and I'm like, what do we do?
So he, I'm just like in shock.
And what's crazy is he's 11 years old.
he's like pushing me going dad dad dad
we need to go and I turn and I look at him
when I finally like collect my thoughts enough to look at him
and I go don't run
because the only thing I've ever heard about predators
is you don't you don't run away from him
you don't turn your back on them you don't run away
so I'm like you know don't run
don't turn your back let's at least get out
of the woods before we try to get away from this thing.
So we start backing up and like the first step we took,
like the only thing I can compare it to,
I sent you an email and I said,
I think I said it sounded like what I would imagine a dinosaur sounded like.
But since I sent that email,
I've heard something that sounds really similar as a crocodile.
It was like,
golly, this like really,
deep, like, from your gut
route. Like, so
we take another step
and it, it sinks now.
I don't know if it went to all fours.
We couldn't really tell because we were
downhill, or we were uphill from it.
It was downhill. And
I'm like, okay,
just start backing up.
And we're going to back our way
all the way out to the clearing,
which was probably 75 yards,
maybe 65, 75 yards.
So we didn't really have a long way to go.
So we start backing up, backing up, backing up,
and this thing is not like pacing us,
but every time we back up, it comes towards us.
and by the time we get to the edge of the woods,
I can hear it.
It's running.
And I turn, as soon as we get to the edge of the clearing,
to this open field, I'm like, run.
Just go.
Don't look back, just go.
So when I hear it running, when we take off running,
I hear it running.
I turn, I just take my pistol, fire some shots in this general.
direction. I don't know if I hit it. I have no idea. We take off running. And I don't know how,
like by the grace of God, I guess, we make it back to the house. And we sit there and we are looking
at each other and we're like, what is that? My son's like, was that just a wolf? And I'm like,
yeah. And there's nothing else that it could have been. And he's like, I didn't think we had wolves in Tennessee.
And I'm like, we don't.
And I'm like,
what will you tell you're an 11-year-old kid?
You know, I mean,
um,
anyway,
we get in the house,
we're telling my wife,
what's going on.
And she's like,
looking at me and she's like,
didn't you have a dream?
Wasn't that what was in your dream?
And it's like,
it just hit me.
Like, yeah.
Like, the minute I,
I saw it. Like, that was it. And ever since I've been thinking about that, like, how does that connect?
How does what I saw in my dream and what came at me in my dream, how is that now in the woods?
Like, how does that come to life? Like, it's like a, what do I call it, a Tulpa, like where you bring a thought to life?
Like, you know, I don't know.
I don't know how to explain it.
And if you would have told me this before I saw what I saw,
I'd have been like, no, man.
Like, you're, you know, you're crazy.
There's no way.
I mean, that's basically what I haven't, I haven't seen it since.
I mean, I haven't been back in the woods since either.
But, like, I haven't deer hunting at all this year.
I haven't done anything.
I know that's
like people
can call me what they want to
but when you see something like that
in the woods like that's that's life changing
like that's earth shattering
dude like it's like I was telling you before we started
like when you see something that's not supposed to be real
and it's right in front of you
like you're in shock
and like something you're told your whole life isn't real
and then you're sitting there freaking looking at it
like it just changes it's changed my whole perception of life and reality yeah yeah no it's going to
and moving forward it's going to as you continue to think about this stuff and I can just tell you
from experience on that side of things I've never encountered a dog man like you have but the mere
the sheer fact of me doing what I do for the last six years, my thought processes have changed so much,
the way I view the world, the way I view reality. And with this experience, I'm sitting here listening
and my heart and my gut are just like squeezed because I can't imagine what you felt like being there
with your kid. I mean, it's like, I go out, so you saw Expedition Dog Man, we went out hunting for
the Dog Man. I, going into that situation, know that the odds are stacked against me or if it was
that easy to find a dog man, everybody would be finding them. So I knew that there's a good chance
I was going to get home. I was still scared doing it at certain points. I can't imagine actually
seeing something like that and not just seeing it, but having your 11-year-old there.
You mentioned about how it was almost like when you guys first saw it, it almost like mesmerized
you, hypnotized you almost like you were just like stuck.
And your son snapped you out of it.
Do you think subconsciously, your wife mentioned about you having that dream and everything
starts clicking, but in your head, do you feel like your brain was reeling like there's
something here, like there's something that I, like, they're like, almost like, I know this,
but I don't know it. What's going on? Like, like, almost like there's, there's like a glitch
because you had that dream and you're just like, well, wait, what? Hold on a second. You know what I mean?
Like, because your son, who's 11 years old, is the one that kind of snapped you out of it for you
guys to make your exit. And, and you would think it would be almost like the, the opposite way around.
