Australian Man Claims He Was Chased by Dogman
An Australian man, who requested he be identified only as “John,” claimed he was stalked by a dogman monster in the Outback. Following the incident on Boxing Day (January 2) 2021, he said he was “petrified for a month.
John told the Believe: Paranormal & UFO Podcast the dogman actually pursued him through the bush and he feared for his life. “I noticed that every time I took a stroke with the paddle of my kayak, whatever this thing was, it was taking a stride to each paddle I was taking,” he said. “I stopped for a bit and the sound stopped in the bush, too, and I thought it was a bit odd. So I took off paddling again and sure enough, as soon as I started to paddle, every stroke, this thing would take a step. So whatever it was, this thing was following me. It wasn’t a coincidence or anything. It was more of a stalk.”
Freaked out, John still had the presence of mind to take a photo of whatever it was pursuing him. “The creature, I actually got it in the photo (above), what I think it is – I’ve spoken to a few people – and I reckon it’s a dogman,” he continued. “After that I couldn’t go back to the area to check it out by myself. I was petrified for probably a month. I was waking up in the middle of the night and seeing the creature in my dreams.”
Although admittedly petrified, he finally returned to the area on another fishing trip and this occasion, heard what he described as a “bit of a bang” followed by the sounds of someone – or some thing – running. “As it was running, it was smashing trees out of the way,” he recalled. “I don’t know if they were breaking or it was hitting them, you couldn’t see ... because it was so thick.”
Then he said, the dogman, or whatever it was, begin to roar and he [John] started running toward his car. “I’d never heard anything like it in my life,” he insisted. “It would roar and then it would take a breath in, but then the breath it was taking was actually louder than the roar it was doing.
“This creature just went to another level and it was crazy,” John explained. “I could hear in my head something saying, ‘Go now or you’ll die.’ It wasn’t my own voice, my own consciousness, it was something else. That 10 minutes was probably the longest in my whole life, I thought I was going to be killed. I had no weapons, didn’t even have my fishing knife, no phone service.
“I’d heard about it [the dogman], and thought it was a joke, but actually I’ve had encounters with it now and it’s terrifying,” he added. “I wouldn’t be putting myself out showing these photos if it was a fake, or I didn’t know that there was actually something there. That’s the main reason I came forward, I’m worried that someone’s going to go missing or get hurt, and I’ll have it in the back of my mind that I should have told someone about that.”
