I recently received an eyewitness referral after a message was posted on a Facebook group page. The following information was originally posted:
"I know that dogman is real. In 2001 I saw one while hunting in PA. It was about 7ft tall. Had a head like a dog with a long muzzle. It was very strange looking with gray and black hair with a 2 or 3 foot tail. It sounded like a demon from Hell. I was 45 yards from it. I had it in my scope. It was one ugly puppy. It was standing looking towards me. It had yellow wild-looking eyes. I had my 30.06 with me with a 4 +12 Weaver scope on it. I believe it saw me. It took a step towards me then it took off to my left. I did take my safety off just in case. Moshannon, PA. in Centre County.” TY
NOTE: I was given TY's telephone number, and later contacted him. He explained that he was hunting in an area that was part of a 110 acre farm that he once owned. It was 2001 during the deer firearms season (late Fall). TY was in his deer stand. At about 10:30 AM he noticed movement in front of him (he estimated that it was 45 yards from him). Thinking that it may be a deer, he adjusted his scope and took a look. He was shocked to see a upright bipedal being, about 7-8 ft in height with a head that reminded him of a large German Shepherd with a long muzzle. The eyes were yellow-orange in color, and it was looking in his direction. The creature was human-like in stature, with a muscular chest, arms and legs. It had gray and black hair all over its body. The hand / claws looked like over-sized raccoon paws. The feet were long, and attached to canine-like hocked legs. It was making a low deep growling sound that TY described as 'demonic.'
The creature took one step forward, and TY clicked the safety off on his rifle. Apparently the creature heard and/or recognized danger and immediately took off in a direction left of TY. This was the only time that TY saw the creature.
TY did state that he had seen, what he believed, was a white Bigfoot while hunting in the same area in 1999.
We have received upright canine reports from areas around Moshannon State Forest and Sproul State Forest in recent years. Centre County is located within the 'Lycan Loop' in central Pennsylvania.
“I was in the woods of southern California. I was in the middle of a training session when I was told to stay off the road. 'Okay, cool I said.' About 2:00 AM, me and my partner are moving to another spot when I spot three people walking on the road. I immediately told him to hold and we moved into the shadows. What we saw was very unusual. The beings or men.... were the same exact height moving at the same exact speed with the same exact step and arm swing. I wasn't scared but was like 'what in the F...!?!?' I asked some others later on and a couple of guys said they saw the same and it was weird to them too. [I asked for more details] Due to the nature of the job, I must be vague.
It was in July. We were on a navigation night exercise. One of my favorites because they’re high speed and thrilling. There’s a group of us doing this evolution. We split off into two’s. Woods at night can play tricks on your mind real easy. But my partner and I have laser-like focus so we’re not spooked by this. Hours go on as we make our way to checkpoints. Our last checkpoint was hard and very far. It took forever and we thought we were lost so we had to recheck our map to see where we were at. We used the moon's light to gather our exact whereabout. Well best lighting is by the road so we went by it. That's when I saw in the distance three things, people, or whatever walking on the road. I was like 'f**k...instructors.' I told my partner to dip off into the shadows so they couldn’t see us. When they walked past us it was trippy! All three same height, 6'7' or so, all unison, not a step out of place nor arm, and saying something in some foreign language. It was weird and my thoughts were 'these instructors are in need of civilization, these fools are tripping.' I ask my nav partner like WTF? and shrugged it off. We finally made it to the last checkpoint. Others were there and I ask around about any tall instructors around. Everyone said, No. Two dudes walked up to me and said they saw some dudes walking perfectly together and they dove into some bushes before they got near. They said it looked trippy too. I don't know, man, it was wild.” BD
I was given the following explanation of this phenomenon:
The Mirrored Men is a phenomenon in which two or three beings are observed looking and moving exactly alike, as if one is looking at a mirror image of the same being. Derek Hayes, host of the Monsters Among Us podcast, was the first to stumble upon the phenomenon after he covered a story on his show and received numerous reports from other people who claimed to have encountered these same beings.

Paul from Orange, Virginia (which is about an hour south of Washington, DC.) called in to comment on his bizarre encounter:
“This happened to me last fall (2017). I was out back, sitting on the patio having a cigarette, having some drinks, talking to my friend on a cellphone. It was about 10 at night and very dark. The yard goes back really steep down to the lake here and there's a lot of woods and stuff in between, brush and it's pretty thick. Well, suddenly I heard something running across the yard, right through all the thick brush. I said, 'What was that?' My friend was like, 'What?' I said, 'I don't know, something just ran through the yard.' It was big, whatever it was. To me, I couldn’t figure why it ran where it ran when it could it could have been a little further down by the lake, it had a free run, because it's all open down there. I said, 'Maybe it's a deer, I guess.' But I've never seen a deer here in this spot before. It just seemed like a weird time for it to be running. Anyway, I kind of forgot about it. I kept talking to my friend.