Right. Do you think that consciously, something?
subconsciously there was an effect there because of the dream?
I hadn't really thought about that, but I mean, yeah, it does make sense because when I,
when I first saw it, it's like my eyes are lying to me.
Like, that's kind of how I look back at it now.
It's like, I saw it, but it's like, am I really seeing what I'm seeing?
and then it just
it took me so
it felt like I stood there
it felt like I stood there for like two or three minutes
but in all reality it may have been 15 seconds
but like it felt like I just couldn't take my eyes off of it
because
it like that's not supposed to be real
and like
it is weird
it's like I was trying to place it because
I like after
I got back and my wife said that,
I'm like, man, that's where I've seen that before.
I was trying to think the whole time before,
like, have I seen this like in a movie?
I kept thinking I've seen this exact same thing in a movie
or like, I don't know, like a TV show or something.
Like I knew, like, God, this name is so familiar, but I couldn't place it.
but as soon as she said that,
it took me back to the moment when I was in that dream,
and it, like, clicked.
So I'm,
I don't know,
maybe that had something to do with it.
But,
like,
I,
it's like you say,
that you think it would be opposite.
Like,
my son would be sitting there like,
mesmerized by it.
And I would be like,
come on,
dude,
we got to go.
But it was,
it was the opposite.
And he's like,
dad,
that,
I could hear him saying,
dad,
but I couldn't take my eyes off of it.
Yeah.
You know,
I would say,
in all honesty, if it wanted to get you, it would have got you both.
Yeah, I agree.
And there's, and that for me, like, I'm glad you're here to tell the story, right?
But there's an uncomfortable part of acknowledging that because it means that it can do whatever it wants and there's nothing you can do about it whenever.
And I would say that on that note, I'm trying to navigate this conversation the best I can
because there's information that you and I are going to talk about at some point,
and I just don't know if it's going to be on the recording or not for this.
Right.
But I guess what we'll do is I'll start talking about this.
First of all, let me ask you this.
You mentioned about the red-orange balls.
Was that the eyes?
It had to have been.
I mean, because it was like they weren't, they weren't more than a foot apart.
Like, I can't.
Like, I'm going to say we were, I don't know, 50 yards from it.
But they couldn't have been more than a foot apart.
They were identical, same shape, same color.
And they rose simultaneously.
And then I put the last.
light over there, and it's like they turn a different color. It's almost like when I hit it with
light, it went to eye shine, like a deer when you hit it with light, you know. So it had to have
been. That's interesting. Because the way I'm looking, so let me ask you this, how do you view this
experience then? When you look back at this whole thing and you know what you saw, you know what you
saw in your dream, how do you define this? Do you define what you define what you saw? Do you define what you saw
as a monster of the woods,
have you had a chance to even try to define it?
I mean, you said that happened
in the beginning of this year.
We're recording this in December of 2022.
So this isn't even a year old for you.
I don't know if you even had enough time
to really define the experience in your mind.
What do you think it was?
Essentially is what I'm trying to say.
If I wouldn't have had that dream,
I would honestly say
that what I saw was just an animal.
But I think since I had that dream
and what I saw was the same thing,
I don't know, man, it's got to be something more to it.
I don't know if it's like a spiritual thing.
I don't know if it's demonic.
I don't know.
But I'm telling you, like, I just got the feeling of evil.
So, like, it's hard for me to say
that an animal around the woods is evil.
You know what I mean?
So I really feel like it was something more than just an animal.
Yeah, a lot of people who have these encounters with Dogman, they say the very same thing.
It felt evil, you know?
Yeah.
And it's understandable.
It's understandable.
And there's part of it where you do want to rationalize things and you start thinking,
okay, well, I mean, if werewolves are real, how do we subconsciously when we have these encounters,
first identify and rationalize it.
We're like,
werewolf,
where do we know wherewolves from?
Evil things on movies.
And so I think that that feeling
that you get when you watch a movie
about werewolves is,
it's very,
I mean,
it's very logical to say
that that feeling would come in person
when you have an experience
with a werewolf.
You have no way of identifying it other than that,
especially if you don't,
if you're not a dog man hunter,
you don't listen to the Confessionals podcast.
You don't know what a dog man is.
you would say it's a werewolf.
Right.
And so I think the cultural definition and the way culture will shape your view on these things
will impact how you feel about it in the moment.
But at the same time, there's something more to these things.
And it's not just these things.
I don't want to, how do I say this?
we often want to look at these topics as categories.
Bigfoot's a category, dog man's a category,
Lochness monsters a category, moth man's a category.
