I read somewhere that hundreds of years ago Native Americans in northern Minnesota use to trade with the Dogmen. These Dogmen talked with their own language and had their own camps/towns. I live in northern Michigan and have seen 2 Dogmen in my life time. They are real, there have been many sightings of them over the years here in northern Michigan, especially in the Manistee national forest!

[@wcstrawberryfields8011]

Born and raised near Gaylord and Petoskey. No sightings, but on several warm summer nights I recall the baying of huge dogs in the wetlands of the Sturgeon River. They howled for hours. Where were your sightings?

@maxmizer002 I ran it through Google translate and it said "I'm angry at life, need to vent it and this is the least destructive means I can think of.". seems right to me...their AI is really coming along 🤭 ❤️‍🩹 ✌️

[@john-ic5pz]

@1tarawho a Lakota man in the Black Hills told me about the dogmen. I spent ten years in SE Asia and saw "impossible" things of the shamanic variety but never here in the USA. rather than werewolves, they have weretigers. those who know the mantra can transform into tigers, often to hunt game in the jungle more easily and transform back afterwards bringing the kill home for their family. both men and women were eligible and it tended to follow family lines. also are the คงกระพัน Kong.gra.paan, like the Viking berserkers... can't be shot, stabbed, etc and fight like a wild animal on PCP. called "king of the bears magic", as the skin repels attacks like a bears. no joke, the incantations allow one to gather honey without being stung too! I've seen it done fist hand 🤯. dude was swarmed for ≈ 3 minutes, digging the nest out of a patch of bamboo trees but there was not a sting on him. he made a point of grinning as he walked back to us and held his arms, etc out for me to inspect. nature isn't what we were led to believe it is. ✌️🤓

[@PeterWard-e6q]

I can't be happier that you are back you brilliant Hammersmith Peters

[@KonguZya]

The Nootka initiations sound so similar to the Indo-European Koryos rituals. Makes you wonder if there's some cultural lineage that goes all the way back to the steppe area before different groups branched out and settled the world, or if the wolf just sparks a certain kind of response in the human psyche.

[@davidowens1425]

When I saw this I thought the exact same thing. The Dan Davis History channel has a good video on it. Also, The Histocrat is another.

[@HammersonPeters]

Oh wow, that's very interesting. Unbelievable similarities.

[@mattredfern1339]

maybe even a reaction to the dark days when we were hunted almost to the point of extinction by neanderthal man. now that is a fascinating theory for why homo erectus today carry two percent neanderthal dna alongside the smallest chromosome count within the human genome when compared with other primates. specifically with chimpanzees for instance who are said to have forty eight chromosomes in their karyotype compared with forty six for humans. makes a fair bit of sense really, explains both of those biological facts presuming they're correct that is of course whilst supporting the theory that we really don't come from monkeys. personally i never did like science that much let alone trust it but for sure it is interesting and has to contain an element of Truth somewhere or nearer to nobody rather than almost everybody would buy into it. surprised they allowed that one out to be fair, after all the system still supports darwinism, despite him backtracking on his death bed...

[@Wrestling4404]

There is a peculiar connection between Northern Europeans and Indigenous Americans in a common archaic ancestors, Ancient North Eurasians or ANE.

The Strait of Georgia is still the Strait of Georgia. The name Salish Sea is used to apply to all the waters that are connected the Strait of Juan De Fuca, that includes Puget Sound, and many others. It didn’t replace any other names, contrary to what many seem to think.

[@bromisovalum8417]

These stories are similar to the description of the mysterious Neuri tribe, said by Herodotus to live somewhere in what is now Eastern Europe. They wore wolfskins and masks, but once a year they could actually transform into wolves. I think there is more truth in myth and folklore than what is presented in our modern history books.

[@TheUnknownCountry]

14:30 that legend is very similar to another legend from the Coast Salish Tla’amin (Sliammon) Nation. I read it in a book “Sliammon Life, Sliammon Lands” by Dorothy Kennedy and Randy Bouchard. It is interesting how many legends can be so similar even when separated by quite a bit of time and distance.

Wasn't that a lion?

[@andrewstevenson118]

@@BathrobeKeck Maybe. From Wiki: "It was said to attack with formidable teeth and claws, and appeared to be the size of a calf or cow and seemed to fly or bound across fields towards its victims. These descriptions from the period could identify the beast as a young lion, a striped hyena, a large wolf, a large dog, or a wolfdog, though its identity is still the subject of debate."

[@HammersonPeters]

Funny you should ask me about that. Last night, I was going through the Claude E. Schaeffer fonds in the Glenbow Museum Archives and found a few hand-written notes about them in there, but they are buried pretty deep. 'Blackfoot Lodge Tales' has some stories featuring them. They also appear in Marcel M.C. Dirk's book 'But Names Will Never Hurt Me,' which covers the various legends behind the naming of Medicine Hat, Alberta. I bet you could probably find some mentions of them in the writings of James Willard Schultz, but I haven't gone through all his books. Maybe I'll try to make a video about them one of these days.