Suddenly I hear a noise down by the dock. I was like, 'There it is again.' For some reason, my first thought was, there's some kids playing around down there. I don't know why I thought that but that's the first thing I thought. Anyway, I got up and I went running over towards the stairs to go down to the dock. And they're steep stairs and when I get to the stairs, I get to the top of them and I look down and there's this thing running up the stairs towards me and I was just in shock. (Jimmy asks what he saw) It was, like, it was a person but it had a deer head. (Jimmy asks if it had a human body with a head of a deer) Yes. And it was running up the stairs so fast, it was crazy that it could even move that fast and it was staring right at me. And I'm just standing there and I'm staring at it. And it had red eyes. It actually had red eyes. One friend said it means it was demonic. I said, I don't think it was demonic or anything. Anyway, it ran right up to me. It kept staring me in the eyes and I was staring right back at its eyes, just kind of in shock, I guess. When it got right up to me, it actually said something which I don't know what it said. I just remember, I just know it said something like four or five syllables real fast. It seemed like it said words but I don't know what they were. And then it ran right...it just kept running and ran right by me. I could have touched it...it was within inches of me. The stairway is only four feet across. (Jimmy asks if it was man wearing a deer head as a prank) That's what people said too, a couple of friends that I told. I had hardly told anybody about this because it was just the craziest thing I have ever seen. That's what someone suggested but I said, 'No, no, it was moving way too fast.' It was...it was moving so fast that when I thought about it later, I was like, man, it was almost like in a different dimension or something. That's all I could think.
(Jimmy asks what he thought it was) I think it was being that had a human body and a deer head. And the antlers weren't like the deer around here. They weren't like the white-tailed deer here. They were more spindly. They were spindly and there was more...a lot more like ties or branches than normal. I actually saw a branch once, and I was like, Oh my god, that branch looks like one of the antlers on that thing I saw. (Jimmy tells him his sighting was bizarre) It was, man. Like I said, I don't even tell my friends about that. (Jimmy asks if he saw lights or if something else happened prior to the encounter) I can't think of anything else like that that could have triggered it or could have caused it.
The next night I was standing at the top of the stairs. It's night-time, dark, and I was like, I had goosebumps all over me. I was like, I was calling myself, I'll say wimp, I said, Paul, are you a wimp? Are you gonna walk down these stairs and go down to the dock. And I'm standing, looking down these stairs and I went, No, I'm not. But I'm okay now with it. I went out and slept on the dock over the summer and, man, something did happen one night at 2:30 in the morning. I woke up and I was laying there and I start looking at my phone until I went back to sleep but 50 feet away, in the woods, I heard something big crashing around and then I heard it started snorting, like a deer snort, and I was like, 'What the...?' And I just laid there. I just laid there, like, I'm not getting up, I'm not going up there, the hill, I'm just gonna lay here and be quiet. I don't know what it was but it sounded like a deer and it was big. (Jimmy asks about the body of the creature, was it just human from the neck down) Yeah. I think it was human from the neck down but to be honest with you, I didn't look down at his legs. I was just staring at his face while it was coming at me, you know. (Jimmy asks if it was wearing clothes) No, I didn't notice any kind of clothes. (Jimmy asks if the creature was completely naked) I can't say for sure because, like I said, I didn't look down. I mean, honestly, that thing locked its eyes on mine and I was locked on its eyes and it was kind of dark too.”

Jane in New York called to tell of bizarre experience she had:
My mother was a frequenter of Ouija boards by herself. When my daughter was around two, we moved to the town of Cazenovia in upstate New York which is known for in frequent hauntings in homes. I have studied the history. We bought a home. I had a German Shepherd who never ever left my side at night. I'm wondering now when we moved in, my mother was with us so I'm wondering if that's not part of it.
We moved into our home. Everything seemed fine. I noticed six dog houses at the back of the property and it had a swimming pool which I never put any water in because I don’t swim and my husband travels. A neighbor came over and said, 'If you're really smart, don't put any water in your pool. Every dog who has lived here has drowned in the pool.' Everytime I would let my German Shepherd out, and it had the round steps so she could easily walk up. My daughter began speaking to a little girl named Lisa. So poor Mishka (the dog), I built a run for her because everytime I would let her out, she would go down to the bottom of the pool and she'd bark and I'd have to carry her out. She couldn't walk out.
My daughter was still in her crib, not crawling out at that point. I got her out and put her down one morning and she said, 'C'mon, Lisa.' And I said, 'That's cute, who's Lisa, sweetie?' She said, 'Oh, Lisa lives in my closet, mommy.' And I said, 'Well, that's interesting.' I noticed that during the day, around the edges of my daughter's room, around the outside, there was an infestation of flies that would not go away. My daughter started speaking more and more frequently to this little girl, Lisa. My German Shepherd who slept in the bed with me every night of her 14 years would get to the bottom of the stairs in this home and the hairs would go up and down her back and she would not go up those stairs. I started becoming very ill and my daughter started acting in very strange ways. The way she would look at me and study me even to the point where one day I was in her room and, I always took locks off of doors when my child was a baby so she couldn’t get locked in. One night, the door swung closed and she sat there in this trance like state and said, 'Can't get out, can you mommy?' I said, 'Nicole, are you doing this? Nicole, are you doing this?' So I started to pry the bolts off of the door and the door came open. I started sleeping at the end of the hall as I was becoming sicker and sicker. And my daughter was talking more and more to this little girl. I heard singing in the night.