And as time goes on, we are, at least I am,
and I know my listening audiences,
getting more and more understanding and comfortable with saying,
the lines get blurred.
and I'm not comfortable saying that, you know,
dog man is this, but Bigfoot isn't.
First of all, let's get it straight.
I have never seen these things,
so I can't tell you what they are.
I can't be a definitive,
all-knowing answer on these things,
but I have talked to a lot of people
and understand through people's experiences.
What you're describing in this,
and the reason why,
for the audience to understand,
where I'm going with this, me talking here is you,
and I'm not sure if you said it on the recording in the beginning,
but I know you mentioned several times since we've been talking that you're looking for answers.
And that's why I'm kind of talking to you this way.
And that's why I just said I can't be a definitive answer on anything.
But there is another realm.
So you mentioned about how in the email,
I don't think you said on the show here,
but you're a deacon at your church.
so you're a religious person.
And as a religious person,
as a Christian in America,
it's a hit and miss as to how people comprehend the spiritual realm,
unfortunately.
But there is a very real working realm that exists
beyond what we can taste, feel, and see.
And that realm might be more.
multi-layered and very complicated. And especially in the Christian circles, that's a hard pill
to swallow for people. Because people just want to believe that in the other realm, it's either
heaven or hell. God exists. The happy little angels exist. And we just float around on clouds
and be all happy and stuff. That's just what the other realm is. Nothing else. The reality is there's
a very real operating realm of good and evil happening right around us. The Bible talks about
it. And there are creatures that exist in that realm. And I'm very, very much convinced. I'm not saying
I'm factually like this is the truth, but I personally am very, very convinced that those
evil entities that exist in those realms know how to access this realm in the physical, not just,
hey, this, this demon appeared in this misty form, but
very tangible physical, hey, I'm here. I could eat while I'm here. I could poop on your front lawn
while I'm here, but I also can go back to where I came from. That's a trip. And what I just said,
a lot of people, I lost, especially people who are new to the top of it. They're like, what the,
this guy's crazy. I don't care what you say. I already know I'm crazy sucker. But the way I'm
looking at your situation, man, I think some people would want to look at your situation as
it was a prophetic dream, right? That you had a dream that you were going to have an encounter
and you did. From the way I feel, not what I know, but what I feel about this other realm
is that actually, no, let me rewind it. What I know is that this other realm that operates around us
does access us through our dreams.
We've seen that in the Bible.
And I say the Bible a lot just because of your spiritual background,
but also the people listening.
And I can tell you that I think there's a possibility
that what you quote unquote dreamt that night came to visit you in this reality.
And that is not a comforting thing at all.
But you said you're looking for answers and I'm not going to give you answers, but I can give you my opinions.
And from what I do know, from other things that I'm working on, what you're calling a dream is not what you're thinking is a dream.
So I think dreams are just dreams at times, right?
I think that for sure we have dreams.
But I think that there are times where people identify something as a dream that the dream state was the doorway, the portal to accessing a very, very real world.
And I think that's what you were talking about when you described how real these dreams are.
I think that and the reason why I say this is because I've talked.
to a lot of people within the last year or so that are going through similar things as you.
And it's really changing my perspectives on the quote-unquote dream state.
Really?
Yeah. Yeah.
I can tell you that I know of somebody who...
And so here's a thing.
So this dog man thing, it's multi-layered.
It's not just one thing.
It can look like, oh, that's a dog man, but where did it come from?
Because I think they come from very many different spots and places, and I think they
originate how they become dog man.
I do think that there are people that have these abilities through occultic rituals,
but also very supernatural means.
And I will just say this.
And this is really crazy.
It's never been on the show before.
But...
what I've been dealing with and dabbling with the last year or so with this,
I don't know how much you've listened to the show,
but I'm working on another podcast.
It's going to really change a lot of people's perspectives on things,
the storyline I'm working on.
But I know of a guy who at one time in his life,
I don't think he can anymore.
At one time of his life,
he could shape shift into a dog man,
what he called a werewolf.
And he was very well known
amongst these types of circles.
And he's not the only one.
There is a guy I talked to earlier this year in another state
that I actually sat down and talked with him face to face.
And he talked about how he had a girlfriend that he dated.
And she was one of these werewolves.
and she wasn't the only one.
There was a group of them
and there was warring fractions
and there was a group of,
we'll just call werewolves
that were from Tennessee
and lower Kentucky
that were coming to their state
and it was like this like
underworld type-esque
fighting amongst these
werewolves, territorial type stuff.
That's that story.
But then the
guy. So like one of these groups came from a very specific location in another state. It's a town.
It was named to me a very specific town that this guy was telling me he's like this gang of these
were warring with this group over here. Shift to this other storyline I'm working on.
