Show Notes
Late one night in 2012, tonight’s guest was riding home with her fiancé in Marietta, Ohio, after feeding, watering, and exercising her horse where she had been boarding him. Her fiancé was driving, and “Mandy” had her feet up on the dashboard on the passenger side of his truck.
As they drove past Sacra Via Park, all of a sudden, her fiancé slammed on the brakes and stopped the truck in the road. When Mandy looked over at him, he was white-knuckled, with a death grip on the steering wheel. When she asked him what was wrong, he told her that he had seen something he initially thought was a deer—but it wasn’t a deer. As he described what he had seen, he was white as a sheet.
Mandy never saw what her fiancé had seen that night, but the experience lit a fire in her. Using his description, she began doing exhaustive research in an attempt to figure out what it might have been. Eventually, she came to believe that what he had seen was most likely something called a Dogman.
After reaching that conclusion, Mandy became almost obsessed with Dogmen. Her fascination with them eventually led her to seek out an encounter of her own. She began walking her dog, Boston, at night in the same park where her fiancé had seen the Dogman, hoping that, sooner or later, she would have a Dogman encounter of her own.
As fate would have it, on a very hot night, around 2 AM, in August of 2013, while walking Boston in that park, Mandy finally got her wish.
Unfortunately, the experience didn’t affect her the way she thought it would. She thought she was ready to have a Dogman encounter, but she wasn’t. Since that night, she’s suffered from ongoing Dogman-related nightmares and night terrors. She’s also been diagnosed with PTSD and says she is still traumatized by the experience.
We hope you’ll tune in to tonight’s show and listen to Mandy share everything she’s been through, including why she believes her encounter affected her so strongly. What happened to Mandy should serve as a warning to anyone who thinks they’d like to have a Dogman encounter of their own.
It just might not turn out the way you hoped it would.

More from Dogman Encounters Radio
One night last month, tonight’s guests, Josh and Nikki Taylor, visited Jerome Cemetery in Jerome, Indiana, with their 12-year-old daughter, Bella. Known for its reported paranormal activity, the cemetery has drawn visitors who describe hearing disembodied growling and barking, as well as seeing what they call hellhounds.
Tonight’s guest, Andy, is a huge fan of trains and railroad artifacts, so it should come as no surprise that one of his favorite pastimes is exploring remote places in the woods in search of railroad history. Over the years, those trips have led to some interesting finds and fond memories. But they’ve also led to some frightening experiences—including two Dogman encounters.
Tonight’s guest, Dan Hammond, is a paranormal investigator based in southwestern Ontario, Canada, with more than 10 years of experience investigating paranormal events and cryptid sightings. Although he says he was once punched in the nose by a ghost that followed him home from an investigation at an old farmhouse, cryptids still frighten him more than the prospect of being physically attacked by a ghost.
Tonight’s guest, Sean Patterson, was featured on Episodes 667 and 668. On Episode 667, he shared several experiences he had in a forest on the outskirts of Irvine, California. He calls the area where he’s repeatedly seen Dogmen “The Sanctuary.”
Tonight’s guest, James R. Hood, is a Dogman field investigator who has been interested in cryptids since he was 13 years old. Little did he know, back then, that one day he’d be interviewing Dogman eyewitnesses and conducting field investigations in the very places where they had their encounters.