One night, I was in the room next to hers and I could hear little footsteps like dancing. I jumped up. I rushed into her room thinking that she's finally getting out of her crib and she was in a dead sleep. I mean just dead sleep. The next morning, I took her out of her crib. She got down. She did a little dance. I said, 'That's cute. Where did you learn that?' And I used to be a newspaper reporter when it was an honorable profession so I'm not an over-reactor. And she said, 'Oh, Lisa taught me that last night.' I will tell you, I freaked in just about every direction one could freak in. At the one point, when the door closed, she fell over in her crib a second time and I could not get her to respond to me. I called a friend of mine and they sent a parapsychologist to our home.
When he walked in the front door, my daughter would be fine downstairs on the ground level. He walked in and he kind of caught himself and he said, 'You have 7 to 8 entities within this home.' He said, 'Tell me about the strangeness that your daughter is doing.' I said, 'Well, she's talking to a little girl, Lisa, constantly. But she doesn't talk to her downstairs, it's only in the upstairs.' He said, 'I'll tell you, I looked through the history of your home,' he said, 'there was a little girl. Which is her room?' I showed him. He said, 'Oh please, could we please just leave this room.' He said, 'There was a mother who beat her child to death in this home, and the little girl's name was Lisa.' And I said, 'No, that can't be.' He said, 'No, it really is.' He said, 'Have you noticed any changes in your daughter?' I said, 'I do. She's very calm about things. She would watch me and stare at me as I walked around the upstairs.' He said, 'Get your daughter downstairs immediately. Take her out of the upstairs of this house. I am feeling true evil in the upstairs of this house.' He said, 'This house... are you ill, by any chance?' I said, 'Yes, I've been so ill. It's just difficult to go and change her diapers because I'm so weak.' He said, 'I feel that a spirit is trying to separate you from your daughter and keep her as part of this house.' So I packed her up. I took her downstairs. I left. I just left. I thought, I'm not gonna keep my baby here. I'm not gonna keep her in the house and he made me aware that several other people had bought that home and no one ever stayed for more than a year but they wouldn’t tell anyone why. But being who I was, I said I want to get to the bottom of this. Once my daughter was downstairs, she was fine.
I walked upstairs one day to get something out of the linen closet. I had her in my arms. She looked up at me and said, 'Lisa doesn't want you to touch that.' I said, 'Sweetie, are you seeing someone or talking to someone?' She said, 'I'm not answering mommy.' So I took her downstairs. I packed everything up. I left the house. The parapsychologist said, 'I do sense 7 to 8 entities, one very ill entity that wants your daughter. They want her back as their child.'”

Chris from Alamogordo, NM wrote to tell of a weird experience he had:
“Something happened to me about 15 years ago and if I'm right, I may have shifted realities. If I’m right, that means this is not my native reality. Years ago, I was driving home from the night-shift at work. The commute was always two hours, with one hour both to and from. I was on my way home. The sun was up and I was very sleepy. I would nod off here and there while I was driving which would normally force me to get out of the car every so often to wake up and keep going.
Well I’m on the final leg of my journey and sitting at the stop light heading south, I started to nod off again but it was interrupted by the strange tingling in my body. My whole body went into full goosebumps mode which stirred me and pushed away any more thoughts of sleep. I looked at the light which was still red and I looked to my left to see that the cars in the west bound lanes were slowly making their way to make the turn. My light finally turned green. I start to go. I'm in my old Camaro which gains speed pretty quickly, when I see at the last minute the blue car blow through the westbound lane. This is where it gets hazy. My body is now vibrating but I hit that car. I know I did. I hit it on the passenger side near the front. I could see the cars crunch and I felt the airbag deploy. As it did I could feel a bone in my face break. I was terrified and then I just sort of blacked out. It was weird moment. I closed my eyes and all the while my body just suddenly stopped. No more goosebumps or anything. I didn't sense anything, but I do remember the distinct feeling of trying to push through something that almost felt like cotton but much more wispy. Then I opened my eyes to see that I’m now in the middle of a traffic light passing through. I looked to my left to see that same blue car patiently waiting like the other vehicles.
I stopped in a nearby parking lot and checked my car and nothing, no damage to the car or me. I drove home after this shaking. I was totally bewildered. That's my story. I don’t know what to make of it but I've never shared it with anyone. My family doesn't even know but if i did change reality, are these people still my family?”