The guy that I was that I'm referencing that at least one time could do this, he was so well known
that this other guy talked about him.
and his story to me, where he, this guy,
he found out that there was this group,
these groups fighting amongst each other,
and it actually spilled over into a real problem where,
like, it was public.
It happened into public.
It wasn't, like, happening in darkness of night.
And so he stepped in, and he took care of it.
And, and so, like, what I'm trying to say is,
this is very real.
There's very many different aspects,
but the guy that I'm referencing,
he was able to access other realms.
And in those realms,
Lichen, werewolves, dogman, are very real and are active.
And I think that if he was able to go to those other realms,
not just through sleep state, but instantaneously as well.
So if he was able to do it through his sleep state,
but also do it instantaneously,
he had the ability to do these things.
And I know it sounds crazy.
I know it sounds crazy.
But I'm telling you,
I have the ability to back up a lot of this stuff.
After what I saw,
and nothing sounds crazy, dude.
Right.
So I'm going all the way back to this.
I think that if he could do that,
then why wouldn't the liking that exists in that realm
be able to do it to come to our realm?
And because he could.
and going to the other story of those warring groups of werewolves, dogmen, whatever you want to call them,
the guy telling me this story specifically referenced Tennessee.
So we know that these things exist in Tennessee.
They happen.
And he was talking about how these are people who are transforming.
But I do believe that there are hybrids that are created by government.
I think the government knows this happens.
I think the government, they're very high advanced science.
is a combination of alchemy and science,
you know,
where they're actually doing some dark magic type stuff.
So I say all that to tell you,
and I don't know,
that probably came out really messy,
but I get this vibe that what you encountered in Tennessee
might have followed you from what you call a dream.
Because the way you say you woke up,
sitting up in bed,
and then you had the marks on your back,
which I have pictures of I'm looking at right now.
It seems like almost like there was unfinished business.
And so I just dumped all that on you.
What say you?
I just...
I agree.
I totally 100% agree.
And I get this feeling, man, this is what really bothers me.
It's not over.
Like, I have this feeling in my gut.
like this
this is not
over
I feel like it's just starting
and I don't know why
well
in backtrack
I feel like
it's just starting
because I have these dreams
and like
that's not the first dream I've had
where it's more real than real life
like it's happened before
like nothing more I've ever seen
a freaking
werewolf but I mean
I've had dreams
before with like my granddad, who was like my dad, who died in like 2007, where I'm there
talking to him. He hugs me. I can feel it. Dude, it's, it's, it's, uh, it's just as real as
sitting here. So I mean, like, I just get this feeling like, this is not over with. And
that's, that's like, uh, it keeps me up really late sometimes. Like, like, like, you know,
I'm not like, I've never gotten depressed over it or anything, I don't think, but because I'm a generally happy person.
I'm like, I trust God.
You know, I know he's got, he's got it under control.
And I've listened to other stories.
And when they say, you know, when they're encountering something like this, they just rely on Jesus.
They use the name of Jesus.
So makes time of happens.
That's what I'm going to try.
I mean, you know, it can't hurt.
More than likely, I say this with almost 100% certainty
that in any situation you find yourself in with these things,
the name of Jesus is the only thing that's going to save you.
Because unless you have the right-sized gun,
which most of the time you're not carrying, it ain't going to do nothing.
I talk to a guy who killed these things.
So, like, yeah, not on the show.
It hasn't been on the show. He's on Josh Turner's show, a paranormal portal. I don't know what episode.
But I met this guy face-to-face here in Paris, Tennessee at a conference, and he told me this story.
And then he went on Josh's show and talked about it. But he was driving his truck one night, tracked a trailer driver, and this thing came up alongside of his truck. And he blew its head off.
And it's much more detailed than that, but I'm just giving you the cliff notes. But you can't kill these things.
But I also believe that these things come from many different sources. So some of them are created.
some of them might come from another realm
that are more metaphysical.
Josh Turner talks about how he believes
that these things are metaphysical
and the longer they're in this realm,
the more physical they become.
So sometimes people talk about
having an encounter with these things
and it seemed very metaphysical,
not very physical.
From what I understand,
I won't put words in Josh's mouth,
but from what I understand it,
he believes that the longer they're here,
the more physical they're going to become.
Along those lines,
I will tell you that there's a video that I believe personally is very, very real of a dog man.
And it's somewhere buried on my Instagram.
I'll try to find it and post it in the show notes for this episode.
But it was a guy in Florida and he had taken pictures of a dog man and posted it on his Facebook page.
I still have yet to see those pictures.
I don't know where they're at.
