DOGMAN PHOTO Capture & Statement - Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, CA

The photograph was obtained in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park in northern California on May 7, 2017. The eyewitness (named Mark) was out there for the day when he encountered this creature.

He was on a trail near a creek and he came across this cryptid canine. The photograph was taken with a cell phone (a newer model Samsung Galaxy). On a cellphone, a subject may be 20 or so feet away, but the camera makes it look more like 50 feet away. So the eyewitness was much closer than it appears.

The eyewitness stated that the cryptid canine was dark in color and that the muscles and other features were very distinguishable. Unfortunately, the photograph doesn't do the description much justice.

The eyewitness states:

"I was walking on the Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park in the Stout Memorial Grove. It is approximately one mile in circumference. I was going to go to the left and circle around but there were two young guys that started to walk off-trail to a big tree so I went to the right.  I thought it was the two guys messing around but I didn't hear any laughter after it. The hair on my arms stood up after I heard screams.

I turned around immediately to leave because it was getting late, around 6:40 PM and the sun was starting to set. About 20 feet back down the trail I noticed a black figure standing about 120 feet from where the two young guys were standing earlier. At first, I thought it was a bear standing up because it was about seven feet tall and backlit by the sun. The face was partially obscured by a branch and it was too far away to detect an odor.

I took two quick photos of it and left. I didn't realize what I had photographed until later when I reviewed the photos."

In a later statement, the eyewitness said:

"The creature was strikingly all black, seven-foot-tall animal standing on hind legs. Its weight looked to be between 250 to 400 pounds and looked like a bodybuilder. It had a long muzzle, long pointed ears with tufts on them, really long arms with a big chest, and a smaller waist. A branch covered a portion of its face. It was about 30 yards away. This was not a bear, it looked like a werewolf."

Welcome to Phantoms & Monsters 'Personal Reports' - cryptid & unexplained accounts directly from the archives of Phantoms & Monsters, and the Phantoms & Monster Fortean Research team. Narrated by Lon Strickler. Join us in the chat, discuss, and ask me questions about the accounts.

Featured in this edition:

The reports of winged humanoids, referred to by many witnesses as the 'O'Hare Mothman or Batman,' continue at the airport. Cargo workers, air traffic controllers, & other airport personnel are well aware of the phenomenon and openly discuss it amongst themselves. The O'Hare management and the airlines start to crack down on reports reaching the public by threatening suspension and termination. 

In this episode, I will describe the reports and incidents in detail and answer all questions from the chat room. Because there is so much important information yet to be discussed, there will be at least another episode presented in the coming weeks.

YOUR SUPPORT IS APPRECIATED! THANKS