Where i live, werewolves were said to be kind and benevolent forest creatures who would help lost travellers and children. Quite unique compared to other werewolf legends around the world.

[@nicres]

May I ask where?

[@generaleerelativity9524]

​@@nicresthe Enchanted Forest. Duh!🤤

[@mattredfern1339]

that'll be "dogman", cynocephaly, think greek orthodox church st Christopher. a werewolf is a different animal altogether. said to be an unwanted curse it's often said they can get some control over it given enough time, even being able to change back and forth outside of the lunar cycle, but the killing itself is not optional or they can't change back but once experienced enough they can choose none human targets. but when they're new to it they have no control, think of movies where the werewolf is often shocked and dismayed after they have changed back and realised what they did. of course then there's the sceptics take on it, it's all metaphor for the inner turmoil of a sociopathic murderer. Jekyll and Hyde. bollocks to that, human murderers harm others by deliberate action through choice, hence they're psychopaths not sociopaths.

TruthJunkie ✨🇨🇦ThankYou ! These are stories worth remembering and sharing! I asked my mother if she were familiar with cryptids where she grew up in Quebec and she named two of them there. I had just viewed the Patterson Film when it first aired in the early 1970’s it was of a Sasquatch caught on film 🎥 its a famous footage today ! That capture started up my curiosity about the unseen world happening around us . I felt everyone was around me was distracted it was confirming what I was seeing or sensing . Your personal family story is a very interesting story about a real creature it certainly peeked my interest.

[@JurassicDaikaiju]

My favorite werewolves are the ones from Irish myth, who were said to be noble warriors that embody wisdom & courage. This reflects the role real wolves in the ecosystems they inhabit, preventing prey species from over-populating & overgrazing. Without wolves & other apex predators are vital in maintaining the health of the planet.

[@mico1664]

The Ulffandar are viking warriors,akin to Berzerkers but wolves not bears. Unlike their ursine counterparts they fight in packs and act as wolves.

[@matthewb2768]

They were like special forces. Utilized as spies, sabotaging supplies and weapons, and shock troops.

[@paranormalparatrooper.7413]

I wonder if all of this has anything to do with the modern dogman attacks and encounters in the US.

[@maxf7351]

Question for the creator or anyone who may know- is the pic at 3:19 a genuine photograph, or really good AI art? And if it's the former- is it also unadulterated & as it was when it was taken, aka without artificial alterations or additions? Because if that's a real picture taken of a real tribe, in a real location dressed in their traditional ceremonial costume... there is some extremely spooky stuff going on there. Im talking WTF is that thing spooky, only several times. What is behind the men, between the totems in the back & in the dark? Looks like a monster from each of top 5 major families have a representative there- from the glowing eyed shadow being far left, to the reptoid or hatman opposite right- & everything in between. Like the Rake & skin jumper in the middle & to the left with a big wolf headed thing behind them, & note the real broad shouldered no neck guy with it's head placed squarely on top located center/right- a dark shadow like shape that resembles Sasquatch. It's a cool piece if someone created it, and needs to be studied if the real deal. My apologies for the encyclopedia long comment, odd things in images stand out to me & i get excited - like a puppy, or easily entertained adult male 😜 real or fake, or in between?

[@anonymousanonymous6735]

Nope. You're alone on that one.

[@myragroenewegen5426]

I rather like the odd twists of the story about the two wolf-raised brothers of the island. It's easy to expect that the magical man and beautiful woman who bring the brother who longs for civilization back to it are a happy ending, and that his poor brother will eventually end up sadder, living with animals. Instead the wolf brother chooses this breaking point to pursue his own full adult coming-of-age as a wolf which appears to go quite well--he integrates happily into the community he has come to love. Meanwhile, it seems that the human world has lured his brother into a trap rather than recued him and we are left with the feeling that magical humans are more dangerous than magical animals. This would be a natural place to wrap up the story, but instead the human brother returns home to the wolves, only to be attacked by an entirely different animal, when he wn't listen to his animal family's advice, causing even his brother to almost be cast out. Since the story begins with a mother abandoning young children to float in an uncertain state, before being killed herself, I can't help but think this is all about people who struggle almost from birth to find the right community to belong in, the place where they will not be threatened physically and otherwise, the right family and community to grow up in. I like that the human brother continues looking for his mother's people, apparently still convinced that there must be a people he can belong with somewhere, but, while his brother seems to be plenty able to defend himself and reintegrate into his wolf people, we have no assurances that humankind will welcome the kid who roams the earth looking for human community. Animals, it seems have less to prove than people do, when it comes to providing functional community,even if they also deal with life-threatening violence.