But what he did do was when he posted.
and people were commenting, he went live on Facebook. So he's on Facebook live and he's filming
where he saw this thing. Maybe he didn't take pictures. Maybe he made a Facebook post about or something.
And that's more likely the scenario. And while he's live on Facebook, about three minutes into
this 30, 45 minute video, you see a very large, upright walking dog that's, you can see through
it's metaphysical run extremely fast underneath a streetlight.
and he freaks out. He's like, there it is. And he spends the rest of the video inside his house,
reading comments off the Facebook live of people who saw it with him live on Facebook and talking about
what they all saw together. So this is something that wasn't pre-recorded and produced. It was done live
in person. And not to knock the guy, I don't know him stuff, but when you see his demeanor and stuff,
he doesn't strike me as somebody who's going to create this grand master plan, technologically master plan.
and then dumb it down and make himself seem like somebody who couldn't pull something like that off.
You know, like, I just don't think that's the case.
Now, along those lines, I will transition into my own personal experience.
And I've probably talked about this on the show before, but I don't know if you've ever heard it.
So I do believe it is, it's very much relatable to this topic.
I always say I've never had an encounter with Dogman.
I've never had a counter of Bigfoot.
And I haven't. I haven't been out the woods and saw this creature barreling down at me like Kyle or like you.
But when I went to Kentucky and filmed for Expedition Dogman, we all went back home and we geared up with the editing and all that stuff.
And the week leading up to Expedition Dogman release on March 25th, 2002, we initially dropped it on YouTube. It's no longer available on YouTube. It's in the show notes right now. It's on Amazon.
But we were talking about this launch and everything in my house was dog in it, everything.
Me and my wife talking about it, having meetings in the studio, because this is the first time
I ever put out a film.
Like, we went down there and I thought this was going to be an action vlog for YouTube.
Like, it was just like, hey, guys, here we are walking around the woods.
I had no idea the caliber of guys I had with me, you know.
And so it turned into this whole film thing and it turned into a very serious effort into putting
out a production.
So we're talking about it all the time that week.
We got some pictures from Ward from a game trail cam that was interesting.
And we're like, oh, what is that?
It's a weird looking dog, that's for sure.
And me and my wife go upstairs.
It was like 11 o'clock at night.
We left the studio getting ready to go to bed.
We're in the kitchen, probably having a snack.
And I'm sitting in the middle of the floor in the kitchen.
She's leaning against the counter.
We don't have any dogs.
We have one cat.
She's declawed.
And that's important.
the entire downstairs of that old house in Pennsylvania was hardwood floor. And once you got to
the carpet, it was at the stairs going upstairs and all upstairs was carpet. So the only place,
the only surface in the house that had hardwood floor was downstairs. And we're sitting there,
we're standing there talking not long. The cat's sitting right in front of me. She's sitting there.
I know where she's at. She's not moving. And we heard something bipedal walking and it's now
clacking on the floor and it was big because my wife, I looked at my wife and I said,
did you hear that? And she said, I didn't just hear it. I felt it. And I was like, oh, good, me too.
Like, you could literally feel the weight pushing down the floor like you could feel the vibration
of it. It was very physical, but not totally physical. It was metaphysical. And it's like,
did we summon it by giving it so much attention?
You know, I don't know.
I think that this is a very complex topic
and I think that the more we look into it,
the more complex it's going to be and it's going to get.
I think that what you're experiencing is the bridge
between the metaphysical,
the other realm and this realm.
I think that
I almost not that you are the bridge but you're kind of the bridge you've been to both and you have you've brought
physical evidence of the other realm here in the sense of the pictures which if you're okay with
I'll post with this episode um yeah sure but uh you have the the scratches on your back you have those
prints on your shoulder like something grabbed you by the shoulder and pushed down extremely
hard where it bruised you uh yeah and that's something that has something that
happened in your quote-unquote dream and was brought back here in this reality. So how is that
possible unless somehow you were somewhere else? Maybe your, and maybe your body was here,
but part of your body wasn't here. Something about maybe the inner, the inner us,
the inner you goes somewhere else to another realm where it's very physical. It's,
It's very real.
That's why you keep saying it felt more real than here because it is.
And then you brought the physical things that happened to you back here.
And it's hard to contemplate because it's hard to understand because I don't understand it.
All I know is you're not the first person I talked to that have had these experiences.
And it's becoming more and more frequent.
See, that's what gets me.
is like I'm the kind of person.
I get something on my mind.
I wear it out.
Like I have that real,
I guess it's the ADHD like we were talking about.
Like I just,
I get something to my mind until I figure it out,
I wear it out and trying to figure it out.
So I've been doing research even into like dreams
and stuff like that in dream states.
So I have this condition where my heart rate is super slow.
So the only thing I've been able to piece together out of this whole situation is I wear an Apple Watch all night just to keep up with my heart rate.
Well, I wear it all the time.
But I wear it especially at night because my heart rate gets so low.
And the only thing I can piece together in this from reading research and other people's experiences is my heart rate gets down in the 30s.
sometimes the low 30s at night.
And from what I understand, your brain will kind of begin to shut down,
and it releases a certain chemical,
which is the same chemical that releases when you're in REM sleep or when you die.
So I don't know if that's what's happening, like for sure.
I've never done a sleep study.
I have no idea.
But what if that's a gateway?
what if that's
you know
I don't know
I'm just
I'm throwing out all
all possibility
or I'm not throwing out
any possibilities
until you know
I can for sure
rule them out
you know what I mean
absolutely
that I'm so glad
you said that
because this is giving me
new things to think about
and to ask other people
as well
because I mean
if you think about it
when you
when you hear somebody's story
and I don't know
if you ever heard
the stories like I said
I really don't know
how much of my show
you've listened to
but I've talked to people
who have died
and come back to
life. And they described what they saw and how real it felt and the understandings that they
came back with. It was like it is another realm. It is another form of existence that they experienced
and then came back to this world, this experience, this existence. And the common denominator is
they died, which is what happens obviously, your heart stops, your heart drops. Well, what if
through people like you and your experiences, what if that's a common denominator where people's
heart rates are dropping so low that it allows them to access that other realm without dying.
And they go into that realm in a not so safe and organized way that opens them up to experiences
of things in these other realms that are very real, but without the proper organized fashion of
entering that realm, it could be very dangerous. I have heard of people dying in these realms.
and when they die in those realms,
they die here.
Yeah.
And the way I know that people are,
I know people are saying,
well, how do you know if they died?
People who, people who are accessing these realms,
this is something that's done together with other people.
Other people do it together.
And one comes back, the other doesn't.
And so it's very, it's very complicated.
And I'm still trying to understand it all, you know,
And like I said, I'm working on a whole other podcast.
It's not going to be called a confessional.
It's going to call it something totally different.
It's based off of this stuff.
Like, it's based off this stuff.
And the snag on that whole thing is the central character of that story that launched
my whole thing here, the focal person.
I don't think he's the only person, but the focal person that brought this all to my attention
that somebody else told me about, that person,
now knows who I am, has listened to my show and is contemplating sitting down and talking to me
face to face. If that happens, I can't produce another podcast till I know that person is either
willing to talk to me or not. Either way, his story's going to be told, but does he want to tell a story?
Or does he want me to tell a story? Because I'd rather him tell the story. But if not, I'm going to
have to tell a story. But until I know for sure, because I don't want to put it out and be like,
all right, I'll tell my story. Like, no, no, no, no. You should have told me that.
why put it out.
Like, you know, but, but, but, but yeah, this is, this is crazy.
I know, and this is why you were saying, like, I don't know how to talk, like, this is
crazy town.
I understand it.
Like, this is crazy town.
Like, listen, I've been doing, I've been doing this show for six years, right?
And people see how the show is grown, you know, people in my, not the listeners, obviously
the listeners, but the people in my, my life, back home and stuff where I'm from, the people who
I grew up with who laughed and thought I was crazy for doing a Bigfoot show, you know?
Like, like, they're thinking is, like, Tony's crazy, you know?
Like, seeing it all, right?
Like, they can't come to grips with the fact that, one, I have a successful podcast,
but it's more than that.
I have a successful podcast because people are having these experiences and they're sharing
them on my show.
They still can't come to grips with the fact that this stuff.
actually happens. In fact, I was just at my sister's wedding in November, and my cousin and I were
talking, and he and I, like, we grew up like, it's like brothers, you know? And, you know,
it's to get older, you lose contact. But we're talking and he's like, let me ask you a question.
And it's like, yeah. And he said, you do your podcast and everything. That's all great.
He said, but do you actually believe these people? And I was like, bro, it would be so soul-sucking
to sit down multiple times a week with people to hear their stories if I don't even believe them,
pretending to believe them.
You know, like, I was like, yes, I believe them.
And, and it's, but that's the attitude, you know.
And so when you come forward to talk about this, you already feel self-conscious about it.
And you know it sounds like crazy town.
Most people are going to say, you're crazy.
And so I want to, I want to applaud you on reaching out to me and saying,
hey, I'll talk to you.
Because it takes people like you to come forward and talk about this stuff for to get anywhere.
Or else we'd still be 20 years ago when it's just this weird topic that people talk about that, you know, it's just, it's, you know, nobody, nobody believes it kind of thing.
Podcasting has allowed it to change the landscape for sure.
It is, man.
I mean, like I told you in the email, like, you know, I know lots of people have come forth before.
And, you know, I don't know that I'm going to make that big of a difference in anybody's opinion.
but people need to know
this is like
this is like not a joke
like I know what I saw
my son was with me
he saw the same thing
we've talked about it a couple of times since then
but you know he's 11 like I don't want him to be
scared to go to bed
you know so
I kind of tried to
to bounce a couple of things off of him here and there
but he just kind of plays it off
I don't know if it's going to wind up being like a repressed memory for him
or what, but, like, if people don't realize, like, you can't be so narrow-minded, you can't be
closed-minded.
Like, there's something else to this life besides what we can hear and see.
And, like, people got to realize that.
And, like, your show gives people, like, me before I knew about your show.
I was driving me nuts, dude.
Like, I'm thinking I'm crazy.
And I'm thinking, like,
more,
I was like,
we're hallucinated.
Do we see what we saw?
And then I hear other people's stories.
And I'm like,
God,
you know,
I'm not the only one.
There's a lot of people
that have seen or had the same experience I had.
So it makes you feel better.
Because like,
I talked with my mother about this.
Not about dog man,
but about the whole dream state and how I feel like I go somewhere else.
And do,
like my mother,
I love her to death.
And she's been my best friend since I've been an adult.
Like,
we get along great.
But she acted like I was a nut job for saying what I said about, you know,
feeling like I'm somewhere else when I go to sleep.
So, like, you know, when your mom makes you feel that way,
it's kind of hard to discuss it with anybody else or, you know,
I have the confidence to discuss it with anybody else.
Yeah.
So when I found your show, I was like, man, I feel like I need to talk to him.
Like, it would almost be like therapy, you know?
Yeah, well, I'm not licensed.
I'm not licensed everybody, okay?
I'm not claiming to be licensed counselor.
Oh, man, Tony Merkel, the counselor, the cryptid counselor.
There you go.
I'll tell you what, do not be surprised if another podcast pops up around six months to a year from now called the cryptic counselor.
That says a nice ring to it.
Yeah, like that's a nice ring to somebody is going to call a podcast cryptic counselor or cryptic counseling, something like that.
I promise you, you just coined something that's going to be a future podcast.
I'm sure, man. I'm sure. Oh, man. It's a copycat world.
Yeah, indeed.
You know, like, what's really, I don't know if you want me to go into this right now about, like,
any kind of paranormal stuff or not?
Well, I'm looking at the time here and stuff, and I know what we have in store here moving
forward. You have the paranormal where you grew up in a paranormal situation with a haunted house,
and you, if I'm wrong, you had, you did have a Sasquatch encounter, right?
Yes.
Yes.
About 12 years ago.
Okay, so it was before the dog man.
Yeah.
Which is really interesting to dissect a little bit with the psychology of that going from
a big foot encounter to, you know, this whole dog man thing.
And I want to, I definitely want to get your insight as to what that mental transition was
because you have this big foot encounter and then the dog man thing, it's an encounter,
but it's a little more complex than I was strolling through the woods and boop it was scary you know
like it is much more complex than that and I want to shift into that but I think what we're going to do
we're going to make it an overtime episode and so before we start wrapping this section down I don't
want to move away from this topic yet just yet because I did have in my notes that I wanted to ask you
your son's position on all this stuff and you kind of just hit on that him being 11
Was he 11 years old when this happened?
Was he 10 and now 11?
So that would, no, yeah, he was 10 or 11.
He was already 11.
He won't turn 12 until February.
Gotcha.
February 3rd, yeah.
Gotcha.
So, listen, I understand your hesitation with bringing it up because you don't want to
scare the heck out of him.
I mean, that's probably going to be the scariest thing he's ever going to go through
in his entire life outside of maybe losing a loved one, you know?
Yeah.
But I think it would be very beneficial for you to, as he gets older, just poke around the topic with him.
And just see if he remembers it.
There's a difference between remembering it and not wanting to talk about it and not remembering it and can't talk about it.
just because I think, listen, you're 32, he's 11.
He's going to be 20 soon.
You know how it works.
He was a baby just yesterday.
And so one day he's going to be old enough to talk about this stuff.
And you're not going to be an old man.
You know, you're going to be in your early 40s.
And you can have a heart-to-heart-heart-man conversation with your son and hash that stuff out.
What did he see?
What was his experiences?
And that's going to be therapeutic for you.
And hopefully there is no future encounters for him or you.
That said, your wife, how does she view this whole thing?
You mentioned about how your mom thinks you're kind of loopy with your dreams and stuff.
What's your wife feel about this whole experience that you've had with the dog, man?
She at first thought I was nuts.
I mean, she was like, you know, you're just, it's just a dream.
Like, whatever you're dreaming about, I have crazy dreams too.
And I'm like, no, babe, like, this is not a typical dream where you're somewhere and you know you're there, but it seems like it's somewhere else.
Like, this is like, this is more real than me and you sitting here talking.
So she just kind of thought I was crazy.
But then the night I had the dream about the dog man and with the scratches and everything.
She started realizing, like, there's something going on.
Like, you don't, normal people don't just.
wake up from a dream, a good night's sleep and have scratches and a handmark on their shoulder,
you know?
So she kind of took a step back and was like, you know, maybe there's something going on.
But now we're to the point.
That's why I wanted to ask you about the paranormal stuff, because there's been a few things
happen where she's very, she's completely open-minded now to, there's something else going on,
this is not your average everyday dream or, you know, there's, there's a little more to it. You know what I mean?
Yeah. And that, you know what? That's, I'm glad that, that, uh, that we're going to talk about that because this, like I said earlier, the line is not a hard line anymore in my book. It's very blurry. The transition between all these different types of topics. Uh, you see similarities amongst these different type of topics and stuff. Um, so let's, let's,
start the transition, I guess, into more of an overtime conversation. Before we get out of here,
though, I forget what I was going to say. I'll do it all the time. It's the ADHD, man.
Like, golly, man. Like, I knew I should have wrote it down. I knew I should have wrote it down.
I was like, no, I'll remember it because I'm going to say it in like 20 seconds. I can't remember
what I was just going to say. Holy cow.
Well, okay. So there's that. So you saw a dog man. I could rehash the last hour just to remember that one little silly question I was going to ask you. But I think we'll just wind it down, I guess. So in this over time, we're going to talk about the more paranormal things and also, I guess, how it relates with your wife and the topic with Dogman and how she kind of maybe her mindset is changing a little bit. And we're also going to talk about your Sasquatch encounter.
That's what I wanted to talk to you about.
That's what I want to ask you.
Before we get out of here, though,
listen, I drove from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to the Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky.
It was like a 10-hour drive to hunt the dog man.
You live in Tennessee, man, like two, three hours away from me.
If I came out to you, would you be able to walk me to where you saw this thing?
Sure.
Absolutely.
That's what I wanted to know.
That's what I wanted to ask.
And I'm not saying we're going to turn this into, you know, Expedition Dogman Part 2.
Not saying that maybe, but probably not.
I just want to, for my own curiosity, listen, you're too close to me.
Like, there's people.
Yeah.
I've driven further for people.
So, uh, right.
If it's, if you're okay with it, I would love to come out and, uh, you know, consider it
part of my job.
This is what I do.
So, like, let's just go and, and do it.
Uh, so if you're down, I'm down.
Um, and we might be a little, little different if it was the, the place where
the dog man thing happened.
Like, I, I'm really, that was different, you know, like,
But with the Sasquatch, that one wasn't really, I mean, up until talking about that point in my life, that was the scariest thing that happened when I saw it.
But, you know, it's been 12 years.
I've, you know, come to terms with it.
It didn't hurt me.
It didn't even really notice me.
So, I mean, yeah, I have no problem going back out there.
All right.
So I was referring to the dog man saying the thing.
So you're not ready to go back there.
Oh.
If you're not ready to go back to that's fine.
Would you be able to at least find it on Google Maps?
give me the coordinates so I could go to it?
Yeah, absolutely.
Okay.
Like, maybe, if you give me a little time to process it a little before.
I know, it's been like, you know, eight months now, but, yeah, I might, I might
could do it.
If I was, if I wasn't alone, I would feel better about it, you know what I mean?
I just haven't gone, I haven't gone back out there by myself, you know?
I just, and I don't want to take my son out there, and he's the only one I would ever go
out there with, you know what I mean?
Yeah. No, I understand. Listen, let it breathe. I wasn't saying we're going to come out next week either. But listen, if you want to show me where the Bigfoot thing happened too, like absolutely, I'm out there. If you want to do both, let's do both. If you don't want to do the dog man thing, show me where the bigfoot thing is give me the pin drop for the dog man. I'll go find him myself or not hopefully not dog man, but find the location myself. I'm not looking for dog man. I'm just looking for the location. I want to see if there's like a portal around there. I can mark on the map and jump through later.
You know, I'm always portal hunting.
Yeah, yeah.
It's just one of those things. It's fun.
But all right, let's wind this down and move into the overtime.
